In defense of Laura Loomer's plastic surgery choices, it's very easy to see plastic surgery that worked well on other people and think that it will translate from one face to another.

A great example of this is the skeleton look all the Hollywood girls had over the past year or so. It wasn't just Ozempic. It was Buccal Fat Removal. And it all started because Bella Hadid did it and she looked phenomenal after doing it. Whoever Bella Hadid paid did an incredible job, and Bella Hadid was already stunning, but between her obvious but very well done nose job (that looked tiny and slightly otherworldly) and the weird bony cheeks from the buccal fat removal, she ended up looking so bizarre and fascinating, and she became even more in demand. All the girls in Hollywood copied her, and it looked terrible on all of them because they had less symmetrical cheekbones and didn't have the face shape for it to work. Miley Cyrus, who is awesome and very cute, got buccal fat removal and it looked terrible because she never had symmetrical cheekbones and the facial length or depth for it to work. (She may have corrected it or her face settled; it looks better now.)

Laura Loomer just made some plastic surgery mistakes that would be easy for anyone to make. So I get why Laura Loomer got a nose job. Her nose before was slightly off. The problem is that slightly off noses often balance out face with slightly off bone structure, so if you just do a nice looking nose, but it doesn't match the other geometry, it looks off. Laura Loomer also looks like she got cheekbone implants and it's very easy to want those because a lot of beautiful people have huge prominent cheekbones. The problem is that if someone has some asymmetry in their face, large cheekbones may draw attention to it. Laura Loomer looked nice before the plastic surgery with some mild symmetry issues that were somewhat normal. The problem is the cheekbones and nose job didn't fit or blend or balance her face right. Her plastic surgeon should have told her not to do the cheek implants based on her orbital sockets and should have only done the rhinoplasty in a milder way. She looked fine before and this was not her fault; she got bad advice from her plastic surgeon.

It's also not her fault for not redoing all of this. Revision rhinoplasties and taking out cheekbones are much more complicated. A lot more can go wrong and many people, after having plastic surgery once and it not going well, are reluctant to get more work done and possibly mess things up even more. Revision surgeries are also notoriously expensive, much more expensive than the initial plastic surgery.

The point is, this isn't exactly her fault. She probably was slightly insecure, single at the time and frustrated about it, and decided to have plastic surgery, and saw a doctor who took advantage of her financially and didn't do a great job. That's the reality. This likely wasn't many plastic surgeries over many years. It was really just one thing (or possibly also lip injections later which so many people do), and the cheekbone implants are what messed it up. If she took those out she would likely look like herself again and she's probably concerned about the expense and real risks and pain of doing it. And major plastic surgery is painful. It's understandable for her to not want to change it and just decide "well it is how it is."

I disagree with many of Laura Loomer's beliefs, but making fun of someone for looking a certain way, or getting plastic surgery, also makes other people who look slightly different feel more self conscious. Asking is Laura Loomer a transgender person probably makes some trans people feel self conscious. What about criticizing politicians for their horrible beliefs and not how they look? What about taking the higher road?
