Fox News host Laura Ingraham has been a household TV name since the 1990s.
The 62-year-old first worked at MSNBC in the 1990s as a commentator and hosted her own program, “Watch It!” She joined Fox—a firm supporter of Donald Trump’s MAGA campaign—in October 2017 and has hosted her hit program, The Ingraham Angle, ever since.
Viewers have claimed that her appearance has changed over the years and that her face looks very different from what it did in throwback pictures. They have also speculated that she may have had plastic surgery because she is constantly smiling. The speculation about her looks comes after Ingraham lashed out at a crowd of MAGA supporters on Friday after they booed in response to a question she posed about the results of the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.
The host has not addressed the claims publically. But Dr. Joel Kopelman, a facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon, believes that she may have gone under the knife.

Dr. Kopelman said Ingraham’s skin looks smooth, youthful, and glowing in recent photos. He believes this may indicate she has had a “facelift.”
He also noted the changes may be due to less-invasive procedures such as laser resurfacing, chemical peels, or injectable fillers. The doctor said her eyebrow position could indicate she had a facelift or a brow lift.

Dr. Kopelman pointed out that the two procedures are typically performed together because “lifting the brows and reducing forehead wrinkles [offers] a refreshed look.” Discussing claims her open mouth could indicate she has had cosmetic surgery, Dr. Kopelman said she may have had lip fillers that were not balanced correctly, resulting in an “unnatural fullness that affects how the lips rest.”
He also suggested that her open mouth might be a result of other reasons. He said, “It’s also worth noting that non-surgical factors, like dental work or age-related changes in muscle tone, could contribute to this appearance.”
The doctor also believes his appearance may simply be due to aging. He said, “Sometimes, what seems surgical in nature may simply reflect personal habits or age-related shifts. For a woman of Ingraham’s age, no matter what procedures she has or has not had done, she certainly looks youthful, refreshed, and upbeat.”

Ingram said in November last year that she manages to stay young and youthful looking because she has no booze during the week and drinks lots of water. She told Dailymail.com, “I drink water every chance I get, and then I have zero alcohol during the week,’ she says. ‘I’m one of those people who thinks it’s fun to have a margarita every now and then, but that’s it.”
Last week, Ingraham made an awkward comment about her former Fox News colleagues, many of whom are now working in the Trump administration, serving in the president’s Cabinet in various capacities. At a Turning Point USA event she said, “The administration has Hegseth, OK? They have Duffy. They have Judge Jeanine, OK? Tulsi Gabbard — all these Fox people. I’m feeling a little left out here. Like, is there anyone left at Fox at this juncture?”
