Kris Jenner is very happy with her recent facelift, despite headlines suggesting otherwise.
The Kardashians momager appeared on the April 29 episode of daughter Khloé Kardashian’s Khloé in Wonder Land podcast. During her appearance, she defended herself against tabloid speculation that she’s “furious” at her plastic surgeon and “hates” what he did to her face.
Her response comes after Radar Online suggested she was “raging” that the work was already “slipping,” a year after going under the knife.
Jenner first went viral for her refreshed look at Lauren Sánchez’s bachelorette party in May 2025. Page Six and PEOPLE reported later that month that she had recently had surgery; Kris herself didn’t reveal she had a facelift, however, until an August 2025 cover story with Vogue Arabia.
Rumors About Her Facelift
GettyDuring the podcast with Khloé, Kris was asked whether she ever gets worked up about news coverage of their famous family. It’s then Jenner brought up the recent chatter about her face.
“Lately, it’s this headline about my facelift, which is really, truly driving me crazy,” she revealed. “The headline right now is that I hate my facelift, and I’m really mad at, I’m furious at my doctor, Steven Levine, which couldn’t be further from the truth. It’s a flat-out lie. I love my facelift. I adore my doctor. I’m obsessed with him.”
She went on to call Levine “one of the most talented, amazing men I’ve ever met, and somebody who really put his heart and soul into what he did for me and what he does for every other patient he has.” Jenner added that he’s “so smart, he’s meticulous, he’s an artist, he does a great job with all of his patients.”
Calling the rumors “really disappointing,” Jenner said that the goal with Levine was “to do a beautiful lift and give me a refresh and do a beautiful jawline, which I achieved.”
As for why she’s really upset about the speculation, she said it’s hurtful to Levine’s reputation.
“I’m upset that people are saying I’m furious with my doctor, I’m blaming him for this facelift that completely fell apart. No and no,” Jenner insisted. “The only reason to bring it up or say anything about it is it’s really hurting someone else.”
“I can take what people say. I have pretty thick skin,” she added. “And I don’t really need to talk about this issue at all. Except for the fact that someone else is involved, I love him, and I think he’s a genius. I think he’s one of the most talented doctors I’ve ever been to. I think it’s really for him, to say, ‘I love you, Steven.'”
Why Kris Came Clean About Her Surgery
GettySpeaking with Khloé, Kris said she never intended to discuss her facelift in public.
Explaining that she was “minding my own business” after surgery, Jenner said it was the media who first started speculating she had work done after her appearance made waves at Sánchez’s bachelorette party.
“It became this crazy, obsessive thing where every single person was posting about it,” said Jenner, who claimed other doctors started to take credit for Levine’s work, or at least insinuated they may have done it themselves.
That’s why she came forward, so she could publicly give Levine credit, while also giving her friends a referral password to share with Levine if they wanted similar work.
She added that she also wants to be transparent about things like her plastic surgery, hip replacement, and hysterectomy to remove the stigma around them and help “build women up.”
“At 70 years old, I don’t really care what someone thinks of me,” she concluded. “I don’t need anyone’s approval. “I love my face. And I’m really okay with the way I look.”
