Texas mom will endure eight surgeries to look like Melania Trump

At one Houston plastic surgeon’s office, first lady Melania Trump has one-upped her fashionista stepdaughter as the leading plastic surgery muse out of the Trump clan.

Dr. Franklin Rose recently told the Houston Chronicle that his office has seen an uptick of local women looking to get the “Melania makeover.” Previously, the “Ivanka look” was the most sought after in Rose’s office.

"I've have had many women visit my office wanting the 'Ivanka look,'" Rose said in a press release earlier this week. "So, it's not really surprising to see women now requesting to look more like Melania, who is simply gorgeous."

One such request came from Claudia Sierra, a mom who resides in Cypress, Texas. The cancer survivor told the Chronicle she intends to undergo eight surgeries to perfect the Slovenian-born former model and first lady’s look.

“I want to feel like the first lady that I know I am inside," Sierra explained in a media statement.

Sierra’s scheduled procedures include a revision breast reconstruction, revision rhinoplasty, tummy tuck, Brazilian butt lift, eyelid lift and unspecified injectable treatments.

The big reveal of Sierra’s makeover won’t be available to the public until the fall, when she appears in an episode of “Inside Edition.”
