Kris Jenner's facelift 'is a FAKE': Top plastic surgeon says transformation is AI trickery - 'It defies all surgical and anatomical realities'
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.

Kim Kardashian weighs in on 'momager' Kris Jenner's new look after fans say she looks younger than daughters
Kim Kardashian is weighing in on her mom Kris Jenner's dramatic new look. The 69-year-old matriarch is looking noticeably younger these days, although she has not fessed up to any recent cosmetic procedures. Her 44-year-old second-born child broke her silence on the matter, using social media to comment on the buzz after some fans admitted they think Kris now looks younger than her famous daughters. Kim shared a photo of longtime hairstylist Chris Appleton at Saturday's Netflix Tudum 2025: The Live Event, wearing a white shirt that read, 'I'll have what Kris Jenner is having.' Via Instagram Stories, she added the note, '@chrisappleton1 me too babe,' signaling her seal of approval. Jenner turned heads in May after unveiling her refreshed face while in Paris for Kim's armed robbery trial. Her rep later confirmed she enlisted the skills of celebrity plastic surgeon Dr. Steven M. Levine — dubbed the 'facelift maestro' — to achieve her rejuvenated look. A source also told that the mother-of-six is revamping her closet to match her changing appearance. 'Kris is no longer a size 10 so she has no need for those clothes. She is a size 6 these days and thrilled about it. It's the same size that she was in the 1980s,' the insider spilled. 'Her closet is completely different now — the items are so much smaller — and it makes her very happy to get back to the body that she had in her younger years,' the person added. While Jenner hasn't publicly shared how she lost the weight, fans believe it could be due to using the diabetes and weight loss drug Ozempic. Kris has historically attributed her lean figure to healthy eating and an active lifestyle. Her fans have been remarking on her glowing and youthful appearance in recent sightings and social media posts. Jenner, who shares four of her children with the late Robert Kardashian and two with Caitlin Jenner, has been candid about her cosmetic procedures in the past. Jenner's strikingly youthful appearance in recent weeks has sparked speculation about whether she's had another facelift; pictured left in May 2025, and right in May 2024 In a 2018 Keeping Up With the Kardashians episode she welcomed viewers to follow along as she had an earlobe reduction procedure. She lamented on the show, 'All I want is just cute ears. Ever since Kim made a comment about my ears I've always wondered and now I am looking in the mirror obsessively like, "Are they too big?"' And the star added, 'I learned that your nose and your ears keep growing your whole life. I think that the decision to do something about my ever-changing ears is suddenly a priority.' Kris has also been open about regularly getting Botox to help maintain a taut, wrinkle-free visage.

Kris Jenner, 69, looks half her age as she shows off new face after selling wardrobe to fit her slimmer figure
Kris Jenner looked exceptionally youthful as she stepped out for a shopping spree on Friday — just days after debuting a striking new facelift that left fans doing double takes. The Kardashian matriarch, 69, turned heads last week when she was mistaken for daughter Kim Kardashian after unveiling her refreshed face while in Paris for Kim's armed robbery trial. Her rep later confirmed she enlisted the skills of celebrity plastic surgeon Dr. Steven M. Levine — dubbed the 'facelift maestro' — to achieve her new look. On Friday, Kris flaunted her age-defying appearance on the outskirts of Los Angeles, beaming during a bout of retail therapy. Dressed in her signature style — a sleek dark pinstriped suit — she looked elegant, polished, and decades younger. The outing comes after exclusively revealed the momager was clearing out her size 10 designer wardrobe after slimming down to a size 6. A source told 'Kris is no longer a size 10 so she has no need for those clothes, she is a size 6 these days and thrilled about it. It's the same size that she was in the 1980s. 'Her closet is completely different now — the items are so much smaller — and it makes her very happy to get back to the body that she had in her younger years.' While Jenner hasn't publicly shared how she lost the weight, fans speculate it may be due to taking Ozempic. The momager has always credited her lean figure to healthy eating, careful calorie tracking, and daily workouts at the gym. Jenner's fans have been remarking on her glowing and youthful appearance in recent sightings and social media posts. Last Saturday they did a double take after hairstylist Chris Stapleton shared a series of photos of the reality star on social media. The Kardashians star, who was in Paris to support daughter Kim Kardashian as she testified about being the victim of a brutal armed robbery, looked remarkably like her second-oldest daughter in the new pics. The reality TV star has listed a number of bigger pieces - some are size large and a few XL - on her Kardashian Kloset website Jenner's fans have been remarking on her glowing and youthful appearance in recent sightings and social media posts 'Just a Kris Jenner appreciation post,' Stapleton wrote on Instagram on Friday. 'I thought that was Kim posing as Kris at first… for the first photo,' claimed one amazed fan. 'Thought that was Kim! She looks INCREDIBLE' exclaimed another. Fans have also been begging Kris to name her doctor. 'Dont be shy, I needa know who to go to in 30 more years,' one wrote on a recent Instagram snap of Jenner. 'Who's your doctor???? AMAZING,' another added. 'The doctor deserves an award! Wow!' Fans have been begging Kris to name her doctor. 'Dont be shy, I needa know who to go to in 30 more years,' one wrote on a recent Instagram snap of Jenner 'The fountain of youth. I want some of the water she's drinking.' Many also compared Kris' youthful appearance to Lindsay Lohan's recent transformation. 'What in the Lindsay Lohan is going on here,' one wrote. 'She got the Lindsay Lohan,' another added. Lohan, 38, has never admitting to having surgery, but has credited her gorgeous skin to her dermatologist in Dubai. Though Kris has not specified what work she's had done with Dr. Levine, it wouldn't mark her first time going under the knife. In 2011, a terrified Kris was filmed being wheeled in for a facelift on her reality show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Jenner 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. 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.' Jenner also previously admitted she had a breast augmentation in the '80s after having four kids, but later revised the procedure for 'smaller' implants and a 'lift.' Her earlobe surgery was also featured on Keeping Up with the Kardashians back in 2018. The star has also had 'Botox and fillers and lasers and things like that.' Many fans previously called out the star for filtering her social media photos and creating 'unreal beauty expectations.'

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.
