Inside My Consult with Kris Jenner's Facelift Surgeon

The $175K Price Tag - and Why the Vibe Didn't Match the Hype

If you have been following my facelift diaries then you know I’ve been on a mission: find the right surgeon for a lower facelift and decide if I’m ready to commit, or keep holding on for a few more years. Filler fatigue is real, and Botox has done all it can—my brows are in full retreat.

My journey started last December. A friend of mine recently had her facelift done by Dr. Steven Levine—yes, the very same surgeon Kris Jenner credited with her latest face transformation. He was already well-known in New York’s beauty world, but the Kris reveal launched him into a new stratosphere. My friend raved about her results, and I saw them with my own eyes. So, I booked a consult, along with several other doctors. It was $500 back then, and had my consult with Dr. Levine. This was before the Kris Jenner reveal.

Behind the paywall: the juicy stuff: what he told me, what it’ll cost, what kind of vibe you’re signing up for, and why I really disagree with a few posts I have seen on instagram regarding other visits with Dr. Levine.

But first, a little foreplay…

The Consult

Technically, I first met Dr. Levine about ten years ago at a Hamptons dinner party. We’re the same age—47—and he’s extremely professional. On time. Efficient.

Unlike many surgeons, his office didn’t ask for any photos—no before pics, no reference shots of my younger self, nothing. And none were taken at the appointment either.
