Cosmetic experts weigh in on Trump AG’s choice of Pam Bondi’s age-defying look
Donald Trump’s election as attorney general stunned during her confirmation hearing in the Senate this week.
And it wasn’t just her quick answers and political acumen that impressed.
People couldn’t believe that the rising MAGA star was 59 years old as social media was full of posts about her age-defying looks.
Cosmetic experts have partially attributed her youthful appearance to her incredible weight loss journey, estimating that she has lost 50 to 30 pounds in recent years.
Dr. Norman Rowe, a plastic surgeon in Florida and New York City, said Bondi’s shows ‘stunning’ physical transformation “An ounce of prevention is worth a lot of cure.”
Meanwhile, Dr. Paul Rosenberg – a plastic surgeon in New York City – believes her look was achieved through expert use of makeup, hair dye and a rigorous skin care routine.
But Dr. Rosenberg said he couldn’t rule out cosmetic work.
He said that most women approaching their 60s, especially after losing a lot of weight, have loose skin around the neck and cheeks.
While this could just be luck, Dr. Rosenberg said this could have been achieved with a face or neck lift, a procedure that tightens and lifts the skin.
‘Her nasolabial folds (folds that run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth) are better in more recent photos and there is less sagging compared to before,’ he told DailyMail.com.

‘I don’t think this is a diet, that’s an operation. So she may have had a neck lift and she may have had a facelift.’
The surgeons also hinted at possible Botox use. Dr. Rowe said she had a suspiciously “stationary” forehead during the hearing, indicating that the muscles had been frozen by the injections.
MAGA is no stranger to plastic surgery rumors, with many people in Trump’s inner circle said to have undergone cosmetic procedures, a trend some are calling the “Mar-a-Lago” face.
Lara Trump, Trump’s daughter-in-law who is married to his son Eric, and Ivanka have been accused of going under the knife.
Matt Gaetz, who was nominated for attorney general for nine days before withdrawing and allowing Bondi to take the nomination, has also been hit by plastic surgery rumors.

Dr. Rowe applauded Bondi’s physical transformation, saying: “She is an example of someone who has taken care of herself. TThis clearly shows how an ounce of prevention is worth a lot, a lot of healing.’
Dr. Adam Rubinstein – a plastic surgeon in Miami – said a big part of her weight loss transformation: ‘She is a beautiful woman and she has very beautiful facial features, which have largely remained unchanged over time.
“What’s happened is she’s slimmed down quite a bit.
‘She was attorney general of the state of Florida, and that is a very busy job where you have to run from one meeting to the next without wasting any time.
“So unless you make a concerted effort to take care of yourself — eat right and exercise a little — before you know it, you’ll be looking at a scale number you never thought you’d see.”
Bondi was thrust into the mainstream consciousness last month after she was nominated as attorney general following Matt Gaetz’s withdrawal amid allegations of sexual misconduct.
On Wednesday, she appeared at a Senate subcommittee hearing where she was questioned about her nomination.
The Subcommittee continued to listen this week to people who had worked with Bondi. She could be confirmed in the position the following week.

Dr. Sean McNally, a plastic surgeon from Oregon who spoke to the Daily Star, also suggested that Bondi may have had a neck lift.
He said: ‘Her neck skin looks less saggy than I would expect from someone who has lost 50 pounds.
“She may have had minimally invasive skin tightening with Renuvion or microneedling to address this area.”
The Bondi team did not respond to DailyMail.com’s requests for comment.
Commenting on Bondi’s appearance online, Dr Sheila Nazarian – who is also a plastic surgeon – said: ‘Pam Bondi is 59 years old. 59. Years. Old.
‘As a plastic surgeon, I would like to shake hands with any colleague of mine who has done so. Bravo. A medal. Wow.’
Another viewer said online, “At least she found a better plastic surgeon than the rest of the Republican women have used (and Matt Gaetz).”
And a third said: ‘I have an important question for Pam Bondi, who is your plastic surgeon? Inquiring minds want to know!’
