His wrinkle-free face made headlines – with most commenters trolling him for allegedly using "too much Botox and fillers."
Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Corey L. Hartman, who has not worked with Gaetz, shared his opinion about the congressman in an interview with .
He said: "It's too heavy in the forehead and not lateral enough to prevent Spock Eye.
"Plus, the glabellar injections (the vertical lines between the eyebrows) use an older technique that pushes the brow down and makes him look more menacing than usual. He also has lid ptosis bilaterally."
