I think when the surgery is good, nobody notices it.
I think some of them (weirdly) strive to look like they’ve had plastic surgery. It’s like a marking of their status or something.
There’s some mixture of an uncanny valley and/or Habsburg jaw effect to the women that surround Trump in particular.
When I heard Kristi Noem had to be rushed to the hospital due to an allergic reaction, my first thought was that it was from some type of cosmetic procedure she was having.
I think it’s more likely to be unregulated dysmorphia. Maybe they start with a bit to get the fox news look, but cut by cut wind up like that trying to fix every “flaw” with a procedure.
I really disagree with this. Her nose job, which was initially good, no longer fits her face. Her nose is super straight and it doesn’t really flow or move in the same way the lines of her face do. She also has some more asymmetry in her face (that probably can’t be changed with plastic surgery because it relates to eye position and bone length) in part due to aging and her nose isn’t at the right angle to fit the different planes of her face.
This is probably the effect of aging, not more and more plastic surgery. She probably had 1 nosejob possibly with cheek implants and has occasionally gotten lip fillers and possibly cheek fillers.
So at this point, Laura Loomer would look better with a revision rhinoplasty that made her nose look a bit bigger, more flow-ing, and less straight. The bridge could be at a slightly different angle to fit her face. Her nose would look worse but the overall flow and feeling of her face would be much better. If she has cheekplants, and I’m not sure if she does, she should take those out if she can.
So doing that would be expensive, time-consuming, and hard to do. Revision surgeries are riskier and cost more. They have longer recovery time and much more can go wrong. Additionally, it’s hard to made a nose that is “too straight” flow in a more natural way because you sort of would have to intentionally make the nose look a bit worse. She could do it and end up looking worse, even if she tries to be smart about. It would probably also cost a lot, probably many tens of thousands of dollars.
She is a political commentator, there’s no indication she’s super rich. She probably did the initial surgeries because she thought they would help her in her career and make her more attractive and doing revisions is expensive, has risks, and would require downtime.
I don’t agree with her politics, but this is not dysmorphia. My guess is it could be the opposite: she may realize a revision surgery could be beneficial but is concerned about additional costs and risks and so hasn’t done anything, instead just accepting things as they are.
I’ve only seen the before and afters and I’m a lot more experienced in watching the psychic collapse of people getting more and more cosmetic surgeries than I am with specific procedures, and I’ll acknowledge her behavior and the circles she runs in have biased me towards thinking suicide by thousand cuts rather than a few ill advised procedures having unfortunate effects and it not being worth it to try to undo.
If your theory is correct then I’m somewhat sympathetic to that scenario. Especially as its increasingly common for political commentators and figures to have work done.

That’s a fair assessment.
