Dr. Terry Dubrow is giving his expert opinion on Donald Trumpinjured ear — talking about what kind of surgery he might need… which might be uglier than many thought.
We spoke to the “Botched” star on Tuesday – who is also a plastic surgeon – and he told us that depending on the amount of tissue that was torn out by the high-velocity bullet impact after the assassination attempt … Trump may need “missing parts” surgery.
He tells us that such reconstructive surgery is complex… and considering the ear’s poor blood supply, the chances of infection are quite high. He also explains where doctors can take tissue from Trump’s body to potentially sew into his ear… and it’s quite complicated!

TD says if DT goes under the knife, he could be in the hospital for a while… noting that infection is likely and that Trump’s healing process could be long and complicated, full of medications.
Obviously, this would not be good timing, as Trump is campaigning hard for the 2024 presidential race against Joe Biden …and the timing is on his side. In fact, Terry notes, he’s not sure Trump actually needs surgery…but if he does, it could be a little tricky.

Also worth noting… Trump’s doctor recently said he thinks the ear will heal very well by itself — but if you listen to Dr. Dubrow here… it doesn’t sound like he’s sure about that.
In any case, Dubrow has one piece of advice for Trump… choose your surgeon wisely! Of course, he added that if needed, he’d be available for the job — considering reconstructive surgery is his specialty. So, yes, if DT is looking for a good doctor for the job… Terry is volunteering.
TD emphasizes how lucky Donald is to be alive — especially since the bullet could have gone right through him if he hadn’t bowed his head. Fortunately, it’s only his ear that’s hurt.
But it doesn’t have to be… TD makes that clear. Are we going for anesthesia?!?
