Kris Jenner 2.0: The Art of a F*cking Good Facelift

And why we are all screen-shotting her jawline

At 69, Kris Jenner just walked into Paris looking like she accidentally stepped through a time portal—and we’re not mad about it. In fact, we’re studying the tape like it’s the Zapruder film.

We’ve seen good facelifts. We’ve seen bad facelifts. And then there’s whatever wizardry just happened to Kris—a masterclass in restraint, precision, and million-dollar facial architecture. Her jawline? Taut but not tense. Her neck? Smooth but not statue-like. And her eyes? Bright, lifted, and devoid of that telltale “I just saw a ghost and can’t close my eyelids” look.

P.S. Isn’t it adorable how People wants us to believe it’s the bob that’s making Kris Jenner look 30 years younger? Sure. And I guess my jade roller is what’s keeping my jawline snatched, too.

Let’s break down why this facelift is so f*cking great:

1. It’s not too tight.

Going to the right doctor means you don’t look pulled and taut. Kris still looks like herself, just post-8-week-retreat-in-the-Alps-with-an-IV-drip-of-stem-cells better. This is likely a deep plane facelift—the gold standard among top-tier plastic surgeons. It lifts the underlying facial structure, not just the skin, so you get a natural repositioning rather than a skin-stretching horror show. That’s the key here.

“This is not your mama’s mini lift,” says Dr. Ben Talei. He is good friend of the Kardashian clan and although was rumored to be the surgeon for Kris, Page Six is reporting that is Dr. Steven Levine (I actually had a consult with him last year and wrote about it in my last piece). Unlike the more superficial SMAS lift, a deep plane targets the underlying muscles and connective tissue. This gives more natural results. It looks lifted, not yanked up. It repositions, rather than just tightens. In my opinion, these new techniques are why it’s essential to do your homework before going under the knife. Technique, technique, technique is what it’s all about.

2. The neck is flawless.

No rogue platysmal bands, no “turkey wobble,” no obvious scar tucking under the ear. This kind of result typically requires a neck lift with fat sculpting and muscle tightening. Kris Jenner didn’t just get a facelift, she got an aesthetic rebirth.

“A great facelift always includes the neck,” says NYC-based facial plastic surgeon Dara Liotta. A frequent contributor to Charlotte’s Book, telling us Why Less is More and explaining Liquid Rhinoplasty.

3. There’s volume—but not filler face. Fat grafting not filler.

Her cheeks are full but not pillow-y, suggesting fat grafting over filler. This is how you
