Dr. Shervin Naderi breaks down Kris Jenner's facelift, explaining why early photos were likely AI-filtered and why surgeons claiming superior lasting results are misleading. Tissue quality varies by age, so a three-month result won't necessarily hold for 15 years.

Kris Jenner's facelift. It almost broke the internet a few months ago when she got the facelift by Dr. Levine. Everybody went crazy for it. Everybody wanted to know who the plastic surgeon was. He was a hero. But when I was looking at the pictures, all along I was telling people, dude, there's AI involved, there's filters involved. Yes, she looks great. Yes, he did a great job. But when you have no lines, no wrinkles, no shadows, no blemishes, That's a filter. That's not actual result. Fast forward a few months, somebody caught her at a public event. They took a picture of her, the paparazzi, and then people started commenting, "Ooh, maybe it's not as good as we thought it was." Fast forward a few more months. Now the internet is breaking down again from people saying, "Oh, she's so upset because her results are not lasting long." Let's talk about a couple of things. First of all, all these plastic surgeons were jumping on social media, making posts about, "My technique is better. I do this, I do that. My technique lasts longer." Stop. When you're doing a facelift on a 70-year-old, you cannot compare it to doing a facelift on a 40 or a 50-year-old. The tissue is not the same. You can do a fantastic job, but the patient's own tissue has to kinda hold things up. So if the surgeon did a great job and the thing looks great at 3 months, you expect it to last 15 years? Well, the surgeon is not standing there holding your face up. Now, The results, whether it's deep plane versus a SMAS lift, SMAS imbrication, SMAS plication, that's where you notice the result initially. A deep plane lift gives you a much nicer, sharper definition of the neckline. It just does a greater job. The lift is coming from the platysma and from the SMAS, but the glide planes are being fully released to a point where everything kind of lifts up nicer versus trying to really pull it from back here during a SMAS lift. So The initial story, the initial result, that's the plastic surgeon. How long it lasts, that's you, that's the patient. So to all the people saying, "You do a better job," you have not operated on Kris Jenner. You have no idea how your results would have lasted on her. You have to take everything with a grain of salt. There's pros and cons. I love deep-plane facelifts, but on a 70-year-old, you have to be realistic.
