How Kris Jenner looks younger than ever as she approaches 70 - thanks to 'face lift maestro'
Money may not buy happiness but, if Kris Jenner 's new and improved visage is anything to go by, it can certainly buy you the best facelift on the market. Earlier this month, the world's most famous momager sparked speculation she'd gone under the knife again as Kris, 69, looked strikingly youthful in new photos posted online. Her appearance in snaps shared by hairstylist Chris Stapleton was so dramatically altered that fans mistook Kris for her second-oldest daughter, Kim Kardashian, who is 25 years her junior. Kris, who has always been open about undergoing tweakments, later confirmed she had sought the expertise of Dr Steven M Levine - a surgeon dubbed the 'facelift maestro' - to achieve her most dramatic transformation to date. While the exact procedure Kris opted for remains unknown, plastic surgeons told MailOnline that her new age-defying look was likely the result of a 'surgical facelift or mini-lift' as well as a combination of other aesthetic treatments including Botox and fillers. They highlighted a new tightness around her face, jawline, and neck, fuller lips, a smoothened forehead devoid of wrinkles and fine lines that, collectively, made Kris look at least three decades younger than her actual age. Considering Dr Levine's price list, it's likely Kris spent north of $100,000 (approximately £75,000) to overhaul her look, as the mother-of-six gears up to celebrate her 70th birthday later this year. Kris catapulted to fame as the dogged manager of her brood - comprising daughters, Kourtney, Kim, and Khloe, as well as Kendall and Kyle, and son, Robert - on the long-running reality series Keeping Up With The Kardashians. In the 50 years since, Kris has allegedly frequently gone under the knife - with the world's most famous 'momager' showing off her most dramatic transformation to date earlier this month When the series premiered, Kris - whose first marriage to renowned lawyer Robert Kardashian ended in divorce in 1991 - was married to retired Olympian Caityln Jenner. As the family's fame and fortune has continued to grow, Kris has emerged a celebrity in her own right - posing for magazine covers and gracing red carpets around the world - while dating artist manager Corey Gamble. Kris split from Caitlyn in 2013 and started seeing the 44-year-old talent manager after they met at a mutual friend's birthday party in Ibiza the following year. It comes after a doctor who specialises aesthetic procedures estimated Kris - with a net worth of $200,000 - has already forked out upwards of $400,000 on modifying her appearance over the years. New York-based Dr Gary Linkov examined Kris' changing face over the years while breaking down the cost of various surgical procedures she may have undergone in a video - beginning as early as the 80s - posted on YouTube last year. 1982 Dr Linkov, who has a practice in Manhattan, compared photos of Kris taken a decade apart as he analysed how her face changed between 1973 and 1982. At the age of 27, while Kris was married to her first husband Robert Kardashian, she showed 'signs of a potential rhinoplasty', the surgeon said, noting the nose 'looks more narrow'. Kris would later reveal she got her first breast augmentation in the 80s. 1983 - 1995 There were no major changes to Kris' face for close to 20 years, as per the surgeon. He added that Kris's face appeared fuller in 1995 while pointing out that could be due to her pregnancy. Kris, then 40, was expecting her first child with retired Olympic gold medallist Caitlyn Jenner as the former couple welcomed Kendall on November 3, 1995. 2001 By 2001, Kris began showing the first signs of Botox to the forehead, glabella - or the area between the eyebrows - and crow's feet, according to Dr Linkov, He pointed out the 'lines around her eyes are completely gone' while comparing photos of Kris taken in 1999 and 2001, at the age of 46. He also wondered whether Kris had undergone a brow lift, explaining she had more 'supratarsal show' or 'the platform where a lot of makeup is applied to the area over the eye'. 2006 - 2008 Kris, who turned 51 in 2006, may have started using cheek fillers as Dr Linkov noticed 'a fuller connection between the actual cheek complex and the nasal side wall'. Referring to snaps of the momage taken in 2007, Dr Linkov added: 'I'm seeing the continued use of cheek filler and possibly also under eye filler.' At the age of 53, Kris may have started using lip fillers as her upper lip began to look more plump and fuller by 2008. 2011 Kris underwent her first - and so far only confirmed - facelift in 2011, when she documented her experience as part of the family's long-running reality series Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Kris was 55-years-old at the time, and going under the knife a month prior her daughter Kim's wedding to NBA star Kris Humprhies. Signs of the surgery were that Kris' 'neckline looked improved' and there was 'less bunching under the chin' Pretty in pink! The business mogul's appearance has been the subject of much scrutiny since the family's reality TV series Keeping UP With The Kardashians first premiered in 2007 Video footage of Kris before and after surgery was published on the E! website. It shows Kris in tears as she sits in the waiting room surrounded by her children. 