Conspiracy theorists claimed Melania Trump used a body double on Election Day, sparked by her wearing large sunglasses indoors. Online speculation suggested she might be hiding recent cosmetic surgery or even her identity, with the hashtag #FakeMelania trending. However, experts have debunked the theory, attributing her altered appearance to cosmetic procedures. Surgeons speculated she had fillers and possibly a nose job to maintain a youthful look. Dr. Dennis Schimpf suggested she may have done this anticipating media scrutiny, while Dr. Gary Motykie confirmed changes to her nose and mid-face. Some social media users joked about her denying cosmetic work, while others criticized the physical changes, with some expressing disappointment at her altered appearance.
