Kris Jenner’s Stunning Glow-Up: How a Deep Plane Facelift Can Achieve the Same Youthful Look

By Dr. James Marotta, Dual Board-Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon

When Kris Jenner recently revealed her rejuvenated look on a recent trip to Paris, the internet immediately lit up with speculation—and admiration. At 68, Jenner looks refreshed, lifted, and undeniably youthful. It’s a beautiful example of what’s possible with expertly performed facial rejuvenation—and a testament to the power of today’s most advanced surgical techniques.

As a facial plastic surgeon who specializes exclusively in the face and neck, I’ve helped hundreds of patients achieve similar transformations using one of the most effective and natural looking procedures available today: the Deep Plane Facelift, often combined with Deep Neck Contouring.

Let’s break down what likely contributed to Jenner’s glow-up—and how you can achieve your own elevated, yet natural, result.

What Is a Deep Plane Facelift?

Unlike traditional facelifts that simply tighten the skin, a Deep Plane Facelift works at a foundational level. It lifts the SMAS layer (the fibrous network under the skin that supports your facial structure), releasing deep ligaments and repositioning volume for a more youthful contour. The result? Long-lasting rejuvenation that doesn’t look pulled, tight, or overdone.

This technique is especially effective in addressing:

• Midface sagging
• Nasolabial folds
• Jowling
• Loss of jawline definition

If you look closely at Kris Jenner’s results, you’ll see smoother transitions along the jawline and a soft lift to the cheeks—hallmarks of a deep plane approach done well.

Why Combine It with a Deep Neck Contouring?

A youthful face requires a youthful neck. In many cases, a traditional facelift ignores the neck altogether—or treats it superficially. Deep Neck Contouring goes further by sculpting the neck from the inside out: removing excess fat, tightening muscles (platysmaplasty), and even contouring the submandibular glands when needed.

This combination can dramatically redefine the neckline and jaw, creating a seamless, elegant transition from face to décolletage—something we clearly see in Jenner’s new profile.

Natural-Looking Results That Age Gracefully

What I appreciate about Jenner’s glow-up is that she still looks like herself—just fresher and more confident. That’s always my goal with facial surgery: you, at your best.

With the deep plane technique, there’s no reliance on skin tension to create lift. That’s what allows the face to move naturally, and what helps these results hold up beautifully over time.

Who Is a Candidate for a Deep Plane Facelift?

This procedure is ideal for patients in their 40s to 70s who are noticing:

• Jowling or facial sagging
• Deepening folds around the mouth
• A tired or heavy appearance in the lower face
• Neck laxity or “turkey neck”

Most importantly, the deep plane technique is customizable. We tailor the procedure to your anatomy, your goals, and your natural aging pattern.
