Ever since Kris Jenner unveiled her new Facelift, the internet and social media have been awash with discussion and speculation about her procedure and the exceptional quality of the result. TikTok alone has seen over 105 million posts discussing her facial surgery, and there have been countless opinion pieces circulating in the media.

Bearing in mind the dramatic transformation, it is understandable that Kris Jenner’s face surgery has garnered this level of attention. There are many elements which make up a surgical result of this quality, and it is important to understand the precision and skill that go into surgery of this type.


What Face Surgery has Kris Jenner had?

At 69, Kris Jenner has had multiple surgical procedures, although none have attracted the attention of her most recent rejuvenation. As well as ongoing injectables, she has been open about undergoing a Breast Augmentation in the 1980s, her first Facelift in 2011 and Earlobe Reduction in 2018.

Interestingly, Kris Jenner hasn’t yet spoken openly about her most recent cosmetic surgery, very much letting the exquisite result speak for itself. However, it has been revealed that the procedure was carried out by Dr. Steven Levine, MD, an aesthetic and reconstructive surgeon based in New York.

The exact details of the procedure have not been released, although considerable speculation has arisen about what may have been involved. Looking at photos of Kris Jenner before and after her Facelift, it is likely that she has had a combination of procedures:

Comparing similar before and after images, Kris Jenner’s dramatic, but natural transformation is likely thanks to a Deep Plane Facelift combined with other procedures.

A Deep Plane Facelift is a surgical procedure which defines the facial contours, smooths lines and wrinkles, and tightens skin tone, resulting in a natural, youthful appearance.

Unlike other Facelift techniques, Deep Plane Facelift involves repositioning the underlying tissues in the face, called the Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System (SMAS) and releasing connecting ligaments, rather than just lifting and tightening the skin. This has several benefits:

  • Natural results: By manipulating the deeper layers of tissue, as well as the skin, the result is more natural, avoiding the stereotypical stretched appearance, often associated with some traditional Facelift techniques
  • Longevity: Lifting the SMAS and releasing the connecting ligaments allows for a more comprehensive procedure resulting in a longer lasting outcome than may be possible from some other Facelifts
  • Reduce scarring risk: As there is less trauma to the upper layers of the skin than other Facelift techniques, many patients find their scars are less visible

One of the distinctive features of Kris Jenner’s new face is the smooth and toned appearance of her neck. A Neck Lift was likely performed to complement and balance the rejuvenation of her face.

Similar to a Deep Plane Facelift, a Neck Lift can specifically target the deeper layers of tissue within the neck, thereby tightening and lifting the neck, and smoothing lines and wrinkles for an elegant and toned result. This also enhances the definition of the jawline, creating a seamless result.

A Deep Plane Neck Lift has the same benefits as a Deep Plane Facelift, with a natural, long-lasting result and reduced risk of scarring. These procedures are often combined to enhance the final result.

Neck Lift

It is noticeable that following her recent face surgery, Kris Jenner’s eyes look considerably more open and youthful. This has probably been achieved with an Upper Blepharoplasty, also known as Eyelid Reduction.

Often performed as a standalone procedure or combined with other facial surgeries, Upper Blepharoplasty involves removing excess skin and fat from around the upper eyelid, resulting in a toned eye area and an increased field of vision.

It is a straightforward procedure that, even on its own, can have a transformative effect on an individual’s appearance. When effectively combined with other meticulous facial procedures, it enhances and perfects the final outcome.

Blepharoplasty

To further refine the eye area, Kris Jenner’s face surgery may have included a Brow Lift to lift and tone the skin between the upper eye and the forehead.

A Brow Lift is often combined with Blepharoplasty or Facelift surgery to balance the eyes and ensure the brows are sitting at a flattering distance from the upper eyelid. Excess skin and fat are removed, resulting in a smooth brow contour.

The youthful nature of Kris Jenner’s Facelift result has been one of the most commented-on elements of her surgery, with many people saying she looks 30 years younger, or comparing her to her daughter, Kim. The increased volume in her cheeks, reduction of lines, and smooth skin tone have likely been achieved with Regenerative Fat Transfer.