'I don't want to die,' the nervous star said. After she recovered from the operation, Kim assured her the results were already positive. 'Mom, you look fab,' she said. 'So gorgeous.' The Kardashian family's go-to plastic surgeon, Dr Garth Fisher performed the 'pinnacle facelift' so Kris could look her best for Kim and Humphries's nuptials. In a post on the American surgeon's website, he claimed: 'She loved her more youthful, rejuvenated looks.' Signs of the surgery, according to Dr Linkov, were that Kris' 'neckline looked improved' and 'less bunching under the chin'. He suggested Kris might have also had cheek implants around the same time, considering 'there's more separation between the upper and lower cheeks on both sides' of her face. 2016 - 2021 Some of the most prominent differences to Kris' faces between 2016 and 2021 included thicker eyebrows that Dr Linkov attributed to makeup and 'microblading' that consists of tattooing fine lines to resemble hair - giving the illusion of fullness. In 2018, her earlobe surgery was also featured on Keeping Up With The Kardashians - as Kris admitted feeling insecure about them after Kim 'made a comment' about her ears. During a consultation with Beverly Hills' plastic surgeon Dr Jason B Diamond, Kris was told the 30-minute procedure 'looks good in three days' - implying a short recovery time. He added: 'That alone will take five, 10 years off of you.' In 2021, at the age of 66, Dr Linkov said Kris may have undergone a 'cheek implant revision' that is performed to correct or alter the results of a prior cheek implant surgery. 2023 By 2023, Kris was already looking younger than ever as it appeared she had opted for a 'potential facelift revision' - with Dr Linkov noting a 'narrower jawline' as her tightened appearance became more and more prominent in comparison photos taken in March, July and then November of the same year. 2025 Ahead of her 70th birthday in November, it appears Kris has treated herself to the pricey gift of youth - with the Kardashian matriarch recruiting Dr Levine to perform what appears to be a series of tweakments. While the exact procedure Kris underwent remains unclear, Dr Levine specialises in 'natural-looking enhancements of the face, breasts, and body' as per his website. It was noted that Dr. Levine's 'subtle improvements grace some of the most famous faces and figures in the world' in a 2020 interview with People magazine. A list that now includes Kris, whose fans couldn't believe how much Kris looked like Kim after she debuted her new look earlier this month. The Kardashian star was in Paris to support Kim as she testified in the trial over the 2016 armed robbery during her stay in the French capital. Fans demanded to know who her surgeon was after Kris' hairstylist Chris Stapleton shared a 'Kris Jenner appreciation post' on his Instagram account that included a series of photos of the reality star. Kris channelled her famous daughter as she modelled a black velvet Collette style dress or top with a lace collar in one snap - with her signature black bob styled in some sort of updo. In another she is wearing a menswear inspired suit with her hair combed in a straight bob. She tried a curly styled wearing a gray frock, perhaps for court. The most striking feature, of course, remains Kris' chiselled face, as she steps into what will likely be her most glamorous decade yet.

Beyond The Needle: The New Age of Aesthetic Treatments
The aesthetic landscape is changing. Gone are the days when filler was the default go-to as now more of us are dissolving overfilled faces in favour of smarter, more sophisticated treatments that deliver long-term rejuvenation In recent months, I've noticed fewer people are coming in specifically for dermal filler,' says Dr. Mehri Pourkand, Aesthetic Doctor and Founder of Dr Mehri Aesthetic Clinic. 'Patients are increasingly opting for the latest advanced devices and skin boosters that not only deliver great, almost instant results, but also work beneath the surface to genuinely improve skin quality over time. It's no longer just about filling lines or adding volume; people want treatments that enhance their natural features, boost collagen, and slow the signs of ageing in a more subtle, sustainable way.' Dr. Hassan Galadari, Dermatologist at Galadari Clinic, confirms the shift. 'More and more people are choosing to dissolve their filler in favour of a softer, more 'undone done' look – where enhancements are subtle, natural, and you can't quite tell what's been done. That's why technologies like Morpheus8 and regenerative treatments like polynucleotides and exosomes are booming right now. They don't just change the shape of the face; they actually work to strengthen, smooth and rejuvenate the skin itself, helping people to age better rather than just chase quick fixes.' The new wave? Cutting-edge technologies that stimulate the skin's natural healing processes, reverse damage, and delay ageing. These are the treatments that actually work – no quick fixes, just real, lasting results. EXOSOMES THE WHAT: Exosomes are tiny extracellular vesicles (aka bubbles) derived from stem cells, packed with growth factors, proteins, and lipids