On election day, Melania Trump was spotted wearing large sunglasses indoors, which led to rumors that she was using a body double. Social media users speculated that recent cosmetic surgery could be behind her altered appearance, sparking the #FakeMelania trend.

Plastic surgeons, however, have dismissed these claims. Dr. Dennis Schimpf suggested she may have had fillers to enhance her features, while Dr. Gary Motykie pointed to a possible nose job and maintenance treatments like Botox. Others simply attributed her appearance to stress from the campaign.While some defended her choices, others criticized her for denying any cosmetic work, with one user joking, “Of course she has, with her money and the pressure to look 25 at 75.” The debate continues over Melania’s evolving appearance.
