Many leaders have turned to cosmetic surgery. In 2003, Italian premier Silvio Berlusconi, 74, appeared to have had extensive work, but conceded only that his eyelids had been ‘retouched slightly’. A year later he had a hair transplant.

And in March 2011, a surgeon admitted using fat injections to plump out Colonel Gaddafi’s face in the Libyan dictator’s bunker in 1995.
