The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Dorit Kemsley finally addressed persistent speculation about which plastic surgery procedures she's undergone over the years.

Dorit Kemsley Confirms Which Plastic Surgery She's Undergone
Dorit Kemsley has been open about having a b---- augmentation in the past.
"For the record: no nose job. No facelift. No chin implant. No cheek implants. No reconstructive anything," she said. "I’ve been very open about having my b-----s done. I never hid that. So I always found it odd that people assume I would admit to one surgery and lie about another. What would be the difference?"
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum confirmed that she's had Botox, fillers and veneers.
Kemsley recounted seeking a risky Instagram Live session when she asked a top Beverly Hills surgeon to weigh in on her nose, aiming to shut down persistent nose job rumors.
Dorit Kemsley Hasn't Shut Down Future Plastic Surgery
Dorit Kemsley and her estranged husband, Paul 'PK' Kemsley, announced their split in May 2024.
"A man I had only just met—and asked him, on camera, if he could tell whether someone had had a rhinoplasty just by looking," she recounted. "He said yes. So I had him examine my nose live. His conclusion? No signs of surgery. Was I surprised? Not remotely."
Kemsley has always favored enhancing her natural features rather than altering them completely, though she hasn't ruled out a possible surgery in the future.
"I’m not dogmatic about it," she concluded. "I’m sure I’ll wake up one day and say, 'Okay—it’s time.' And if that day comes and you ask me, I won’t pretend otherwise. Until then, I’m perfectly content aging into my own features."
