EXCLUSIVE Plastic surgeon reveals secrets to Kamala Harris aging so gracefully at 59 READ MORE: The full list of the stars who have embraced fine lines By Luke Andrews Senior Health Reporter For Dailymail.Com Published: 14:48, 18 August 2024 | Updated: 14:48, 18 August 2024 e-mail View comments Kamala Harris will turn 60 years old in just two months. But to many Americans, the vice president appears much younger, with many shocked to learn she is the same age as her graying running mate Governor Tim Walz.
Capitol Hill is rife with plastic surgery rumors, from Joe Biden to Donald Trump , Nancy Pelosi and lower ranking congressmen like Matt Gaetz. After reviewing dozens of photos of Kamala right through her two-decade career, top plastic surgeon Dr Gary Linkov has given his verdict on the cosmetic adjustments he believes she's had.

It has been suggested she's had teeth whitening Democratic presidential candidate and Vice President Kamala Harris attends a campaign event in Las Vegas this month Speaking to DailyMail.com, Dr Linkov — who runs City Facial Plastics in New York — said: 'For her age, she looks so youthful — and it doesn't seem like there was much work done. 'It looks like she is still her natural self, which is great.
'I am a proponent of doing whatever it is that people want, and if that's very little then that's great.' He added: 'To maintain good skin, one of the biggest things is sun protection — so wearing sunscreen — and maintaining a degree of hydration, like a cleanser or moisturizer. 'It looks like she's done this, and the truth is — you really don't need a 15-step skincare routine to keep the skin looking more youthful.
' Harris previously revealed her minimalist skincare routine in a candid moment during the 2019 presidential campaign, when she was President Joe Biden's running-mate.

Harris said : 'Since I've been campaigning, I use the wipes to clean, but otherwise, I use the skin cleanser.
'I have just a regular moisturizer and that's it.' Cetaphil's moisturizing cream costs just $16 per bottle and is available from many retailers including Target, CVS and Amazon. Its gentle skin cleanser costs around $12 per bottle, while its cleansing wipes are priced at $8 for a pack of 25.
Dr Linkov said her youthful appearance was likely also aided by strong facial structure, which can help to hold skin in place and reduce sagging — a common occurrence with aging, and something many women combat by getting fillers to make their faces look full and plump. Dr Linkov also suggested she had likely had some micro-needling around her eyebrows, saying they appeared thicker than in past photos. Microneedling costs about $100 per session and involves needles creating micro-punctures in the skin to stimulate the body's natural healing process.
To see results, experts recommend three to four microneedling sessions with about a month between each — costing a total of up to $400. He dismissed online speculation she's had lip fillers, saying her thicker upper lip instead appeared to be due to the use of makeup. He could find no evidence of a facelift, nose job, brow lift or filler use in the Democratic nominee — and he dismissed suggestions she was a Botox user, saying the fine lines in her forehead have appeared to deepen over time.
He did suggest she had had veneers, however, small white shells placed in front of teeth to enhance their appearance, at a cost of $50,000. @cosmopolitan Can someone recommend a #serum for #KamalaHarris?

'When we fit veneers, we normally also make sure that the teeth appear much more symmetrical,' she told DailyMail.
com. 'You can't see this with Kamala.' 'But she has definitely had teeth whitening, her teeth are definitely brighter — they used to be much more dull.
'The cost of this could range from seven to nine thousand, in New York it is up to $1,900.' Harris' lack of cosmetic enhancements is in sharp contrast to Biden , who surgeons speculate has had everything from a face lift to a brow lift to fillers and a hair transplant. The President has never commented on these speculations.
And while Dr Linkov said Trump also appeared to be young for his age, this may have been aided by the cosmetic work he is rumored to have undergone — though he denies ever having any work done. He said: 'With Trump, clearly his hair had some work done. But the rest of his face hasn't, he hasn't had a face lift.
'He is old now, but he definitely does appear to be youthful for his years.' Kamala Harris Nancy Pelosi Donald Trump Share or comment on this article: Plastic surgeon reveals secrets to Kamala Harris aging so gracefully at 59 e-mail Add comment.
