美國前副總統拜登(Joe Biden)當地時間25日發布了一段3分鍾的視頻，宣布參加2020年美國總統大選。
這是現年76歲的拜登第三次宣布參選美國總統，他曾分別在1988年和2008年參加總統選舉，但在初選中失利。

就在拜登宣布參選後不久，美國的《華盛頓觀察家報》報道，這位總統大選熱門候選人自從2008年參加總統大選開始，容貌就有了顯著的變化。
整容醫生們都確信這位美國前副總統滿頭的銀發、平滑的額頭、咧嘴大笑時露出的整齊潔白的牙齒，都是整容和其他微整形的效果。
Around the time of the 2008 campaign, alterations in Biden’s appearance became noticeable. His hairline changed, wrinkles disappeared, his smile was brighter. “Without any question Joe Biden had hair transplants,” Dr. Barry Cohen, a plastic surgeon with offices in the Washington suburbs, told the Washington Examiner.
在2008年大選期間，拜登外貌上的變化變得非常引人注目，他的發跡線改變了，皺紋消失了，笑容更閃亮了。“毫無疑問，喬·拜登接受了植發，”Barry Cohen醫生，一位在華盛頓郊區開診所的整容醫生告訴《華盛頓觀察家報》。
Biden’s gleaming grin is such a distinctive feature that Trident Gum created JoeBidensTeeth.com in January 2009 as part of a promotion where the company gave away free gum. But since he became vice president, several dentists have speculated that Biden’s smile contains porcelain veneers, crowns, or bridges.
拜登閃亮的笑容是這麽顯眼的特點，以至於口香糖品牌Trident Gum還在2009年1月設立JoeBidensTeeth.com網站，作為該公司免費分發口香糖宣傳活動的組成部分。但自從他成為副總統後，多位牙醫推測拜登的牙齒做了瓷貼麵，牙冠或牙橋 。

當然，拜登從未公開承認接受過任何整形手術，也從未公開談論過他的外貌。
不過，從媒體抓拍的拜登各個時期的照片來看，他確實在不動聲色地讓自己顯得更加年輕。
@JoeBiden
Shows how shallow & pathetic you are-no amount of plastic surgery, dental work, hair plugs....will increase your IQ; still a fool!

Trump's rival Joe Biden, 76, has had massive amounts of cosmetic surgery to fill wrinkles, fix hairline and whiten teeth, plastic surgeons claim https://t.co/Gc7SgMYZMA

加利福尼亞比弗利山的整形醫生Lawrence M. Koplin告訴《華盛頓觀察家報》，拜登在失去他的兒子後經曆了一段慘淡的時光。拜登的兒子Beau Biden在2015年因腦癌去世了，去世時年僅46歲。
“And oftentimes we see rapid aging following these events. It is not a stretch to imagine his desire to reach back to ‘freshen’ his appearance and rewind to a time when things were better and happier.”
“在經曆這些事件後我們常常會加速衰老。不難想像他渴望‘刷新’他的外表，把時光倒回到更好更快樂的過去。”

據Daily Mail報道，2015年，美國記者愛德華·克萊因(Edward Klein)曾在他的《不討喜的——希拉裏的問題》一書中寫到，希拉裏·克林頓曾在家中設置了一個小型手術室，讓整形醫生用最先進的醫學儀器為她做整形手術。
The former secretary of state underwent secret plastic surgery before beginning her campaign for the 2016 presidency, Klein’s book claimed.
這位美國前國務卿在她2016年參加大選前秘密地進行了整形手術，克萊因在書中聲稱。
Clinton had her 'cheeks lifted and her wrinkles and lines Botoxed' and had 'work done' on her eyes, neck and forehead, according to Klein.
據克萊因說，克林頓提拉緊致了她的麵頰，給她的皺紋注射了肉毒杆菌，還對她的眼睛、脖子、額頭做了微整形。
The current president, Donald Trump, also appears to have had work done to alter his look, most noticeably with his hair.
現任美國總統唐納德·特朗普也明顯對他的容貌做了些工作，最顯著的就是他的頭發。
