Joe Biden sparks plastic surgery rumours
“Biden’s face is doing something weird. His forehead wrinkles are moving around and getting stuck. When he scratched his nose his skin appeared to move alongside the right area of his nose and get stuck in place. Odd,” an X user commented on a clip featuring Biden and Trump engaged in a ‘war of ugly words’ throwing personal jabs and shade at each other.

What surgeons think about Joe Biden’s plastic surgery rumours?
Speaking to InTouch, a Beverly Hills-based plastic surgeon said, “I would estimate that over the years Joe Biden has spent up to $100,000 on plastic surgery!” Dr Motykie believes the president has undergone cosmetic procedures, such as a brow lift and a facelift.
This isn’t the first time rumours of cosmetic procedures on his face have made headlines. In July 2023, Representative Greg Murphy of North Carolina claimed that Joe Biden had undergone “so much plastic surgery” and “so much filler” that it might have impacted his health. At the time Murphy told Fox News, “Let’s look at Joe. He’s had so much plastic surgery, so much botox, so much filler. That’s on the outside. I deal in a surgical field that has a lot of older patients and so I have seen patients through the year decline mentally—it’s just a fact, it’s what happens.”
Today’s debate centred on both presidential candidates arguing over who is more fit and capable of governing effectively. The discussion turned personal, with references to Trump’s wife Melania and his young son Barron, as well as harsh criticisms related to the hush money trial. In response, Trump deflected questions about his age and health by boasting about his golf swing and claimed Biden would lead the world into World War III.