Liposuction is used to remove excess fat from areas such as the abdomen, waist, thighs, back, and buttocks, which is then processed to remove impurities and extract the regenerative components of the fat. This processed fat is then injected into the face, increasing volume and, over time, regenerating the skin to rejuvenate and smooth it.

Utilising the body’s own fat reserves has several benefits:

  • Natural results: The fat is naturally compatible with the body’s tissues, meaning it has a softer, more natural appearance than can be associated with alternatives such as Dermal Fillers
  • Long-lasting: Once the fat has been injected, it grafts to the already existing fat in the face. This allows it to last for a longer time than non-surgical options, which typically dissolve in 12-18 months.
  • Continual improvement: The regenerative components in the processed fat continue to work within the skin, allowing you to see an improved result for up to 18 months after the procedure.

What Makes Kris Jenner’s Face Surgery Result Outstanding?

The overwhelmingly positive nature of the commentary on Kris Jenner’s Facelift has stood out, standing in stark contrast to the negative coverage cosmetic surgery often – we feel unfairly - receives in the media. Although it is undeniably an excellent result, it is always important to understand the elements that make any high-quality outcome superior:

  • Natural: Although the result of Kris Jenner’s surgery is dramatic, it has a remarkably natural appearance. Her skin isn’t overly tight or stretched, and she looks completely recognisable – if significantly younger.
  • Balanced: Some outmoded Facelift techniques are associated with the face looking out of balance and disproportionate. Kris Jenner’s features are all perfectly balanced and sit in the exact alignment she had previously, enhancing the refinement of the outcome.
  • Precise: Dr. Levine was clearly exceptionally careful in carrying out this procedure. The precision is evident in the symmetry of Kris Jenner’s face and the harmony across all of her facial features.
  • Considered: When planning any surgical procedure, the patient and surgeon must work collaboratively to discuss all possible options and make deliberate, considered choices to achieve the desired outcome. Kris Jenner’s result unmistakably shows that she worked closely with her surgeon to establish the best techniques to address her concerns with a bespoke approach.
  • Expertly performed: The precise and considered nature of Kris Jenner’s face surgery is testament to the expertise of the surgeon who carried it out. Finding an experienced and specialised facial surgeon is central to achieving the highest quality results.

When considering a dramatic Facelift procedure, it is crucial to consider not only what you want to address and achieve but also what sets a first-rate result apart from other surgical outcomes.

Witnessing surgical outcomes of the quality of Kris Jenner’s recent Facelift is always highly gratifying. It is pleasing to see cosmetic surgery results being shown as precise, artistic and empowering – three themes I have always been enthusiastic to bring further into the public’s awareness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Some media outlets and surgeons have suggested that the extent of Kris Jenner’s transformation may have made it a riskier, or even unsafe, procedure compared to other recent examples of celebrity Facelifts. The reasonable concern these stories may cause for some people must be balanced with a better understanding of the risks associated with facelift surgery and the best way to ensure your surgery is safe.

All surgical procedures carry certain risks, and it is essential to understand how they may affect your procedure before you decide to proceed. Although it isn’t possible to remove all risk factors from any surgery, there are steps you can take to ensure your surgery is as safe as possible:

  • Choose a reputable surgeon: It is crucial to thoroughly research a range of providers and understand their qualifications and experience. A trusted surgeon will be open about the risks of surgery and happy to discuss them in full.
  • Find an established clinic: Choose a clinic who are transparent about their safety data, has been accredited by a national regulator, such as the CQC and provides comprehensive surrounding care alongside your procedure
  • Understand your aftercare: Strictly following your surgeon’s aftercare instructions is crucial to ensure you recover fully and your desired results are achieved
  • Avoid travelling abroad: Although the reduced prices offered by clinics abroad can be appealing, the lack of guaranteed regulation and safety standards isn’t worth the risk. Cadogan Clinic has always advised against undergoing surgery outside of the UK
