Kris Jenner’s shock cosmetic transformation draws comparisons to model daughter Kendall

The surgeon behind Kris Jenner’s shock transformation — which led some fans to mistake the Jenner-Kardashian matriarch for one of her daughters — has been revealed.

Is a $40k procedure behind Hollywood's age-defying glow-ups?

The guru behind Kris Jenner’s new look is in-demand plastic surgeon Dr Steven Levine.

The 69-year-old Kardashian family matriarch has recently been mistaken for her supermodel daughter Kendall Jenner, 29, by fans which sparked speculation she may have sought some surgical assistance.

Sources close to the Keeping Up With The Kardashians mastermind say other surgeons had claimed to be responsible for the remarkable makeover, the New York Post reported.

But, in a statement issued on Jenner’s behalf, the surgeon behind her fresh-faced look was identified.

“We can confirm that Dr Steven Levine did Kris Jenner’s recent work,” the statement confirmed, without specifying the procedure.

Dr Levine is a New York-based plastic surgeon known for facelifts and other enhancements including breast and body procedures.

Jenner recently posted several pictures to Instagram showing the mother-of-six glowing and chic with daughter Kim Kardashian in Paris.

Jenner journeyed to the French capital to support her daughter who appeared at the court case stemming from her harrowing 2016 robbery.

The mum and daughter also attended Lauren Sánchez’s bachelorette party at the Cheval Blanc hotel while in Paris ahead of her wedding to tech billionaire Jeff Bezos.

Jenner posted snaps from the French trip and Sánchez’s party that included singer Katy Perry and actor Eva Longoria.

Jenner has been open about her cosmetic procedures in the past, even telling E! she underwent breast augmentation in the ’80s “after four kids” and later had further surgery for “smaller” implants and a “lift.”

In 2018, Jenner’s earlobe surgery was documented on her reality show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

She’s also had “Botox and fillers and lasers and things like that,” she has said.

Dr Levine has been rumoured to have done some of the most famous faces in Hollywood.
