Kris Jenner, 70, is reportedly furious that the results of her $300,000 facelift are fading less than a year after surgery. The Kardashian matriarch had previously been praised for her age-defying appearance, which some said made her look younger than her daughters.
Dr Omar Tillo, a plastic surgeon at CREO Clinic, said that if results are already deteriorating, it is unusually quick. He explained that a superficial skin-only lift may produce immediate results but without repositioning deeper structural layers, the skin can relax. Factors such as skin quality, genetics, sun damage, and weight changes may also affect longevity.
Tillo noted that patients in the public eye can sometimes perceive fading that is actually normal settling. A facelift typically produces its final result at six to twelve months post-surgery.
The issue of fading results is not unique to facelifts. Dr Richard Devine, aesthetic doctor and founder of Devine Clinic, said Botox typically lasts three to four months, but factors such as strong facial muscles, metabolism, age, lifestyle, and injector technique can affect duration. Regular heat exposure may also play a role.
