Aside from a comical storyline on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, where in an attempt to hush long-standing rumours that her famously large derriere was the result of butt implants Kim Kardashian subjected herself to an x-ray on camera, the Kardashian Jenners rarely open up about what procedures they have – or haven’t – undegone.

But with 70-year-old matriarch Kris Jenner making headlines in recent weeks for her age-defying facelift, it seems the perfectly-sculpted family has decided to turn over a new leaf of transparency when it comes to talking about nips, tucks and lifts. 

Kylie Jenner, the youngest of the five sisters, stunned fans this week when she replied to TikToker Rachel Leary’s public plea to know the exact specifications of Jenner’s breast augmentation, even sharing the name of the doctor she used. 

While catching us off guard in its delivery, Jenner's comment confirms something we’ve all known to be true – not even the Kardashian Jenners can look like the Kardashian Jenners without a little help. 

Earlier this week, Leary, a British TikTok creator, posted a public callout in good humour, asking Kylie Jenner to share the specific details of her breast augmentation. 

“Girl, please can you tell us what it is you asked for when you had your boobs done?” She says. 

“To me, you’ve 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.”

To Leary’s, and everyone on TikTok’s sheer surprise, Jenner replied within a day from her verified TikTok account, dishing the deets of her ‘natural looking’ augmentation for all. 

“445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!! silicone!!! garth fisher!!! hope this helps lol,” writes the 17-year-old celeb. 

Since dropping her details, Jenner has been praised for her transparency and prompt reply. 

“Never saved something so fast in my life,” writes one fan. “I love this. I didn’t even know you could get half under the muscle! She a girl’s girl for sure,” echoes another. 

A girl’s girl, for her girl

This refreshing transparency, rarely seen by celebrities as famous as Jenner, seems to be a reflection of the star’s journey into motherhood.

Having her own daughter has seemingly forced the cosmetics mogul and reality star to face her long-standing insecurities head-on, with Jenner opening up about her changing attitude on body modifications on a 2023 episode of her family’s show. 

After refusing to comment for years on the ongoing speculation that she had had work done, Jenner revealed that prior to falling pregnant with her daughter, Stormi, at 19, she had indeed undergone a breast augmentation procedure – a decision she regrets. 

“I got my breasts done before Stormi, not thinking I would have a child when I was 20. Like, they were still healing,” Jenner shares regretfully, “I had beautiful breasts. Just gorgeous.

Perfect size, perfect everything. And I just wish, obviously, I never got them done to begin with.”

Years on, and now mother of seven-year-old Stormi, Jenner also shared a desire to be a good example for her daughter, “I wish I could be her and do it all differently because I wouldn’t touch anything.”

A plastic surgeon weighs in

Of course, while Jenner’s transparency in a world of celebrity gatekeeping is definitely something worth praising, experts say it’s important that fans seeking a breast augmentation of their own don’t mistake Jenner’s comment for the advice and recommendations of a professional. 

“When you look at what she had done and then with breast augmentation in general, you have to caution patients a little bit. Just because she had 445 ccs doesn’t mean another person who got 445 ccs would have the same result that she has, because with implants, you need a match to the patient’s anatomy,” Dr David Shafer, a double board-certified plastic surgeon and founder of Shafer Clinic Fifth Avenue in NYC, tells Glamour.

“I like to talk to patients about their goals and expectations. I love to see inspirational pictures. So their inspiration board, bring a picture of Kylie, or maybe bring a picture of somebody where they don’t like how it looks,” suggests the seasoned surgeon.
