Kris Jenner recently appeared looking more radiant than ever, sparking curiosity about who helped her achieve her youthful glow. The mystery is solved. The man behind the look is Dr. Steven Levine, a highly sought after plastic surgeon in New York. Here are five key things to know about him.
1. He is the go to surgeon for celebrities
Dr. Steven Levine has earned a stellar reputation among Hollywood’s elite. His client list reportedly includes top models, actors, and now Kris Jenner herself. According to a report from People, Jenner recently underwent aesthetic treatments performed by Levine, though the exact procedures were not disclosed.
2. He specializes in natural looking enhancements
Dr. Levine is known for his work that enhances features without making them look overly altered. His services include facelifts, brow lifts, eyelid lifts, neck lifts, facial fat grafting, dermal fillers, chemical peels, and dermabrasion. In a New York Times interview, he said a full facial treatment including multiple procedures can cost between 50000 and 110000 dollars.
3. His work has earned him major recognition
Levine has received numerous awards for his skill and contributions. He earned the Blair Rodgers Resident Research Award at NYU Medical Center and the Outstanding Contribution to Student Life Award from NYU School of Medicine. He was also honored by Tufts University with the Arnold B Hoffman University Service Award and was a finalist for the Wendell Phillips Award.
4. The pandemic brought unexpected challenges to his practice
When elective procedures were paused during the COVID lockdowns, Dr. Levine’s practice faced major disruptions. He shared that some clients tried to persuade him to operate anyway. One even offered a stay at their Hamptons home to get their appointment. Levine declined, citing safety and ethics.
5. He turns away a significant number of patients
Levine does not say yes to everyone. In an interview with V Magazine, he said he declines about one third of potential clients. If he feels a procedure will not benefit the patient, or if he senses they are not ready emotionally or mentally, he says no. He explained that turning down money is his way of showing he truly believes the surgery is not right for them.
So now you know. The man behind Kris Jenner’s refreshed appearance is not just a cosmetic expert. He is a surgeon who values balance, honesty, and long term satisfaction over shortcuts or hype.
