Kris Jenner Discusses Facelift Results and "Aging Gracefully"

Kris Jenner, 70, recently showcased the results of a $150,000 facelift while accompanying her daughter Kim Kardashian to Bvlgari in Rome for the latter's 46th birthday celebrations.

Jenner, often referred to as the matriarch of her famous family, underwent the procedure last year. While attending the event, she was seen wearing oversized sunglasses, but her complexion appeared taut. She complemented her look with a pink Chanel jacket, a burgundy co-ord set, and a matching handbag. Kim Kardashian, by her side, wore a plunging white dress.

This outing comes after Jenner publicly addressed claims that she was unhappy with her facelift. In a recent appearance on her daughter Khloe Kardashian's podcast, "Khloe in Wonder Land," Jenner refuted any reports of dissatisfaction with her surgeon, Dr. Steven M. Levine, stating that the headlines were "a flat-out lie."

"I love my facelift. I adore my doctor. I'm obsessed with him," Jenner stated, adding, "At 70 years old, I don't really care what someone thinks of me. I don't need anyone's approval. I love my face. And I'm really okay with the way I look."

Jenner has previously spoken about her approach to aging. In a September 2025 interview with Vogue Arabia, she described cosmetic surgery as her way of "aging gracefully." She noted that she had a facelift approximately 15 years prior and felt it was time for a "refresh."

"I decided to do this facelift because I want to be the best version of myself, and that makes me happy," she said. "Just because you get older, it doesn't mean you should give up on yourself. If you feel comfortable in your skin and you want to age gracefully – meaning you don't want to do anything – then don't do anything. But for me, this is aging gracefully. It's my version."

Beyond surgical procedures, Jenner has also reportedly turned to peptides for hair health. She is said to be a stakeholder in Omi's Hair Growth Peptides, which she uses in gummy form. In a sponsored Instagram Story earlier this year, she described the product as life-changing, noting her hair felt "thicker, stronger and just healthier overall."

Peptides are defined by Harvard Health as "short chains of amino acids (the building blocks of proteins) that can have a range of effects on the body." While influencers and wellness clinics promote peptides for various benefits, including muscle building and injury recovery, Jenner's focus has been on hair growth.

Jenner's facelift was performed by celebrity plastic surgeon Dr. Steven M. Levine. She first turned heads with her refreshed appearance in May 2025, during an event in Paris.
