While plastic surgery procedures and cosmetic enhancements
are generally expected for celebrities and those in the media
spotlight, some doctors are finding that more politicians are saying
“yes” to going under the knife.
According to Dr. Ayman Hakki of the Luxxery Cosmetic Medical
Boutique in Waldorf, Maryland, it’s interesting to note that a number
of politicians have already had some type of cosmetic enhancement in
order to preserve their youthful looks.
Dr. Hakki points out that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has had
Botox injections in her forehead, Vice President Joe Biden has had hair
transplants, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has had a
partial facelift, and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has had both a
neck lift and a face lift. (Source: ThePlasticSurgeryChannel.com)
Experts say that election time is “peak season” for many plastic
surgery procedures, but there is still a lot of stigma around the idea
that certain politicians may come across as vain instead of coming
across as friendly, youthful and healthy. In these cases, politicians
do their best to hide it.
According to board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Cap Lesesne,
“patients who were politicians and who had cosmetic procedures every
six months instead of all at once [would] avoid arousing any
suspicion.” (Source: ABoardCertifiedPlasticSurgeon.com) Still, others believe that it would be better for politicians to just admit that they are having plastic surgery.
Cosmetic procedures
continue to be an attractive option for individuals that want to
maintain a healthy and youthful appearance, combat the signs of aging
or improve their silhouette after weight loss. Some of today’s most
in-demand procedures include breast augmentation, facelift surgery,
rhinoplasty (nose job surgery) and liposuction. Minimally invasive
procedures that continue to be on the top list of coveted procedures in
the United States include Botox injections, injectable fillers, laser
skin resurfacing and cellulite treatments.
