The reality star and supermodel Kendall Jenner he is undoubtedly one of the most famous faces in the world.

But her fans reacted with shock this week when footage of the Kardashians from the early 2010s resurfaced – claiming she was almost unrecognisable.

In the video, which has over 2.2 million views on TikTok, Jenner, 29 years old todayappears with much thinner lips and a differently shaped nose.

On social media, some quipped that Kendall did ...“face transplant”while some others said: “Kendall doesn’t even know who Kendall is.” The clip also sparked fresh speculation that the Victoria’s Secret runway star has undergone multiple cosmetic surgeries to alter her appearance.

Kendall flatly refused that he has undergone operations.

What do the doctors say?

The medical view differs from Kendall’s claims. Doctors say the model’s transformation is likely a result a series of interventions in the face.

THE Dr. Houtan Chabokia Washington, D.C.-based facial plastic surgeon said he suspects Kendall has “tweaked” her nose and lips. Commenting on her images in a TikTok video, she said: “The nose appears thinner in the middle and at the tip. Some cartilage was probably removed and the bone modified.”

“Her lips are a little fuller and thicker”he added. “This can usually be achieved with fillers.” “Some patients also have fat injections or botox. It is unlikely that he has had upper eyelid surgery, which is usually done on elderly patients.”

THE Dr. Saul Lahijani also a plastic surgeon at the Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Institute, told his 15,000 followers on TikTok: “Look at her eyes and her forehead. Her eyebrows are higher, her eyes wider. She’s done a bit of a fox-eye, maybe with an eyebrow lift.”

“Look how round her nose was. She’s sharper now. She’s definitely had a rhinoplasty”As far as the face is concerned, it is now more angular”he added.

And he continued: “He has probably had fillers, combined with oral fat removal. The fox facelift is a non-surgical procedure that involves dissolvable threads being inserted under the surface of the skin and pulled tight to tighten the corner of the upper eyelids.’

“A rhinoplasty involves an operation performed either from inside the nostrils – a closed rhinoplasty – or by making a small incision in the nose. By breaking and repositioning the lateral nasal bone, a surgeon can also reduce the width of the nose and achieve a narrower appearance.”

In 2023, Mr Dr. Andrew Peredo, who specializes in facial plastic surgery, also told MailOnline that he suspected Kendall had a rhinoplasty and lip fillers. He said: “The only thing I can really say is that her nose is great. She looks more sophisticated, I’d say, so I’m guessing she went for a rhinoplasty to achieve that.” “The top of her nose appears to be a little straighter and a little thinner in the 2023 image compared to the 2009 one.”

“It also looks like she’s lost some weight around her jawline, but it’s hard to tell if that’s natural or if she’s had a little help. Like her older sister, Kim, Kendall’s eyes and brows have a more upward slant.”noted Dr. Peredo. “This”he said, “suggests he may have had surgery.”

In September, photos of Kendall with more puffy cheeks, posted at the fashion event Bottega Veneta MilanSpring/Summer 2025, caused concern among her fans, who said she looked much older than her age.

In a TikTok video that has had 2.5 million views, one user commented: “She doesn’t look like a 28-year-old woman to me anymore [της ηλικίας της τότε] and he didn’t need any of that. The problem is that we know that filler moves, it doesn’t go away. It goes to different places and distorts people’s faces.”

“Fillers – usually injections of collagen or hyaluronic acid – are offered in beauty clinics for as little as £75. Although they are supposed to last for about 18 months, MRIs have shown that the filler can move and stick to areas of the face years after it dissolves.’

“Dermatologists have also warned in the past that extra facial filler in younger people can often look unnatural.”

A surgeon speaking to MailOnline has warned of a rise in the number of younger women needing facelift surgery because their appearance has been “ruined” by years of filler injections.

THE Dr. Julian De Silvafacial plastic surgery specialist said: “More and more women are coming to me because of facial aging in their 30s. It’s often because they’ve used fillers.”

“The filler can build up — it doesn’t always dissolve completely naturally and can be very difficult to remove. A patient I hadn’t seen in five years came back for facelift surgery and I almost didn’t recognize her because she had so much tumor in her cheeks, lips, chin and jaw. It was added to every six months and it just kept piling up. We broke up as much as we could. But patients often need surgery as their skin ends up stretched.”.

What Kendall replies

Responding to rumors that she had plastic surgery in 2017, Kendall said: “As a model, why reconstruct my face? It doesn’t even make sense. It’s crazy because sometimes I feel like people just want to blame me.”

In June 2021, Kendall also told the Bravo host, Andy Cohen that her family does not perpetuate unrealistic standards of beauty. He said: “We all really enjoy taking care of ourselves and being healthy. So I think, if anything, the one thing we’re all really trying to do is be the healthiest version of ourselves.”
