Melania Trump: Throwback Photos vs. Now, Amidst Facelift Speculation (2 of 5)

At the time of this photo, Donald Trump had been separated from his second wife, Marla Maples, for over a year. Their divorce in 1999 left them co-parenting their daughter, Tiffany. Donald also shares three children—Don Jr., Ivanka, and Eric—with his first wife, Ivana. Melania entered the picture as Donald’s third wife, and their union brought forth their son, Barron, on March 20, 2006. Barron, who is bilingual in Slovenian and English, is set to graduate from high school this year.

Melania’s youthful appearance has sparked much speculation about whether she has undergone plastic surgery. Experts suggest that, compared to many other celebrities, Melania has had minimal cosmetic interventions. Observers note that her cheeks appear fuller than they did in her younger days, which could be attributed to cheek fillers and the natural aging process. However, most experts agree that she likely has not had a facelift yet. At 54, she is still on the younger side of the typical age range for such a procedure. Her well-maintained appearance could be the result of good genetics, professional skincare, and minor cosmetic touch-ups.
