Kris Jenner and why everyone's asking about deep plane facelifts
Kris Jenner and why everyone's asking about deep plane facelifts Show Caption Hide Caption Met Gala: Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner and Kendall Jenner arrive Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner and Kendall Jenner arrive at the Met Gala red carpet. Kris Jenner, Lindsay Lohan and Christina Aguilera – what's in the Hollywood water that seems to be aging these celebrities backwards? The internet is convinced (without proof) it's a procedure called the deep plane facelift, though Lohan, for her part, insisted her look is courtesy of green juice, ice water and becoming a mom. Generally speaking, celebs' plastic surgeries are much more talked about these days, explains Dr. Daniel Knott, director of facial cosmetic and reconstructive surgery at UCSF Health. The identity of Jenner's surgeon was revealed by both Page Six and People after the internet erupted over her latest look. And more transparency among stars is impacting how real people talk about cosmetic procedures. 'People are more forthright about things like this. Before, they were done in a more secretive sense,' he says. 'There's less shame and more openness about these things.' As transparency trends, however, some will still remain coy. So, what is the deep plane facelift? Here's everything you should know about the buzzy procedure. What is a deep plane facelift surgery? A deep plane facelift is a facial surgery where the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, or SMAS, is lifted to achieve a more youthful look, Knott says. The SMAS is a layer of connective tissue that sits underneath the skin and on top of the facial muscles. 'The plane you operate in is deeper, the skin is thicker and it holds the tension better,' Knott says. 'It's also a much longer-lasting outcome and the scarring is as good as possible because it doesn't widen or thicken.' The recovery time ranges from seven to 14 days, and the results can last 15 years or longer, he says. The price can vary widely depending on the location, surgeon and if other procedures are needed, sometimes between $25,000 and $100,000. 'Benjamin Buttoning': Christina Aguilera and 'undetectable' plastic surgery How does it differ from traditional facelifts? Traditional facelifts typically only lift the skin, are less complicated and the results don't last as long compared to deep plane facelifts, Knott says. Deep plane facelifts are also more likely to maintain blood supply to the skin since it's still attached to the SMAS, he says. Although it's a deeper surgery, the operation and recovery time don't differ drastically from traditional facelifts. The cosmetic procedure has been around for about 35 years but not every surgeon performs them because they're more complicated and require close work on important facial muscles and nerves, Knott explains. The deep plane is also technically two operations – one for each side of the face – which means a surgeon's work must be symmetrical. 'It requires confidence to stitch and know where the muscles and nerves are,' he says. 'It takes a surgeon who has sufficient experience.' What surgeons want patients to know Knott urges patients to research their surgeon before trusting them with a deep plane facelift. 'Don't just trust the social media and webpage,' he says. 'Look into the surgeon's history.' If done suboptimally, deep plane facelifts can lead to complications such as muscle or nerve damage, infections, irregular hairlines, asymmetry and necrosis, among others. 'Choose your surgeon carefully,' Knott says. 'Make sure they're well-trained, board-certified and have a long history of well-established, good results.'

Hampshire Women beat Warwickshire at Arundel
CHARLI Knott continued her fine form with a third half-century in four Metro Bank One-Day Cup innings, scoring a classy 82 as Hampshire defeated Warwickshire at Arundel. Georgia Adams added 68 to help chase down Warwickshire's 243, keeping Hampshire top of the table heading into the T20 Blast break. Warwickshire, batting first just a day after nine players featured in a T20 victory in Devon, struggled early on a slow pitch. They slumped to 38 for four and then 93 for six. Bex Tyson, stepping in as lead spinner with Linsey Smith on England duty, struck with her first ball to remove Meg Austin. Freya Davies removed Sterre Kalis and Davina Perrin in consecutive overs, while Mary Taylor bowled Katie George in her first over. Wicketkeeper Rhianna Southby caught Bethan Ellis and Nat Wraith off Adams and Knott, continuing the collapse. However, Abbey Freeborn rescued the innings with a patient 94, her second fifty of the season, manipulating the field and finding regular boundaries. She added 97 with Charis Pavely (55), who reached her half-century in 70 balls. Georgia Davis then supported Freeborn with an unbroken 53-run stand, scoring 40 in the last three overs. Though Freeborn fell short of a century, their efforts lifted Warwickshire to a competitive 243 for seven. On her One-Day Cup debut, Hannah Rainey opened with a maiden. Hampshire's reply began brightly with Ella McCaughan and Maia Bouchier sharing seven boundaries, but both fell to Davis - Bouchier flicking to square-leg and McCaughan lbw. Knott and Adams steadied the chase with confident strokes and sharp timing. Knott hit eight boundaries in her 46-ball half-century and looked set until she top-edged a sweep off Davis, giving the spinner her third wicket. Southby chopped a pull onto her stumps, and Adams was trapped lbw by Hannah Baker. When Abi Norgrove sliced to point, Hampshire wobbled at 205 for six - still 38 runs short. The game echoed the reverse fixture at Edgbaston, where the teams tied. With eight needed off 16 balls and Nancy Harman bowled, a repeat seemed likely. But Taylor held her nerve, securing a three-wicket win with four balls to spare.

