Meet the Kardashians' plastic surgeons responsible for Kris Jenner's new face and Kylie's 'teardrop' breasts
Kylie Jenner recently shared details of her breast augmentation, including her surgeon. Kris Jenner also confirmed her plastic surgeon, speculated to be the one behind her facelift. Dr. Garth Fisher and Dr. Steven Levine are their plastic surgeons with cutting-edge techniques. While most celebrities stay tight-lipped about their plastic surgeons, Kylie Jenner surprised fans by doing the opposite: listing exactly what she got done, down to her implant size and plastic surgeon. It all started when TikToker Rachel Leary posted a video asking Kylie to share details of her surgery. "Please, can you just tell me/us/anyone that's interested, what it is you asked for when you had your boobs done?" Leary said. "It's the most perfect, natural-looking boob job ever." About a day later, Jenner, 27, responded. "445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!!!! silicone!!! garth fisher!!! hope this helps lol," Jenner wrote in a comment. The Kardashians and Jenners are no strangers to plastic surgery, or to public speculation about what they got done. But between Kylie Jenner's TikTok comment and Kris Jenner recently confirming her plastic surgeon, the family is becoming a little more open about the men behind the facelifts. Dr. Garth Fisher, Kylie's surgeon, is known for 'teardrop' breasts Dr. Garth Fisher, a board-certified Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, has been the go-to plastic surgeon of half the KarJenners for years. He's been practicing for over 20 years. Known for his breast augmentation technique (which favors a more natural-looking teardrop shape over a circular look), he performed the surgery for both Kylie Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian. Fisher is popular for his trademarked "pinnacle facelift," a more customized and minimally invasive facelift that avoids skin looking too pulled-back or pinched. Prior to her viral facelift, Kris Jenner got a pinnacle facelift from Fisher. He also revised a facelift for Caitlyn Jenner prior to her transition, which was shown in an episode of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians." Fisher has appeared on "ABC's Extreme Makeover" and has been ranked as one of America's top doctors by Castle Connolly, a healthcare research company. Dr. Steven Levine was behind Kris Jenner's viral facelift View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kylie Cosmetics (@kyliecosmetics) Kris Jenner, 69, is a client of Dr. Steven M. Levine, a New York-based board-certified plastic surgeon who does everything from eyelid lifts to breast implants. He opened his private practice in 2019; a year later, during the pandemic, he was so in demand that some clients offered to pay double or let him stay in their Hamptons home for a month, according to PEOPLE. While Jenner has been less open than her daughter about the exact procedures she's undergone, some speculate that she had a deep-plane facelift, where a layer of connective tissue between the skin and facial muscles is lifted to provide a more drastic, longer-lasting outcome. While it's unknown how much Jenner paid, Levine told PEOPLE back in 2020 that his facial work starts at $45,000. Levine has been ranked as one of the top doctors in the NYC area. New York Magazine also named him one of the top doctors for several years in a row. The Kardashians have had mixed plastic surgery experiences The Kardashians haven't always raved about their surgeons' work. Some regret past plastic surgery. In a 2023 episode of " The Kardashians," Kylie Jenner said she regretted getting a boob job when she was 19, months before her daughter Stormi was born. She thought she looked "perfect" before and wished she "never got them done to begin with." The KarJenners being more forthcoming about their plastic surgery could be a sign that they're happier with the results. Or, as The Cut speculated, they could be launching a plastic surgery-related venture. "Dr. Levine works hard, but Kris Jenner works harder," Carol Lee, a beauty writer, wrote. "If you know anything about the Kardashians, it's that everything they do is strategic — nothing is an accident."

