Did Kim Kardashian Get A 'Ponytail Facelift?' Fans Think So After Her Academy Museum Gala Appearance
"Given her facial appearance, I think she had a ponytail facelift around two or three years ago," Betteridge said in the October 22nd clip. He explained that this is a procedure "where the scars are are discreetly put in the hairline by the temples and behind the ear."
"I say this time period because in a video from 2022, we can see evidence of skin folding in front of the ear," he went on. For her to look very similar to how she did twenty years ago "with the only real obvious differences being her nose shape and cheek volume," he continued, "I'd say that's pretty impressive."
Fans headed to the comments section to share their thoughts. "No question a facelift (a very good one at that)," one wrote as another added: "Love your thorough explanations! @drjb.aesthetics She looks great wonderful. She wants it. She gets it. Nothing ever wrong with that." Someone else replied: "Her jawline has been filled in, she had a very long face shape and now her jaw is fuller and more squared off making her face look shorter."
The user added: "You can also tell how her eyes turn upwards on the outer corners now. Definitely had a cheek implant early on and a few nose jobs and after the last one, she needed a lip flip because it made her filter too long." They continued: "Don't get me wrong. She looks beautiful, but she's definitely had a lot of work done but it's not done badly so she looks great!"
For years, fans have speculated that the mom of four may have undergone plastic surgery procedures since her initial rise to fame on Keeping Up With The Kardashians in the mid-2000s, even though she has never openly admitted to such suspicions. In the comment section of a post from the popular Instagram account @celebrityplastics (where fans frequently compare photos of celebrities who may have undergone cosmetic enhancements), numerous people analyzed videos of Kardashian’s face from 2010 and 2023.
They debated why she looks “different” in the more recent footage. While some thought it may be “due to Botox injections” that she has confessed to, a significant number of commenters seem to think that she underwent a “rhinoplasty procedure” because her nose appears altered 13 years later.
