In the wake of Kylie’s comments, we rounded up the Kardashians’ and Jenners’ comments on plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures through the years.

Kylie Jenner

Well, it’s 2023, and people are still talking about “the lip thing”, and although Kylie has seemingly come to terms with it by now, she appeared to struggle with publicly addressing it for years.

In a January 2015 interview with Cosmopolitan, Jenner denied surgery rumours: “You guys have watched me grow up since I was nine. My face is going to get different,” she said.

“Now, I know how to do my make-up, contour, and everything. I’m not against surgery. I’d never say no, but I don’t desire it right now.”

Despite the gossip, vitriol and obsession over Kylie’s lips, the reality star told HommeGirls this year that getting filler was the best thing she’d ever done: “I think a big misconception 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! Yeah, I love full lips and wanted full lips, but growing up I was always the most confident person in the room.”

But in a recent episode of the family’s newest show, The Kardashians, and after nearly a decade of denying speculation that she had gone under the knife, she opened up about getting a breast augmentation at age 19, and said she’d be “heartbroken” if her daughter did the same.

Kendall Jenner

In 2014, Extra told the Jenner sisters there was a “nose job” rumour circulating about Kendall. Then 18, Kendall scoffed and said, “Come on now, people … make-up does wonders. Honestly, people can make something up and really make other people believe it, and there’s not much you can do about it.”

In January 2017, after a brief hiatus from Instagram led to speculation that she’d taken time off for cosmetic procedures, Kendall shot down the rumours in an Instagram Live video: “As a model, why would I have my face reconstructed? It doesn’t even make sense,” she said.

In June 2021, Kendall told Bravo host Andy Cohen that her family didn’t perpetuate unrealistic beauty standards, saying: “We all really enjoy taking care of ourselves and being healthy. So I think if anything, the only thing we’re really trying to represent is just being the most healthy version of yourself.”

Khloé Kardashian

When one replier wrote, “The fact that she uses diabetic medicine to get this skinny is disturbing,” Koko clapped back: “Let’s not discredit my years of working out. I get up five days a week at 6am to train. Please stop with your assumptions. I guess new year still means mean people.”

The younger of the Kardashian sisters also said during Thursday’s episode of The Kardashians that her mum’s comments about her nose when she was growing up made her see the feature as a flaw.

Kim Kardashian

In 2010, Kim K detailed a Botox experience during an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians that had her convinced something had gone terribly wrong. She said her eyes were on fire, they were incredibly itchy, and she made an ice pack out of ice cubes and a cloth napkin at a Los Angeles restaurant, before saying, “The doctor did warn me about side effects,” and panicking that the doctor may have hit a nerve.

In 2018, after the world raised eyebrows at Kim’s extra-round rump, she attempted to prove its legitimacy by getting it X-rayed during an episode of KUWTK. The doctor X-rayed Kourtney’s breasts first, to show viewers what an implant looks like, and then X-rayed Kim’s backside and held up an image proclaiming, “No implants!”

In 2019, while getting her make-up done for a Mario Dedivanovic Masterclass, Kim denied going under the knife for a rhinoplasty. “I never had my nose done,” she said. “Everyone thought I did, and I said wait until I have kids because your real features come out.”

Kourtney Kardashian

In 2011, Kourtney said she regretted getting breast implants when she was 22. “I had my boobs done, but if I could go back, I wouldn’t have done it. I was so cute before,” she told Showbiz Spy in 2011. “I’ve realised that I was made to look a certain way and I’m considering removing them.”

In 2018, it was revealed that the women had visited Dr. Jason Diamond of Beverly Hills for various treatments, one of which is the platelet-rich plasma microneedling skin treatment that boosts collagen and gives the face a glow. Kourtney shared a social media video of herself receiving the treatment and said, “I take my own blood and put it into my face.”

In January 2022, in a since-expired Instagram post, Kourtney revealed a facial procedure. “I’m here doing my Le Visage Lift Contour,” she said in a video. Then, as a tool was pressed against her skin, she added that the process was “like lifting and contouring”.

Kris Jenner

“And I had a boob job in the 80s after four kids because gravity took over,” she added. “It was great for about 25 years, or 30, whatever it was, and then a couple years ago, I felt like they were too big. And I felt matronly and nothing fit any more. And suddenly it was like, ‘Get them out.’ So the same doctor who put them in, he took them out and then had to do a little lift, and then put smaller ones in.”

The reality star “momager” also said that, despite many people thinking she and her family had had their noses done, she hasn’t. “I was born with it,” she said. “They say that about all my kids – we haven’t had our noses done.” (This was said a few years before Khloé went under the knife.)

When asked during the same interview what advice she had for anyone considering plastic surgery, Kris said: “You have to do what makes you feel good. First of all, you can’t do something because somebody else wants you to do it. And then you have to do great research on the doctor that you choose.”
