I'm reading the "fact checkers" right now https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/earlobes-biden-body-double/ They say it's false, based on "possibility", and "rumors". That's for the "fact check"... ... Considering the feature image on this report showing the president-elect on Dec. 14, 2020, after states certified voter tallies affirming his presidential win over Trump, as well as other photographic evidence in 2020, we can say definitively: Biden’s right earlobe looked noticeably different during and after his 2020 presidential campaign compared to eras prior. But that fact aside, alleging that the apparent change in Biden’s appearance revealed a secret “body double” scheme erroneously eliminates other, and potentially more likely, explanations for the change. In other words, advocating the Biden body double theory required ignoring the simple fact that Biden was aging like every other human (and, therefore, his appearance was changing), **and the possibility that he had a medical issue that required facial surgery**, or that he sought a face-lift for cosmetic reasons, altering at least one of his earlobes. According to Mayo Clinic: “In general, a face-lift involves elevating the skin and tightening the underlying tissues and muscles. Fat in the face and neck may be sculpted, removed or redistributed. Facial skin is then re-draped over the newly repositioned contours of the face, excess skin is removed, and the wound is stitched or taped closed.” Considering that process, scars or other physical changes to patients’ ears are signs of face-lifts, according to Dr. Anthony Youn, a Michigan plastic surgeon, according to CBSNews. While Biden himself has, to date, not commented on if or to what extent he underwent facial cosmetic surgery, **rumors** that he had had surgery appeared in news reports, including an Oct. 27, 2019, New York magazine profile that read: There, just behind the ear, is where you can **supposedly** observe the scar from a face-lift, one of many cosmetic procedures Biden is **rumored** to have had. The dramatic change to Biden’s appearance is a matter of preoccupation for Biden-watchers. In the timeline of images from throughout his career, you can observe as he grows older and then younger and then older but somehow more elegant and alert.
