PRESIDENT Joe Biden can’t afford to have any more work done on his face, and it’s not because he’s losing his White House salary next year, a plastic surgeon — who does not treat the president — has warned.
Biden celebrated his 82nd birthday on Wednesday, and while he may be young enough to lead a country, he could have aged out of elective surgeries.

Biden made history for being the oldest sitting president, and his age has dominated conversations surrounding his incumbency.
The Democrat leader sparked fears among supporters for years of gaffes and dropped phrases, especially after he bombed a key presidential debate against rival Donald Trump.
Public uncertainty left him no choice but to show off his youthful side, and medical professionals claim that may have led him under the knife.
Speaking exclusively to The U.S. Sun, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie speculated that Biden has had hair transplants and one to two facelifts.
“Looking through his photos, I think earlier on in his life, maybe as early as 30s or 40s, he was already thinning in his hair,” Dr. Motykie said.
“I think he’s had multiple hair transplant procedures to restore his hairline.”
Dr. Motykie claimed there’s a key clue hiding behind Biden’s ear that suggests the president has had his face done.
“You can see some scarring by his ears and the pulling of his earlobes, so that’s a sign he underwent a facelift,” the surgeon said.
After looking at Biden’s smile, Dr. Motykie thought he saw evidence that Biden likely had his upper eyelids pushed up and a brow lift to hide some facial wrinkles.
Overall, the professional believes Biden could have spent upwards of $150,000 on plastic surgery.
However, in Dr. Motykie’s opinion, the alleged procedures aren’t out of the ordinary.
“A lot of politicians fall victim to these things because they’re on camera,” he said.
“If they start looking a little bit exhausted or tired, they undergo these procedures because they wanna come across having vigor and vitality.
“I think this is not something that happened recently, but maybe something over the last 30 to 40 years.”
Part of why Dr. Motykie believes that Biden got most of his potential work done when he was younger is the risks that come with surgery when you’re older.
“The risk of the procedures do go up as the health goes down and your age goes up,” he said.
“So at some point, you’re gonna have to weigh out risk versus benefit, and if Biden’s in his 90s and older, the risk of the procedures can go up.
“At that point, you may say that the risk is not worth the benefit.”
Timeline of Biden’s failed re-election bid
President Joe Biden endured weeks of calls to step aside before he announced on July 21 that he was dropping out of the 2024 presidential race. Here are key developments leading up to his decision.
June 27: Biden’s disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump sparks calls for him to step aside. His voice was raspy and he trailed off several times after having already endured questions about his age and mental capacity following a series of blunders at public events.
July 2: Polls after the debate indicate that Trump is pulling ahead. Texas Representative Lloyd Doggett was the first Democratic congressman to publicly urge Biden to drop his bid for re-election, and big Democratic donors issued the same call a day later.
July 5: Biden does a live TV interview with George Stephanopoulos where he tries to quell fears about his age and debate performance. He called the debate “bad night” and said he was under the weather and “exhausted.”
July 10: Vermont Senator Peter Welch becomes the first senator to call for Biden to drop out.
July 11: Biden refers to Ukrainian President Zelensky as President Putin at a NATO event.
July 13: Trump is shot at a campaign rally by a wannabe assassin. His popularity and favorability rating soared after he was seen bloodied on stage but walked off with a fist in the air, telling the crowd to “fight!”
July 17: California Representative Adam Schiff and a series of other Democrats call for Biden to step aside. Even former President Barack Obama tells allies that Biden’s path to victory has “greatly diminished.” Biden tests positive for Covid-19 hours after saying he would consider ending his bid if he were diagnosed with “some medical issue.”
July 19: Biden insists he will continue campaigning in his first statement since Obama’s U-turn, despite reports that he would decide to drop out by the weekend.
July 21: Just before 2 pm, Biden announces he is stepping aside in the 2024 election and endorses Vice President Kamala Harris.
BIDEN VS. TRUMP
Trump, who is preparing to take over Biden’s responsibilities after crushing rival Kamala Harris in the election, is not much younger than the incumbent Democrat.
However, at 78 years old, the president-elect has impressed the country with his vivacious soul and charismatic speeches.
According to Dr. Motykie’s experience, this uncontested popularity could prevent Trump from having plastic surgery.
“I think that President Trump definitely comes off as much more vital with a lot more vigor and, you know, and energy,” he said.
“So I don’t think he had a need to do procedures.”
Trump is walking into 2025 with Republican control of the Senate and the House of Representatives, and has already assembled major players in his cabinet.
Sentencing for his hush money conviction case is also up in the air, as prosecutors say it should be postponed until after the presidency.
Meanwhile, Biden has made a point to pass down his presidency peacefully and was filmed in the White House shaking Trump’s hand and offering congratulations.
In the meeting with Biden, Trump thanked the Democratic incumbent for helping to make the transition so “smooth” and added that “politics is tough.”
“But it is a nice world today,” Trump said.
