Kylie Jenner fans have shared their shock after spotting scars from the reality star’s boob job.

The 27-year-old, known for her incredible hourglass figure, has openly admitted that she has had breast augmentations in the past, getting her first surgery when she was just 19 years old.

In new photos, Kylie – who is dating actor Timothée Chalamet – was seen hitting the beach in St Tropez with sister Kendall in a white bikini and sarong, wading through the water as she walked in the sand.

But as she looked out to sea, one telltale photo revealed she has surgery scars underneath her bust.

One fan shared the picture on Reddit, with the blunt caption: “Owww / ewwww that scar! Why would you do that to yourself”

However, while the cruel title was mostly ignored by fellow Redditors, speculation soon grew over what she had done, and why fans hadn’t seen the scars before.

One wrote: “I used to wonder how she didn’t have any scars on her social media because she clearly had a boob job early on. Than I realised, duh, they’re edited”

Others believed that the red scarring is from a newer surgery, and as a result hasn’t healed yet.

“I actually don’t think this is from putting in the implants. It looks too long. It might be a mastopexy (breast lift) scar,” said one.

“As someone who has had their breasts done, my scar is TINY and way less noticeable than this. This looks fresh,” noted another.

While a third said: “The scar sucks for sure, but I think a lot of us would have some sort of augmentation if we could afford to. Not as extreme as Kylie, but I’d definitely tweak a few things.”

The new photos come after Kylie admitted regretting getting her first boob job when she was so young – and encouraged others to avoid it.

Speaking on The Kardashians reality show back in 2024, Kylie said: “I had beautiful breasts. Just gorgeous.

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

The star teared up as she said: “I wish I never got them done to begin with. I recommend anyone thinking about it to wait [until] after children.”

However, the star has learned to be open about the work she has had done in the past, even taking to TikTok this June to respond to a fan who asked her for more information on the type of surgery she had.

Taking the question like a champ, Kylie responded: “445cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!!!! silicone!!! garth fisher!!! hope this helps lol.”
