In the photo, Trump wears a lilac outfit and makes a pouty face. Dr. Caughlin noted her chin and jawline looked sharper than before and suggested fillers may have been used to shape those features.

Following his remarks on Trump's selfie, Dr. Caughlin offered further insight into the possible enhancements behind her transformation. He explained:
"Volume in the right spots can really make a difference. You can widen the mandible laterally. You can also lengthen it posteriorly. You can make the body of the mandible and the body of the jaw a little bit longer. It can be really slenderizing, particularly in females."

Before the Paris photo, another image had already drawn attention. In July 2024, Trump posted a picture, showing off her smooth side profile and noticeably curved nose.

He suggested the change may be the result of a non-surgical rhinoplasty using filler, likely performed to create better harmony with the rest of her facial features.

That wasn't the only time her nose caught the eye of professionals. Some experts believe Trump may have had rhinoplasty — possibly more than once — to help smooth and refine her profile.

Adding to the discussion, another expert provided additional perspective on how these transformations might happen. Dr. Joel Kopelman, a facial plastic surgeon from New York City, said:
"In some cases, achieving a highly refined nasal shape, like the 'ski slope' appearance, may require more than one procedure."

He explained that the first procedure often fixes the structure or size, while a second one could fine-tune the tip or smooth out the bridge.

Attention also turned to Trump's chin after her November 2023 court appearance. Back in 2020, it looked smaller and closer to her face.

By 2023 and 2024, it appeared longer and more defined, which experts say can be done by placing an implant through a small cut near the chin bone.

Around the same time, her jawline also drew attention in a few photos from spring. Dr. Kopelman noted that it looked wider and guessed that she might have had masseter Botox.

In addition to the Botox theory, there may be other explanations for the change in her jaw. Dr. Kopelman mentioned that chin or jaw implants could also create a defined structure and a stronger lower face. According to him, more people are now asking for this kind of look.

Besides, experts also noticed changes in other parts of her face. Dr. Antell said Trump likely added volume to her chin and had lip fillers. Dr. Caughlin explained that fillers help smooth the face, reduce tiredness, and enhance features like cheeks and lips.

Changes in Trump's cheeks also stood out to experts. Dr. Steven Fallek, a plastic surgeon in New York and Medical Advisor to Maskad Skincare, pointed out that her cheeks looked fuller in her Paris photos, especially along the sides of her face.

Dr. Kopelman agreed, suggesting that cheek fillers were likely used to subtly enhance and refresh her appearance without the need for surgery. Another expert shared a similar opinion about the changes in her face.

Dr. Caughlin said Trump likely had more filler added to the upper outer parts of her cheeks. According to him, adding volume in that area can create a noticeable structure and make the face look more balanced.

Beyond fillers, other techniques may have helped enhance Trump's smooth appearance. Dr. Caughlin pointed to a mix of Botox, laser treatments, and careful photo editing.

He said her still face was likely due to neurotoxin use, which is meant to freeze muscle movement and stop wrinkles.

While this can look good on camera, he added that too much of it might seem strange in real life when someone tries to show emotion.

Aside from Botox, laser treatments may have also helped the businesswoman's skin look smooth and clear. Doctors think she may have used either fractional lasers or Intense Pulsed Light (IPL).

Fractional lasers work by creating tiny injuries in the skin, which trigger the body to heal and slowly improve the skin's texture and reduce fine lines.

Along with fractional lasers, another common method might have helped Trump's skin appear even brighter. IPL is known to treat dark spots caused by the sun or age and helps the skin produce more collagen, which smooths out fine lines.

Dr. Kopelman suggested that her clear skin is likely the result of a combination of Botox, laser treatments, and possibly some photo editing. He added that many people use all three to get a clean, polished look.