Montezooma Coaster Track Arrives at Knott's Berry Farm
By Brady MacDonald The Orange County Register The oft-delayed makeover of Montezooma's Revenge at Knott's Berry Farm has started showing signs of life again with the delivery of track that has stirred hope among ride enthusiasts who have waited three years for the historic roller coaster to reopen. Montezooma's Revenge has sat partially disassembled since 2022, when the Buena Park theme park announced plans to update the historic flywheel launch coaster with a new randomized launch sequence and rechristen the reimagined ride as Montezooma: The Forbidden Fortress. Existing track that had been cleaned and recoated locally was recently delivered to Knott's Berry Farm, according to Knott's officials. Eagle-eyed fans recently spotted Montezooma track pieces on the back of a flatbed big rig truck just outside Knott's Berry Farm on La Palma Avenue, according to an Instagram post. Knott's Berry Farm is still waiting for additional parts to be delivered for Montezooma: The Forbidden Fortress, according to Knott's officials. Related Stories 7/22/2014 5/7/2025 An opening date has not been set for the coaster. 'We look forward to sharing all of the details of the new ride soon,' Knott's Berry Farm Vice President and General Manager Jon Storbeck said in a statement. 'But please know, we are just as anxious as our fans to debut Montezooma: The Forbidden Fortress and complete the reimagined Fiesta Village.' The Montezooma makeover has been marked by fits and starts right from the beginning. Knott's Berry Farm closed Montezoom's Revenge in January 2022 with little notice or fanfare, only to be forced to reopen the ride the next day so fans could get one more ride on the classic coaster. At the time, the remade ride was expected to return in 2023. The updated Monty was supposed to be the centerpiece of the refreshed Fiesta Village, but the Knott's themed land returned in May 2023 without the star of the show. Construction delays were blamed for the ride remaining unready for the reopening of Fiesta Village. During the festivities, a construction wall stood at the entrance to the Montezooma coaster that was missing large segments of track including the signature loop. Montezooma's Revenge was built by Germany-based roller coaster manufacturer Anton Schwarzkopf based on plans developed by renowned coaster designer Werner Stengel. The 1978 Schwarzkopf flywheel-launch shuttle loop coaster has been designated a historic landmark as the last operating ride of its kind in the United States and the longest standing in its original location. The extensive renovation of Montezooma's Revenge at Knott's Berry Farm will introduce a backstory about doomed treasure hunters along with Aztec-themed trains, randomized launch sequences, and new rider restraints. A new coaster train for Montezooma: The Forbidden Fortress has been designed to look like a mythical creature made from stone with fang-like teeth, reptilian scales, spiked armor, and glowing red eyes. The redesigned Montezooma coaster train will depart from a rethemed station that has been reimagined as an architectural cousin of the Mayan stone temple housing the Jaguar coaster next door. Montezooma riders will pass through a fanged mouth-like portal with smoke and lighting effects, according to a new teaser video. The first flywheel-launched roller coaster in the world will offer riders a new twist as Montezooma: The Forbidden Fortress. The new version of the coaster is expected to rotate through three randomized multi-launch sequences with a fourth launch profile taking place on every 100th ride, according to Screamscape. 'Imagine the surprise in store for riders while they wait for the launch, not knowing if the coaster will launch forward or backwards at first,' according to Screamscape. 'Talk about adding a re-rideability factor.' A new station and queue experience will take riders through the exploration camp of Montezuma's hidden Aztec fortress filled with boobytraps and the remains of treasure hunters. The nearby Jaguar coaster next to Montezooma is set amid an archeological dig in a Mayan temple. The rides are already connected with Jaguar's track passing through Montezooma's loop. The theming of the reimagined Montezooma coaster will be separate from the Jaguar coaster and will tell the story of Montezuma's hidden treasure and those who have tried to find the Aztec emperor's riches over the years.
