Kris Jenner Explains Why She Opted for Another Facelift Ahead of 70th Birthday
Kris Jenner is not here to apologize for her face — or her choices. The 69-year-old matriarch of the Kardashian-Jenner empire recently opened up about why she decided to undergo another facelift, and it’s not just about vanity, though let’s be real — it’s definitely about looking good too.
In an interview with Vogue Arabia published August 26, Jenner explained that after her first facelift nearly 15 years ago, 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. And yes, she said it with the kind of conviction usually reserved for TED Talks and motivational speeches. Because apparently, getting work done is now part of the aging gracefully package.
“Just because you get older, it doesn’t mean you should give up on yourself,” she added, which sounds inspiring until you remember that she’s talking about elective surgery and not, say, taking up yoga or learning a new language. But hey, if it makes her happy, who are we to judge?
Jenner also revealed that she wanted to be open about her procedure because she believes it can be inspirational for people who are struggling with self-image. “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. Because nothing says empowerment like a well-timed facelift and a matching T-shirt line.
Yes, you read that right. In June, Jenner launched a line of shirts under her son Rob Kardashian’s Arthur George apparel line, featuring the cheeky slogan: “I’ll Have What Kris Jenner Is Having.” The shirts were modeled by family friend and stylist Chris Appleton, and the comments section was flooded with love from her daughters, including Kim Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian, who both chimed in with enthusiastic support.
This isn’t the first time Jenner has gone public with her cosmetic procedures. Back in 2011, she revealed that she had a “little freshening up” done ahead of Kim and Kanye West’s wedding. “Just gotta do what a girl’s gotta do!” she quipped at the time during an appearance on The Talk. Classic Kris.
Of course, she wasn’t alone in her journey this time around. Daughter Kylie Jenner accompanied her to the surgery, while Kim stayed connected via FaceTime throughout the process. Because nothing says family bonding like a surgical procedure and a Facetime call.
But it’s not all glow-ups and glamour. Other celebrities have opened up about their own regrets and realizations regarding cosmetic procedures. Uncut Gems actress Julia Fox, for instance, recently admitted to Allure in August 2025 that she sometimes regrets the reasons behind her past surgeries, which include liposuction, rhinoplasty, veneers, Botox, and fillers. “When I see someone and I can tell they’ve never done anything, I wish I could go back and be that person,” she confessed. “I was so hung up on this idea that I needed to be attractive to men so that I could survive.”
Meanwhile, Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Tanya Sam reversed her under-eye filler on E!’s Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind in July 2025. “My skin is tighter,” she said. “I feel more youthful, more beautiful, more confident than ever before.”
And then there’s 90 Day Fiancé star Larissa Lima, who made the decision to downsize her breast implants from 1,500 cc to 700 cc. “This reversal has been one of the most liberating and healing decisions I’ve ever made,” she told E! News. “It feels like I reclaimed a part of myself that I had put aside for the sake of an image, for expectations that weren’t truly mine.”
So while some celebrities are reversing their choices, others like Jenner are doubling down — and turning it into a brandable moment. Because in the world of the Kardashians, even a facelift is a marketing opportunity.
