Kris Jenner isn’t shying away from talking about her cosmetic procedures.
On the latest episode of the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, the businesswoman and reality show star spoke about her approach to sharing details about her surgical journey in an intentional and empowering way.
“If you really think about it, all the stuff I've done over the years, I've always filmed for our show. I filmed a facelift 15 years ago,” Jenner, 69, told host Amanda Hirsch near the 11-minute mark in the video linked above. She also referenced her decision to document past procedures like a hip replacement, and even a hysterectomy.
“We filmed that because we have such an amazing group of fans and people that watch the show and people out there that write to us constantly, and are really some people are super emotionally invested in one of us, or all of us, or some of us. Or they're the biggest haters in the world and they can't help but watch, right?” she continued. “I think that it really is somehow my way of showing people and trying to inspire others not to be afraid of, you know, surgeries that you need that are necessary, or even something you want to do because you want to feel better about yourself. And don't be afraid of it, and fear is not your friend.”
Although she didn’t film her most recent procedure, Jenner was still deliberate about confirming it publicly. She credited Dr. Steven Levine, calling him an “amazing person, human, and … a very talented young man.”
Jenner shared that it was her daughter Kylie who accompanied her to the New York-based procedure where she felt safe and cared for by Levine’s team. However, when other professionals began taking credit for his work, she decided to set the record straight.
Despite his lowkey nature, Jenner called Levine to ask if she could publicly name him. He agreed under one condition.
Jenner recalled, “He goes, ‘Listen, I'll tell you what. As long as we can come up with a password so that if somebody calls and says, ‘I'm Kris Jenner's best friend, and can I have a consultation?’ They have to say the secret password.”
She revealed that since naming him, Levine’s office has been inundated with calls from people pretending to be close friends, none of whom knew the secret password.
“If you know me, you know what the password is,” Jenner quipped.
The podcast appearance follows Jenner’s September 2025 Vogue Arabia cover story, where she confirmed the facelift many had been speculating about.
"I had a facelift about 15 years ago, so it was time for a refresh," the businesswoman and reality television star told the publication. "I decided to do this facelift because I want to be the best version of myself, and that makes me happy."
With her 70th birthday approaching on Nov. 5, Jenner reflected on aging and urged others not to “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," Jenner explained at the time. "But for me, this is aging gracefully. It’s my version."
Jenner now joins daughters Khloé Kardashian and Kylie Jenner in a wave of transparency about cosmetic enhancements. Kylie detailed her breast augmentation on TikTok this past summer, while Khloé openly shared a list of surgical and non-surgical tweaks in response to fan speculation.
