While they are known for their reality TV success on The Kardashians, the famous family is also well-known for being proponents of plastic surgery and cosmetic enhancements, especially the youngest, Kylie Jenner. There have been times when Kylie has shared certain pictures on social media that looked like she had cheek implants or fillers. The makeup mogul is known for enhancing her looks from time to time.
The Kardashians Kylie Jenner's plastic surgery journey began when she was around 17 years old when she got lip fillers. Over time, Kylie’s body appeared to change. Her nose became slimmer, her buttocks became rounder, and her bust grew significantly. However, the changes in Kylie's appearance are quite inexplicable otherwise. All in all, experts also have a hard time believing Kylie had very little done after looking at her pictures.
2017: Kylie Jenner Admits To Lip Fillers
One of the most notable things about Kylie's change in appearance over the years is her lips. For a long time, the Kylie Cosmetics founder denied that she had lip fillers or received any cosmetic lip procedures. However after much speculation, Kylie, who is keeping her son private, finally came clean during an episode of Life of Kylie via People. The makeup mogul said, “I was 15 and I was insecure about my lips. I have really small lips. And it was like one of my first kisses and a guy was like, ‘I didn’t think you would be a good kisser because you have such small lips.’" she said. His words affected Kylie deeply, which led her to get fillers. Kylie then explained, “I would over-line my lips with the lip liner to create the illusion of bigger lips and then, finally, I was like, this lip liner isn’t doing it and ended up getting my lips done.”
2017: Kylie Jenner Denied She Got A Buttock Augmentation
Over the years, Kylie’s body has become curvaceous on top and bottom. Kylie, who is always facing criticism online, repeatedly stated that her changing body is due to puberty and that the world is judging her for simply growing up and becoming an adult. In 2016, Kylie said in a video shared by US Weekly, "[I haven’t had] a** implants." She continued, "I used to be 120 [pounds]. I was really skinny. Now I’m pushing, like, 136. But it’s all right, I like the chunkiness.” With that said, it is pretty undeniable that Kylie’s derriere area has gotten a lot bigger while her waist has only become smaller. Kylie has admitted to using waist trainers like her sisters Kim, Khloé, and Kourtney Kardashian, who is married to Travis Barker. Plastic Surgeon Dr. Lyle Beck told Hollywood Life that Kylie's bum could have had work done. "Essentially none of these possible factors are in support of Kylie’s current buttock shape and size by any ‘natural means.'" He explained that to get a round bottom with a small waist in such a short time frame, Kylie would have to live at the gym and eat a high-calorie diet. Generally, specialists in the field speculate that she transferred body fat from certain places to other places, thus enhancing her hourglass shape.
2018: Kylie Jenner Had Her Fillers Removed, Then Put Back
Around July 2018, Harpers Bazaar reported that Kylie removed her lip fillers. In the Instagram photo above, Kylie's lips look smaller when compared to other photos taken around that time, but it didn't last long. The reality TV star quickly went back on her decision and wanted her fuller lips back. After a few months, with the support of Kyle's best friends, she reportedly got her lips touched up and thanked her doctor for doing so. Today, they have more volume than ever.
Kylie Jenner Has Never Admitted To Rhinoplasty
When Kylie was younger, her nose was somewhat thicker in the middle. This can be seen in older pictures that she has on Instagram. Today, Kylie’s nose is significantly thinner, which could possibly mean that Kylie's surgery list includes rhinoplasty or some kind of nose procedure. Insider noted that Kylie denies major surgical changes, saying, "I'm terrified! I would never. They don't understand what good hair and makeup and, like, fillers, can really do."
2019: Kylie Jenner Likely Had A Breast Argumentation
Back in 2015, Kylie's breasts became noticeably larger when the reality TV star would’ve been 17 or 18 years old. However, Kylie couldn’t have changed that much as a result of puberty in less than a year. Nonetheless, Kylie denied having any work done to her breasts. She claims that when she isn’t wearing a bra, she uses tape to hold up her bust. In a video post on Entertainment Tonight from 2015, Kylie said, "I don't really share this with a lot of people, but everyone thinks I've gotten a breast augmentation recently. I haven't. I just use the Bombshell by Victoria's Secret." Dr. Andrea Giannitrapani sat down with Elle in 2019 and gave his professional opinion on Kylie's changing look. "There is a clear size increase to Kylie's breasts," he said. He continued, "They have the characteristics of a breast enlargement in the early stages of healing and look as though they still need time to settle."
2023: Other Possible Enhancements Kyle Jenner Got
Just like the other members of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, Kylie is also fond of using other enhancements to manipulate her appearance. To name a few examples, Kylie dyes her hair, gets nail extensions, uses wigs, and, of course, she’s a makeup expert. Even though these things are not permanent changes to her body, they do allow The Kardashians star to portray a certain look that is unique and distinct.
