Joe Biden Plastic Surgery, Increasing numbers of doctors say they see signs of cosmetic medical work in Sen. Joe Biden’s face, but the Biden campaign says he hasn’t undergone the knife.

Responding to a New York doctor’s analysis of changes in the Democratic vice presidential candidate’s appearance from 2004 to 2008 , Biden spokesman David Wade told the New York Post that Biden had not had plastic surgery.

“I don’t know how to say no firmly enough. Absolutely not. That’s not a misdiagnosis, that’s called malpractice,” Wade said.

He called the statements by Manhattan plastic surgeon Dr. Oleh Slupchynskyj “completely untrue, completely unsubstantiated, completely stupid.”

It was unclear whether Wade was disputing the frequent suggestion that Biden has had Botox injections, or only Slupchynskyj’s further suggestion that Biden had plastic surgery around his eyes.

Slupchynskyj said he “would bet my next paycheck on this assessment,” which was based on viewing photos of Biden over the years. He said most of the work was done around Biden’s eyes.

“It appears that he had some sort ‘lateral brow/eyelid lift. Whether it be a string lift or a formal surgical lift, [it’s] hard to say. But I would bet on some kind of lateral brow lift with strings or non-invasive technique.”

“He definitely had Botox in the forehead region.”

Plastic surgeon Dr. Renato Pier Calabria of Beverly Hills agrees with Slupchynskyj about the Botox injections. He told this blog:

It does appear that Sen. Biden has had Botox treatment to smooth out his forehead. The telltale sign is the fact that the tail of the brows are slightly higher. (We call it “Star Trek” look.)

Also it appears that the upper eyelid are droopy because the effect of the Botox on the forehead. Botox is also used for television interviews to eliminate sweating under the camera lights.

In an earlier In Your Face blog post, two plastic surgeons said that Biden’s appearance during last week’s vice presidential debate provided evidence Biden has had Botox injections.

In the post, “Botoxed Biden – how cosmetic docs helped Democratic debater,” Dr. John Di Saia of San Clemente said Biden “has likely had Botulinum toxin treatments.” In contrast to Slupchynskyj, Di Saia thinks Biden needs plastic surgery around his eyes.

Plastic surgeon Dr. Jason Pozner of Boca Raton, Fla., said Biden’s Botox injections were poorly done. They aggravated the senator’s drooping eyebrows, he said.
