Laura Loomer Gets Nose Job — From Far Right’s Favorite Plastic Surgeon

Laura Loomer, an ascendant Jewish figure of the far right, is reportedly getting a nose job next month — and her surgeon says he’s hoping to become the go-to face-lift doc for the so-called “alt-right.”

“I am so excited for my nose job!!” she wrote on Instragram. “How could anyone say no to this? It’s life changing.”

Loomer already had surgery on her lips — and posted a video of herself in the doctor’s chair.

Loomer’s doctor is Joseph Pober, a Manhattan surgeon who has sought to rebrand himself as a surgeon of choice for Trump supporters and members of the far right by dubbing himself “Dr. Redpill,” a play on a popular meme.

“I think having a beautiful nose for whatever reason is a fantastic thing,” Pober told BuzzFeed in a recent profile.
