Kylie Jenner Opens Up About Breast Augmentation on TikTok

New York, NY — Kylie Jenner shared her recent breast augmentation details on TikTok this week, a surprising move for a celebrity usually associated with secrecy around cosmetic procedures. Known for her role on ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians,’ Jenner responded to a fan’s request for specifics about her surgery, providing the exact size and type of her implants.

“445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!!!! silicone!!! garth fisher!!! hope this helps lol,” she wrote, a comment that has since been deleted. Her casual and upbeat tone caught many fans off guard, as most celebrities tend to discuss such topics with reluctance.

Many social media users praised Jenner’s openness. One TikTok user described her as “the people’s princess for real,” while fashion publications like Harper’s Bazaar celebrated her as part of a new era of transparency in plastic surgery.

Kylie’s mother, Kris Jenner, has similarly acknowledged cosmetic procedures, recently confirming that her own facial transformation was done by Dr. Steven Levine. Other celebrities have also publicized their cosmetic procedures, with Kelly Ripa and Amy Schumer sharing their experiences on social media.

Despite the praise, critics argue that Jenner’s comments could promote unrealistic beauty standards and trivialize serious health risks associated with cosmetic surgery. In fact, the number of breast augmentations has risen in the U.S., with records showing 433,000 procedures performed in 2023, but so has the rate of breast implant removals.

Earlier, Kylie expressed regret over her decision to undergo augmentation, saying on ‘The Kardashians,’ “I had beautiful breasts… I just wish, obviously, I never got them done to begin with.” This admission highlights the ongoing conversation about body image and the consequences of cosmetic procedures.

Author Elise Hu noted that Jenner’s admission reflects societal norms around beauty and economic capital tied to appearance. “Beauty imperatives aren’t victimless,” Hu wrote, emphasizing the pressure many women face regarding their looks.
