Kris Jenner, 69, Declares ‘This is Ageing Gracefully’ in Vogue Arabia Cover After $100K Facelift

Kris Jenner has proudly spoken out on her recent facelift after recently wowing fans with her incredible transformation.

Posing for a stunning cover shoot for Vogue Arabia’s September issue, the 69-year-old Momager spoke openly about her decision to go under the knife earlier this year.   

Back in May fans did a double take when Kris showed off her fresh-faced look, looking remarkably like her second-oldest daughter Kim Kardashian, 44, in the pictures.

The reality TV star sought the expertise of Dr. Steven M. Levine – known as the ‘facelift maestro’ – to help her achieve her fresh-faced look with the celeb favourite doctor’s procedures starting at $45,000.

Speaking to Vogue, Kris unapolgetically admitted that ‘for me, this is ageing gracefully. It’s my version.’

‘I had a facelift about 15 years ago, so it was time for a refresh,’ she confided. ‘I decided to do this facelift because I want to be the best version of myself, and that makes me happy.’

‘Just because you get older, it doesn’t mean you should give up on yourself. If you feel comfortable in your skin and you want to age gracefully – meaning you don’t want to do anything – then don’t do anything. But for me, this is ageing gracefully. It’s my version.’ 

Kris revealed that her youngest daughter Kylie, 28, who has also recently opened up to fans about her cosmetic procedures, accompanied her to the surgery whilst Kim was ‘present at all times on FaceTime.’

And as well as sharing the surgery with her daughters, Kris has no regrets about being honest with fans about her latest procedure, reasoning that it ‘can be very inspirational to people who aren’t feeling so great about themselves.’

‘Even when I had my hip replacement, we filmed it. I have the conviction that sharing these things can be helpful.’ 

Kris also spoke about her infamous business skills in the interview, revealing her negotiating skills early in her reality TV career has meant that she and her daughters have retained editing control over 27 seasons of their show, and there’s only one instance that she will always intervene in the edit. 

‘I wasn’t going to put my family in a vulnerable situation by signing a piece of paper saying they could do whatever they wanted with our image, and we would only see it on TV,’ she said. 

‘But we quickly realised that the raw moments, the tears and showing our real lives had real value. We only took something out when we looked bad, or there was a nicer angle.’ 

Kris turns 70 in November but shows no sign of slowing down, pointing out that ‘my mom worked until she was 82, and I’m planning on following suit. Maybe 85?’ 

As well as her new face, a source has told DailyMail.com that the mother-of-six has revamped her closet to match her changing appearance.

‘Kris is no longer a size 10 so she has no need for those clothes. She is a size 6 these days and thrilled about it. It’s the same size that she was in the 1980s,’ the insider spilled.

‘Her closet is completely different now — the items are so much smaller — and it makes her very happy to get back to the body that she had in her younger years,’ the person added.

While Jenner hasn’t publicly shared how she lost the weight, fans believe it could be due to using the diabetes and weight loss drug Ozempic.

Kris has historically attributed her lean figure to healthy eating and an active lifestyle.
