Kris Jenner broke the internet with her new facelift, with some people mistaking the 69-year-old for her 44-year-old daughter, Kim.
The matriarch of the Kardashian-Jenner family, Kris Jenner debuted her new look on Instagram, and while she only credited her hair and makeup team, fans were quick to comment on her work.
“This is the best facelift/face work I’ve ever seen,” wrote one Instagram user, while another commented: “Kudos to your doctor, the facelift was perfect.”
The Kardashians are no stranger to cosmetic surgeries but this look has gone seriously viral.
The doctor behind the work is Dr Steven Levine, surgeon to the stars, as confirmed by an insider source to Page Six. Here’s a closer look at what he does for some of the world’s most famous faces.
Who is Dr Steven Levine?
Dubbed one of the ‘Best Plastic Surgeons’ by SuperDoctors and by NY Top Docs, Dr Steven Levine works in New York City.
Dr Levine specialises in what he describes as “natural-looking enhancements of the face, breasts, and body” on his website, as well as both cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries.
He graduated from NYU Medical School and then went on to train in plastic surgery for seven years at the same school.
After graduating, Dr Levine joined the private practice of Dr Daniel C. Baker for over seven years, before opening his own practice in 2019, as well as a private operating facility on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
In particular, Dr Levine has gained a reputation for customising contemporary surgical techniques, resulting in attention-grabbing results like Kris Jenner’s facelift.
Some of the services his practice offers include facelifts, rhinoplasty, eyelid rejuvenation (lower blepharoplasty and upper blepharoplasty), body contouring, and breast augmentation and reduction.
Which celebrities has he been a plastic surgeon to?
Jenner is far from his only celebrity client.
In fact, Dr Levine has been credited as the surgeon behind a number of Hollywood and supermodel faces — though he tends to stay tight-lipped about his past work.
Kris Jenner is not the only celeb to astound fans with a brand new look, with Lindsay Lohan making headlines at the end of last year for a similar ‘miracle’ facelift.
Online sleuths have claimed he is allegedly the go-to surgeon for the likes of Demi Moore and Brad Pitt. However, none of these stars have publicly spoken about their surgery.
How have people reacted to Kris Jenner’s new look?
In Kris’ case, comparing her new look to older pictures of her certainly shows the difference, with smoother skin around the chin, eyes, and cheeks.
While a lot of her fans have been applauding the new look, some are expressing concern.
“DEAR KARDASHIANS,” wrote one user in all capitals. “IT’S OK TO AGE.”
“This is NOT ageing gracefully. Love yourself,” agreed another Instagram commenter.
Other famous plastic surgeons
While Jenner’s influence has likely propelled Mr Levine into the limelight, an entire cohort of top surgeons are known for their work in celebrity circles.
Jason Diamond
Beverly Hills-based surgeon Jason Diamond is thought to have worked with the likes of Kim Kardashian, Katy Perry and Chrissy Teigen over the years, according to Page Six.
While few celebs have opened up about their plastic surgery, Teigen did confirm her work with Diamond when she said: “I did that Dr Diamond buccal fat removal thing here."
The doctor himself also admitted that he may have a signature style, meaning those in the know may be able to spot his surgery work.
“One of my employees always says that I have an invisible signature, and that’s how you know it is one of my patients,” the plastic surgeon told Page Six.
Dr Lara Devgan
Dr Devgan is said to be another surgeon to the stars, helping people like Jennifer Aniston and Bella Hadid among her fan base.
Not only is she a skilled plastic surgeon, but she also boasts her own skincare line and has helped celebrities prep their skin for a number of high profile events.
Dr Harold Lancer
It’s not just plastic surgery that keeps Hollywood in shape either, most stars also splash the cash on a number of treatments and skincare routines that are simply not in the budget of normal folk.
Aesthetician at Dr. Harold Lancer is considered a dermatologist to stars like J.Lo, offering subtle tweakments and skincare procedures to really give them that Hollywood glow.
