Kylie Jenner, the 27-year-old reality star and beauty mogul, has recently shared specific details about her breast augmentation, responding to a fan’s request on TikTok. This candid revelation is a departure from the typical celebrity approach to cosmetic procedures, which are often speculated about but rarely openly discussed.
The TikTok Request and Kylie’s Response
The exchange began when Rachel Leary, a British YouTuber, posted a TikTok video directly addressing Jenner, seeking specifics about her breast augmentation. Leary praised Jenner’s results, saying, “To me, you have got what I am looking for to have done in terms of a boob job. It’s the most perfect, natural-looking boob job ever. They’re still big, but whatever way you had the implants, if they are implants, or if you had fat transfer, to me, it is perfection. That is what I aspire mine to look like.” Leary went on to ask, “Girl, please can you tell us what it is you asked for when you had your boobs done?”.
Jenner responded in the comments section with surprising transparency, providing exact specifications of her procedure. Her comment read: “445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!!!! silicone!!! garth fisher!!! hope this helps lol.” This included the implant size (445 cc), profile (moderate), placement (half under the muscle), material (silicone), and even the name of her surgeon, Garth Fisher, a well-known plastic surgeon based in Beverly Hills.
Fan Reactions
The directness and specificity of Jenner’s answer sparked considerable reaction among her fans and beyond. TikTok users reacted with shock and appreciation. Many praised Jenner for her honesty and openness, with comments like “She actually responded?!?” and “Queen for this.” Some fans expressed that this is why she’s “for the girls,” appreciating her willingness to share details about her cosmetic journey.
The Details of Kylie’s Breast Augmentation
Jenner’s detailed response provided valuable insights into the specifics of her breast augmentation:
- Implant Size: 445 cc (cubic centimeters). According to London’s Centre for Surgery, this size is estimated to be between a D and DD cup, although the final cup size can depend on the original breast size.
- Profile: Moderate. The profile of an implant refers to how far it projects from the chest wall. A moderate profile offers a balance between fullness and a natural look.
- Placement: Half under the muscle. This technique involves placing the implant partially under the chest muscle (pectoralis major) and partially beneath the natural breast tissue. This placement can help the implant settle better and create a more natural, teardrop-shaped appearance. Dr. Shafer explained that this helps the implant sit better and give a natural teardrop look to the breasts.
- Material: Silicone. Silicone implants are a popular choice for breast augmentation, known for their natural feel and appearance.
- Surgeon: Garth Fisher. Dr. Garth Fisher is a prominent plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, known for his work with celebrities. He has also worked with Kylie’s sisters, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian.
Kylie’s Previous Comments and Regrets
While this recent TikTok revelation marks a moment of transparency, Jenner has spoken about her breast implants in the past. In a 2023 episode of “The Kardashians,” she revealed that she underwent the procedure before giving birth to her daughter, Stormi. At the time, Jenner was 19 years old and said she hadn’t anticipated having a child so soon.
She also expressed some regrets about her decision. “I had beautiful breasts, like natural tits. Sat perfectly—just gorgeous. Like, perfect size, perfect everything. And I just wish obviously I never got them done to begin with,” she shared. Jenner added that she would recommend anyone considering breast augmentation to wait until after having children.
In an interview with the Wall Street Journal in 2023, Jenner said, “My daughter has totally taught me a lot more about myself, and seeing myself in her has changed everything. I’ve had so much growth and am just embracing natural beauty. I’m teaching her about mistakes that I made and making sure she knows she’s just perfect exactly how she is.” She told W Magazine “I got my breasts done before Stormi, not thinking I would have a child when I was 20,”. “Like, they were still healing. I had beautiful breasts. Just gorgeous. Perfect size, perfect everything. And I just wish, obviously, I never got them done to begin with.”
Addressing Facial Surgery Rumors
Jenner has also addressed rumors about extensive facial surgery, clarifying that she has primarily used fillers. “One of the biggest misconceptions about me is that I’ve had so much surgery on my face and that I was some insecure person, and I really wasn’t!” she told Homme Girls. “I’ve only gotten fillers. I don’t want that to be part of my story.”
The Broader Context: Celebrity Transparency and Plastic Surgery
Jenner’s openness about her breast augmentation raises questions about celebrity transparency regarding cosmetic procedures. Celebrities are often criticized for being secretive about plastic surgery, which can contribute to unrealistic beauty standards. Jenner herself has been open about enhancing her lips, acknowledging that it was “the best thing I’ve ever done.”
Some argue that celebrities have a responsibility to be honest about their cosmetic enhancements, given their influence on beauty ideals. Others believe that it is a personal choice and that celebrities should not be obligated to disclose such information. As someone who uses her body as a canvas to market products to the masses, is it fair that this is one of the first times Jenner has spoken publicly about it?
The Surgeon’s Perspective
Garth Fisher, Kylie’s surgeon, has a long-standing relationship with the Kardashian-Jenner family. According to Page Six, Fisher has also worked with Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian, on a cancerous facial tumour removal and a breast augmentation, respectively. He was also in charge of revising Caitlyn Jenner’s botched gender-affirming facelift surgery, and removing a cancerous tumour from Khloe Kardashian’s face in 2022. “You and your family have been dear to me for a very long time. I was so saddened that you required a procedure requiring removing of a dangerous and significant tumor from your face,” Fisher shared via Instagram. “I felt like I was operating on my own daughter. I was honored that you put your trust in my staff and me. I am tremendously relieved that we got it all out and you can now get past this. You’re beautiful and have a heart of gold.”
Conclusion: A New Era of Honesty?
Kylie Jenner’s recent revelation on TikTok could signal a shift toward greater transparency among celebrities regarding cosmetic procedures. By sharing the specifics of her breast augmentation, she has provided valuable information for those considering similar procedures. Whether this openness will become a trend remains to be seen, but it is undoubtedly a step in a new direction.
