Kris Jenner’s facelift: “I love my facelift”
Kris Jenner has been open about having two facelifts: the first about 15 years ago and a second, which she called a refresh, ahead of her 70th birthday. In 2026 she dismissed reports that she regretted it and said simply that she loves her facelift. Here is what she said, where it was published, and what a modern facelift involves.

What did Kris Jenner say about her facelift?
Kris Jenner has spoken about her facelifts several times, and E! News collected her words in April 2026. In an August 2025 profile for Vogue Arabia she said: “I had a facelift about 15 years ago, so 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.” The second operation was done ahead of her 70th birthday.

WhatsAppIn April 2026, speaking with her daughter Khloé Kardashian on the podcast Khloé in Wonder Land, she answered reports that she was unhappy with the result. She called them “a flat-out lie” and said: “I love my facelift.”
That is all we rely on here. She did not describe the surgical technique in these statements, so this article does not guess at it. Where the text below explains facelift types and recovery, it describes the operation in general, not her treatment.
Why her openness matters
Jenner explained her reasons herself: “Just because you get older, it doesn’t mean you should give up on yourself.” She also said that people who prefer to do nothing should do nothing, and that for her, surgery was her own version of ageing gracefully. And she explained why she talks about it at all: “I have the conviction that sharing these things can be helpful.”

Her story also shows something practical that surgeons often explain: a facelift is not a one-off event for life. Tissues keep ageing after surgery, and some people choose a second operation many years later. Talking openly about a repeat facelift makes that timeline easier to understand for anyone planning their own.

How a facelift is done today
Modern surgical facelifts work on three levels. The skin is lifted and redraped and the excess removed; fat in the cheeks and lower face is redistributed; and, most importantly, the SMAS layer — the muscle and fascia under the skin — is lifted and secured. Working on this deeper layer treats the cause of sagging rather than only its surface, which is why the effect lasts much longer than a skin-only lift. The operation is done under general (inhalation) anaesthesia, with incisions hidden along the hairline and around the ears.
SMAS facelift (mid and lower face)
- What it addresses
- Jowls, sagging cheeks, double chin, deep nasolabial folds
- Price at City Medical Centre
- from $2,400
Lower face and neck lift (SMAS)
- What it addresses
- Chin, jowls and loose neck skin
- Price at City Medical Centre
- from $2,400
Endoscopic brow and temple lift
- What it addresses
- Drooping brows, forehead and frown lines
- Price at City Medical Centre
- from $2,400
Full (circular) facelift
- What it addresses
- Forehead, temples, mid and lower face and neck together
- Price at City Medical Centre
- on request
A SMAS facelift typically lasts 7–10 years, and a repeat procedure can be done after that if the patient wishes — the same kind of “refresh” Jenner described.
Who is a candidate and how to prepare
A surgical facelift is usually recommended from age 40 with marked sagging, and in some cases from 35. Typical reasons:
- a blurred jawline and jowls;
- a double chin or loose skin on the neck;
- deep nasolabial folds and marionette lines;
- drooping brows and a heavy look;
- a wish for a long-term result rather than repeated injections.
Contraindications include acute skin inflammation, pregnancy and breastfeeding, severe cardiovascular disease, blood clotting disorders, cancer and decompensated diabetes. If you have a chronic condition, tell the doctor at the consultation; the surgeon then decides the scope of surgery and explains every stage.
What recovery looks like
For the first 7–10 days you need rest, a compression bandage and reduced activity. Discomfort and tightness in the first days are eased with medication prescribed by the doctor. Swelling and bruising fade in 2–4 weeks, and the first clear changes are visible once the swelling goes down, after 3–4 weeks.
Full recovery takes about two months, and the face reaches its final look within 3–6 months. The operating surgeon follows the patient for the whole first year.
How recovery after a facelift usually goes
- Day of surgeryGeneral (inhalation) anaesthesia; you stay in the inpatient unit under round-the-clock monitoring.
- Days 1–10Rest, a compression bandage and reduced activity; tightness is eased with prescribed medication.
- Weeks 2–4Swelling and bruising fade.
- Weeks 3–4The first clear changes become visible as the swelling goes down.
- About 2 monthsFull recovery.
- Months 3–6The face takes on its final look; follow-up continues for the first year.
