Denmark's Prime Minister Blasts Unsolicited Beauty Advice From Plastic Surgeon on Instagram

She said repeated comments about her appearance, including her nose and hair, have piled up over the years and called the message inappropriate.

  • On Monday, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen posted on Instagram that she received an unsolicited message from a plastic surgeon offering to fix 'that little spot on your nose' after returning from a trip to Ukraine.
  • Frederiksen wrote she has lost count of messages received over the years criticizing her appearance, especially about 'ugly teeth and thin hair' and 'an ugly wart on my nose,' with suggestions to get Botox.
  • The prime minister posted a screenshot of the surgeon's offer without identifying him, rejecting his opinion: 'I really dont need a male plastic surgeon to have an opinion about it.'
  • Feeling indignant, Frederiksen stressed 'I'm perfectly fine with my body as it is when youre a woman approaching 50' and urged followers to discuss 'something more meaningful' instead of unsolicited beauty tips.
  • A Social Democrat and Denmark's second female prime minister since mid-2019, Frederiksen leads the European Union and NATO member state with a firm stance supporting Ukraine against Russia while opposing President Donald Trump's ambitions for Greenland.
