She debuted as Caitlyn Jenner on the cover of Vanity Fair earlier this week.
But the 65-year-old's new face came with a price tag, one estimated to be in the realm of $70,000.
On Sunday night's episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Khloe and her sisters hint at Bruce preparing to undergo 'facial feminization surgery' and the following morning the world finally met Caitlyn.
Plastic surgeon Dr David Alessi speculated about the cost of the procedure in an interview with Page Six.
Dr Alessi, who is based in Los Angeles, performs nearly a dozen similar surgeries each year, which softens certain characteristically male features and adding a few feminine touches.
Alessi told the publication that he believes Bruce underwent six procedures to get Caitlyn's face.
Among the surgeries he claims that the former decathlete underwent Rhinoplasty, which runs anywhere between $9k to $15k.
Then a facial rejuvenation surgery that often costs in the neighbourhood of $25,000.
Alessi also think that Caitlyn has had a brow lift (around $12k), cheek implants ($6K-$8K), Adam's apple shave ($6K-$10K), and Botox ($800).
The total amount the surgeon estimates the cost of all the procedures is around $70,000.
In addition, most patients who undergo similar procedures get yearly touch ups and tweaks, to maintain their appearance - and Alessi thinks Caitlyn will be no different.
He also believes that Caitlyn will want other procedures down the road, including liposuction to have a more hourglass shape.
