Meet the women who are having plastic surgery to look like Ivanka Trump
In addition to his business acumen, Donald Trump made a reputation for himself as being something of a connoisseur of beautiful women — and tops for him is his own daughter, Ivanka. "I've said that if Ivanka weren't my daughter, perhaps I would be dating her," Trump told ABC back in 2006.
A lot of women agree with Trump's opinion — in fact, more than one has gone under the knife in an attempt to look like the eldest Trump daughter. Tiffany Taylor, 33, was fortuitously born with a name right out of the Trump family, but it's taken her multiple plastic surgeries to look like Ivanka.
"This is not the first patient who's come in with a picture of Ivanka Trump. She's very beautiful," Taylor's surgeon, Dr. Franklin Rose, told ABC.

Still, it might raise some people's eyebrows. "When someone says, 'You've got to be nuts to change your appearance to look like Ivanka Trump,' what's your response?" ABC's interviewer asked Taylor with real conviction.
"Why don't you go try it?" Taylor replied. "Because you're going to be so happy. You know, don't judge until you try it."
While this might not be something you're feeling compelled to put to the test, you can hear Taylor and another Ivanka wannabe put it in their own words below. Jeva Lange
