"I'll Fix the Mole on Your Nose"… Denmark's 48-Year-Old Female PM Says "I'm Satisfied With My Body"

"I will correct the small mole on your nose."

This is a message recently received on social media by Mette Frederiksen (48), the Prime Minister of Denmark, from a plastic surgeon.

AP reported that the veteran European female prime minister, who recently secured a third consecutive term, expressed displeasure, stating that such unsolicited appearance advice has been pouring in for her through social media.

In a post on Instagram on the 24th (local time), Prime Minister Frederiksen stated that right after returning home from attending an event in Ukraine, which has been fighting against Russian invasion for five years, she received a message saying, "I will get rid of the small mole on your nose," adding, "I have lost count of the messages I've received about my appearance over the past few years."

She confessed, "There have been remarks that my teeth are ugly, my hair is thin, and I have an ugly 'wart' on my nose, along with well-intentioned advice to get Botox."

Prime Minister Frederiksen also posted on Instagram her reply to the plastic surgeon who offered to remove the mole on her nose: "No, thank you. I am satisfied with my body, and I really do not need a male plastic surgeon giving opinions on it."

Emphasizing that she does not interfere with the appearance of others, she also said, "As a woman on the verge of turning 50, I am very satisfied with my body just the way it is."

She added, "If you are going to send me a message (which is always welcome), please spend your time talking about something more meaningful rather than my nose."

Prime Minister Frederiksen concluded her post by noting that unsolicited beauty-related advice or suggestions make her feel "indignation," and sending special encouragement to everyone who endures the "perfect imperfections" that we all live with every day.

As Denmark's second female prime minister in history, Frederiksen leads the center-left Social Democratic Party and has served as Denmark's prime minister since mid-2019.

Leaving a deep impression earlier this year by firmly standing up against U.S. President Donald Trump's overt annexation ambitions regarding Greenland, a Danish autonomous territory, she extended her rule in the general election held this spring, cementing her position as one of Europe's most experienced leaders.