that communicate with your skin cells to accelerate repair and regeneration. Think of them as microscopic messengers instructing your skin to heal itself faster, smarter, better. They can be sourced from humans, plants, or animals, or they can be lab engineered. THE HOW: After microneedling or laser treatment (to create micro-channels for deeper absorption), a serum containing exosomes is applied topically or infused into the skin. The procedure is minimally invasive, with little to no downtime – just slight redness that fades within hours. THE WHY: Exosomes reprogramme your skin. They reduce inflammation, boost collagen and elastin production, and improve texture, tone, and elasticity for a fresher, more youthful complexion that improves in the weeks following treatment. They're suitable for all skin types, and – instead of irritating your skin – they help strengthen it, improve hydration, and calm things down. THE WHERE: For cutting-edge exosome therapy, AEON Clinic stands apart with medical-grade formulations and bespoke treatment plans designed by longevity specialists. Their integrative approach – combining exosomes with regenerative therapies – delivers unparalleled rejuvenation, all in the chicest of spaces. MORPHEUS8 THE WHAT: A hybrid of microneedling and radiofrequency (RF), Morpheus8 remodels the skin from the inside out by delivering RF energy deep into the dermis and subdermal layers. It's the gold standard for skin tightening, scar revision, and overall facial contouring. THE HOW: Tiny needles puncture the skin while simultaneously delivering RF heat, triggering a wound-healing response that stimulates collagen and elastin. The treatment can be adjusted for depth and intensity, making it customisable for concerns ranging from fine lines to deep acne scars. A numbing cream is applied beforehand, and while it's not painless, the discomfort is brief – followed by a few days of redness and mild swelling. THE WHY: Morpheus8 restores your skin's natural architecture. It tightens laxity, smooths texture, shrinks pores, and even improves stubborn body concerns (think crepey décolletage or post-pregnancy laxity). Results build over three to six months, with effects lasting years, not months. THE WHERE: For the ultimate Morpheus8 treatment, Orskin's team – trained across three continents – delivers those 'have you just come back from holiday?' results through their expertly tailored sessions. POLYNUCLEOTIDES THE WHAT: Polynucleotides (PNs) are the building blocks of DNA, derived from natural sources like salmon. Yes, this is where the salmon seed facial comes from. When injected into the skin, they act as bio-stimulators, enhancing cellular repair and hydration at a fundamental level. THE HOW: Delivered via microneedling or injections, PNs integrate into the skin's extracellular matrix, promoting tissue regeneration. The treatment is quick (around 30 minutes), with minimal downtime – some temporary redness or slight swelling or bumps at most. A course of three sessions, spaced two to four weeks apart, is typically recommended for optimal results. THE WHY: Polynucleotides increase fibroblast activity (hello, collagen), improve skin density, and enhance moisture retention for a dewier, more resilient complexion. They're particularly great for those with thinning, ageing skin or anyone looking to undo sun damage without heavy lasers or filler. BBL THE WHAT: BBL (broadband light) is an advanced form of IPL (intense pulsed light) that uses precise wavelengths to target pigmentation, redness, and signs of ageing. But unlike old-school IPL, modern BBL is smarter, more powerful, and capable of actually reversing the genetic markers of ageing. THE HOW: A handheld device delivers pulses of light that break down melanin (for dark spots) or hemoglobin (for redness) while heating the deeper dermis to stimulate collagen. The treatment feels like quick rubber-band snaps and requires no downtime – just strict sun avoidance afterwards. Most see results after one session, but a series of 3-5 maximizes benefits. THE WHY: Studies show BBL can alter gene expression associated with ageing, effectively turning back time. It erases sun damage, evens tone, reduces fine lines, stimulates collagen production, and leaves skin glowing. The ultimate preventative treatment for those who want to age gracefully, without looking like they've had work done. LED THERAPY THE WHAT: LED (light-emitting diode) therapy uses different wavelengths of light to trigger specific skin responses – red for collagen stimulation, blue for acne bacteria, yellow for redness and rosacea, green for sensitivity and pigmentation, and near infrared for deep repair. Once a niche treatment, it's now a must for anyone serious about maintaining their skin long-term. THE HOW: Non-invasive and painless, LED involves sitting under a panel of lights for 10 to 30 minutes. No downtime, no discomfort – just a relaxing, sci-fi-esque experience. Best used as a course (two to three times a week initially, then monthly for maintenance) or paired with other treatments (like microneedling) to enhance results. THE WHY: LED is the ultimate supporting player in any skin regimen. It's the perfect treatment for those who want to prolong their results, without a needle in sight.
