Kris Jenner, 70, was seen enjoying a cocktail and posing with a prop cigarette at her daughter Khloe Kardashian's 42nd birthday celebration. Photos shared on Jenner's Instagram captured the matriarch in a festive mood, channeling a bartender while holding a martini shaker and the fake cigarette.
Jenner's appearance at the event comes months after she publicly addressed rumors that the results of her $300,000 facelift were diminishing. Insiders had alleged to Radar Online that Jenner was unhappy with the outcome of the procedure, performed by celebrity plastic surgeon Dr. Steven M. Levine, and was considering a revision. However, Jenner firmly denied these claims during an appearance on Khloe Kardashian's podcast.
"It's a flat-out lie. I love my facelift. I adore my doctor. I'm obsessed with him," Jenner stated, emphasizing that the goal of the procedure was to achieve a refreshed look and a refined jawline, which she felt was successfully accomplished. She explained her decision to speak out was to protect Dr. Levine from the false reports.
Jenner has openly discussed her cosmetic procedures, including a facelift she underwent approximately 15 years prior to the recent one. In a 2025 interview with Vogue Arabia, she shared her motivation for the latest facelift, stating, "I want to be the best version of myself, and that makes me happy." She added that aging does not mean one should abandon self-care and that her approach to aging gracefully is a personal choice.
Jenner has previously undergone other cosmetic procedures, including a facelift in 2011 by Dr. Garth Fisher, Botox, a breast augmentation in the 1980s, an earlobe reduction in 2018, and a hip replacement in 2022. She has also spoken about the importance of being open about surgery to inspire others who may be considering procedures for their well-being. To maintain discretion for her surgeon, Jenner and Dr. Levine reportedly created a secret password for prospective patients seeking consultations.
Jenner has been visible at several high-profile events since her facelift, including the wedding celebrations of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez, and her family's holiday gathering. She previously noted that she had a facelift about 15 years ago, making the recent procedure a refresh. She has characterized her approach as her own version of aging gracefully.