USWNT honors former captain Becky Sauerbrunn with bobbleheads, fireworks and a dominant win
ST. LOUIS, Mo.—Former U.S. women's national team defender Becky Sauerbrunn got a hometown hero's welcome on Tuesday at Energizer Park ahead of, during and after the U.S. defeated Jamaica 4-0 to close out a successful international window. Having retired from professional soccer last December after a 16-year career, the former captain returned not only as part of TNT's broadcast crew covering the USWNT's friendly, but also to receive a proper sendoff. Advertisement 'I'm not used to having a lot of spotlight on me for something like this, but it's really about celebrating the people who got you here,' Sauerbrunn told reporters Monday. For someone who's never been entirely comfortable in the spotlight, Tuesday night must've been overwhelming — in a good way. Sauerbrunn was born in St. Louis, Mo., and developed her game there as a budding talent until she left for the University of Virginia in 2003. Her hometown sent her off in style with a celebration that included fireworks, a very realistic bobblehead, a standing ovation and a birthday cake (she turns 40 years old on June 6) fit for a legend. 'You know you've made it when you've got a bobblehead,' U.S. head coach Emma Hayes told reporters in her pre-match press conference. A post shared by The Athletic Full Time (@tafulltime) A commanding presence at center back, Sauerbrunn earned 219 appearances with the U.S., anchoring the team's backline to two FIFA Women's World Cup titles and a 2012 Olympic gold medal. It's quite a legacy for someone who never sought the spotlight. And it's one the current USWNT squad deeply respects and hopes to carry forward. As the team bid farewell to Sauerbrunn off the field, the next generation made sure she had no reason to worry about the future on it. Hayes's squad delivered a dominant 4-0 win over Jamaica, applying relentless pressure for 90 minutes with 82 percent possession and allowing only two shots from the opposition. Though the accomplished defender never got her goal for the U.S., Sauerbrunn came very close two years ago at the same stadium that bid her goodbye. On Tuesday, it was rookie Ally Sentnor who scored twice in the first half and Sauerbrunn's close friend Lynn Biyendolo who added two more as soon as she came on after the break. Meanwhile, the backline, Saurebrunn's old territory, was anchored by captain Naomi Girma, a fitting torchbearer for the legacy left behind. Advertisement 'I know I just said nobody can (fill Becky's shoes), but I think the next obvious person would be Naomi,' Biyendolo said. 'The two things that they have in common are that they didn't want the role, but it just found them. And I think that makes the best leaders, is somebody who just doesn't want it, but it's so natural at it.' Girma, the most expensive transfer in women's soccer history, had a rocky start at Chelsea after joining in January, sidelined by a string of injuries. However, she is back and delivering. With both a Women's Super League title and an FA Cup under her belt, she is proving to be worth every penny. As Hayes put it, bringing her back 'is like getting the Rolls-Royce out of the garage.' Girma told that she thinks 'Becky was one of the best leaders this team has ever had.' That kind of legacy doesn't happen overnight. Listening to her former teammates after the match, it was clear: the trust and respect Sauerbrunn commands were built over years of grit, consistency, and quiet leadership, beginning with her debut in 2008, when she earned her first cap against Canada at the Four Nations Tournament in China, playing through the match with a broken nose. 'Becky is a legend, an icon,' Kerry Abello, who made her debut for the U.S. on Tuesday, said after the match. 'The game of women's soccer will never be the same without her.' Abello was only nine years old when Sauerbrunn debuted in 2008. Like many new generation of USWNT players, she grew up looking up to her. On the pitch, Sauerbrunn was a tireless, dependable center back; off it, she was a steady leader who played a key role in collective bargaining negotiations with the U.S. Soccer, representing her teammates at the table year after year, and helping the team achieve equal pay. She was always calm and composed, even when one of her teammates messed up. 'Becky doesn't get mad often, but if you mess up, like pass to the wrong player… she'll give you this look,' Biyendolo said after the match. 'That 'I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed' look. That's the Becky look.' A post shared by U.S. Soccer WNT (@uswnt) Ask anyone who played alongside Sauerbrunn about the 'Becky stare,' and they'll know exactly what you're talking about. Hayes didn't get the chance to coach Sauerbrunn—she took over the U.S. team in May 2024— but her admiration also runs deep, especially for how the defender has shaped the next generation. Advertisement 'It's always nice when the people you leave behind talk about someone in such a way,' Hayes said. 'I can say this without hesitation, I've got a locker room not just the senior players, but less experienced players that talk about her in the highest esteem, both as a leader and as a human being, and I don't think you could want anything more than that in life.'
