A New York plastic surgeon named Dr Norman Rowe revealed that last summer, nearly 50 patients came into his office with pictures of Ivanka, asking how he could make them look like her, reports Page Six.
Procedures they were requesting included nose slimming, eye reshaping and cheekbone widening - we didn’t know that was a thing either.
Complex surgeries such as these can cost anything between $30,000 (£22,138) and $50,000 (£36,900).
Rowe revealed that Ivanka is quickly catching up with Kylie Jenner for the globe’s most sought-after famous face.
“Maybe they just like the look, but also that [Ivanka’s] a powerful woman, self-confident, part of the first family,” Rowe said.
“Do they want to be her? Yes, deep down, maybe,” he told Page Six.
Some are going to extreme cases to achieve the "Ivanka look".
Earlier this year, it transpired that one woman had 13 surgeries performed in under a year in a bid to resemble Ivanka, citing it as her dream to look like the reality star-turned-first daughter who she called her “role model.”
Tiffany Taylor went to see Dr Paul Nassif and Dr Terry Dubrow on Botched, the E! reality show featuring extreme surgical cases that have gone awry.
The young divorcee revealed that her nose job had been badly handled and wanted Nassif and Dubrow to fix it so that she could look even more like Ivanka.
“I was so pretty before, but I am just more elegant now,” she told the surgeons on the show.
Whether Ivanka is empowering women is up for dispute, but the first daughter is certainly inspiring them.
