Melania’s 'before and after' photos revealed

Her wrinkle-free face is so envied around the world, it’s even spawned its own plastic surgery trend called ‘the Melania’.

Now experts say first lady Melania Trump is no stranger to going under the knife herself, with surgeons estimating she’s spent at least $20,000 in procedures over the years.

Modelling shots taken from early in Melania’s career show the fresh-faced brunette looking distinctly less sculpted than she does today.

Surgeons claim the First Lady has undergone a whole host of procedures including lip fillers to boost her pout, and Botox for her flawless complexion.

"I noticed the very obvious signs of likely Botox recently, when watching her on a TV interview,” UK plastic surgeon Dr. Dev Patel told The Express.

“This suggests too heavy doses are being used by her doctor. The effects of Botox look great but only when the result is more natural in appearance."

Dr Patel estimates Donald Trump’s wife has splashed out at least $20,000 on procedures.

Other surgeons also believe Melania has undergone rhinoplasty to slim the shape of her nose.

“Comparing the earlier photo from when she is younger and the later life pictures one can see that the nasal shape has changed,” Consultant Plastic Surgeon Jag Chana told The Express.

In spite of this, Melania steadfastly maintains that her beauty regime is all natural and she’s simply been blessed with amazing genes.

“I’m against Botox, I’m against injections,” she told GQ magazine last year. “I think it’s damaging your face, damaging your nerves. It’s all me. I will age gracefully, as my mum does."
