Matriarch of the Kardashian-Jenner family, Kris Jenner, has finally spilt the beans about why she chose to get a second facelift.
Earlier this year, the internet went absolutely bananas when Kris appeared to have had the world’s best night’s sleep when she supported Kim Kardashian during her 2016 robbery case in Paris. It wasn’t long before the facelift whispers started, and the business mogul confirmed that she’d gone under the knife again.
Now, in a candid interview with Vogue Arabia, the 69-year-old momager revealed her thoughts on ageing, her motivations behind getting a tune-up and wasn’t afraid to dish the dirty details.
“I had a facelift about 15 years ago, so it was time for a refresh,” she explained.
“I decided to do this facelift because I want to be the best version of myself, and that makes me happy. 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 ageing gracefully. It’s my version.”
The Kardashians star revealed that the procedure was performed New York-based surgeon, Dr Steven Levine, and that she was accompanied by her daughter, Kylie Jenner, as she underwent the surgery.
“Of course, my daughter Kylie went with me, while Kim was present at all times on FaceTime,” she shared.
In recent years, the Kardashians have been more open about the cosmetic procedures they’ve undergone. However, Kris was one of the early adopters of cosmetic transparency for the family and 2011, viewers of Keeping Up With The Kardashians watched on as Kris got her very first facelift on camera.
More recently, Kylie revealed all the details of her breast augmentation on TikTok, much to the delight of her fans online. According to Kris, a level of transparency is important.
“I decided to reveal some details because I feel it can be very inspirational to people who aren’t feeling so great about themselves,” she said.
“Even when I had my hip replacement, we filmed it. I have the conviction that sharing these things can be helpful.”
Jenner is right. It is important for celebrities to be transparent about their procedures. While I appreciate the honesty, I do wonder whether the family has ever paused to consider the direct impact they have had on the growing acceptance of cosmetic procedures in our society.
After all, we don’t live in a vacuum. The Kardashian-Jenners are affected by the same rigid societal expectations as we all are. Unlike the average person, they hear more negative, damaging commentary. They also have the means to correct these so-called physical shortcomings. But by doing so, they help to enforce sky-high beauty expectations that are almost impossible to keep up with — and the vicious cycle continues.
As a self-professed Kardashian apologist and lover of Botox, I am all for women doing anything they want to feel their best in a world which holds incredibly high standards for our appearance. But if you were to ask me whether I think the Kardashians were complicit in perpetuating these high standards with things like Kris Jenner’s facelift, I’d say yes.
