A renowned plastic surgeon has cast doubt on Kris Jenner 's dramatic new look—accusing her of using AI tools to manipulate images and 'create unrealistic expectations… because these are not normal results'.
The Kardashians matriarch caused a meltdown when she appeared in Paris last month, accompany daughter Kim during court appearances, looking decades younger than her 69 years.
Social media commentators begged to know the name of her doctor—and even suggested Jenner had discovered 'the fountain of youth'.
Her representatives later confirmed she had enlisted celebrity plastic surgeon Dr Steven M Levine—also known as 'the facelift maestro'—to achieve her new look.
However in an Instagram post that's been viewed more than 250,000 times since it was posted last night, Dr Gary Lawton suggested 'AI tools or morphing software' had been used to alter pictures and videos of the star.
The San Antonio-based surgeon said the pictures published worldwide showcasing her new look 'defy all surgical and anatomical realities'.
Dr Lawton, who gives practical advice and debunks beauty trends to his 548,000 followers on the platform added: 'There is no possible way that this is a surgical transformation'.
Jenner has neither confirmed or denied that she has undergone surgery recently, however it wouldn't be the first time the mother of six has gone under the knife.
In 2011, a visibly nervous Kris Jenner was filmed being wheeled in for a facelift on Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
She was 55 at the time and underwent the procedure just a month before Kim's wedding to basketball star Kris Humphries.
Jenner also previously admitted she had a breast augmentation, earlobe surgery, and has had 'Botox and fillers and lasers and things like that'.
Commenting to MailOnline on recent photographs of Jenner plastic surgeon Dr Lisa Friederich said she appeared to have had 'a combination of aesthetic treatments to maintain her youthful and lifted appearance'.
She added: 'It's quite possible she's undergone a surgical facelift or mini-lift.
'The tightness around her face, jawline and neck would be challenging to achieve through non-invasive methods alone, particularly in someone over 60.
'Her cheeks also appear fuller and more contoured, likely due to dermal fillers used to restore mid-face volume and create a more sculpted look.'
However, now, offering a detailed analysis of recent photographs of the star Dr Lawton said the images were in fact 'suggestive of AI-generated or heavily digitised imagery.
'The problem is that people have seen her in person. If you look at the images, there is no possible way this is a surgical transformation.
'If you look at the jawline and chin, it's markedly narrower. The chin is more pointed and there is drastic reshaping of the mandible [jawbone].
'Severe slimming at the gonial angle [the corner of the lower jawbone] would necessitate bony recontouring, with extensive soft tissue repositioning—where is there no surgical evidence.
'There's nothing left over to show.'
Jaw reduction, also known as V-line surgery involves removing portions of the jawbone to create a more defined shaped or pointed chin and narrower jawline.
Although incisions are typically made inside the mouth, avoiding the appearance of scarring, patients experience swelling after surgery that can take months to subside.
Dr Lawton continues: 'That kind of extensive restructuring, the precise symmetrical, idealised geometry suggests digital manipulation, AI-generated or heavily retouched images.
'If you look at the midface and cheek volume, the cheeks appear significantly elevated.
'They're fuller and unnuaturally projected, with exaggerated volume, suggesting deep structural augmentation and repositioning.
'Neither mid-facelifts or fillers can produce this kind of flawless surface, devoid of any subtle depressions or textural inconsistencies.'
The medic concludes: 'Cosmetic surgery can produce some dramatic results, but the perfection, the anatomic symmetry, the flawless, smooth skin [seen in Jenner's pictures] is just going to create more unrealistic expectations in patients, because these are not normal results.'
Dr Lawton's followers were divided in the comments. 'Thank you. Someone had to say it,' wrote one.
'It's hard to believe anything you see these days,' suggested another.
Jenner surgeon, Dr Steven M Levine, is also allegedly behind actress Lindsay Lohan's equally dramatic recent facial transformation.
Among the procedures the Mean Girls star has been speculated to have undergone include a nose job, and eye, face and neck lift, cheek fat removal, a brow lift, fillers, Botox and a chin augmentation.
Lohan, 38, has never admitting to having surgery, but has credited her newly flawless skin to her dermatologist in Dubai.
