This just confirms my theory that every single celebrity/politician/tv personality has had work done. Also- telltale old facelift scar and a crapton of recent fillers

Finally some levity in a grim world. I'm all in with team FL.

I thought he had a facelift years ago since his face looked different in 2020 than it did in 2008

Fun topic but it’s an obvious yes

Great discourse. I feel soooo much more educated in making well informed decisions post reading this well informed article. Heavy research going on in your news rooms closed doors. Keep digging.

You can take the Mirkinson out of Kinja, but you can never take the Kinja out of Mirkinson.

They just keep stretching his skin over his skull, tighter and tighter. I bet if you tapped it, it would sound like a snare drum.

Besides, the man famously got hair plugs back when it was a nascent quasi-science. He is famously vain despite being no great shakes, lookswise, according to me. I'd say the question isn't whether he has had a facelift and necklift--the questions are how many and how often?

The power of investigative journalism: I was firmly team no lift until reading the blog and I’ve now done a 180. He got that lift!

I am a "yes, but not recently." I think people were talking about it sometime in the Obama administration. You can't deny that pale scar skin in front of his ears. I think the interesting thing is how well it held.

I don’t really care?

Where's the "don't care" option?

many years ago, when the internet had informative pieces almost daily, I learned that Washington DC is second only to LA in plastic surgeons per capita

Yes, but it was years ago. Too much going on in the world to get hung up on this silly question. So I can't give you the years that he had the lift but I noticed it then. I've been a Biden follower for a couple decades. So, when he showed up on TV with the lift, I noticed immediately. It may have been when he was VP or even earlier. I could name a dozen or more men and women (political and/or celebrities) who have had lifts. Most people in the public eye over 60 have had them. But, some people have good skin and no wrinkles at an advanced age. Trump has probably had the bags under his eyes tucked and there is something going on at his temples. Melania appears to have had extensive work done on her face. But, again, there are more important things for us to be talking about.
