Kylie Jenner is the latest star to regret having cosmetic surgery

UNDER THE KNIFE

ONCE upon a time she was a slip of a thing with an almost flat chest and thin lips and – well, everything was just so different to the Kylie Jenner we now know.

This one has been plumped and pumped and sculpted in all the strategic places, transforming her from a pretty girl next door into a voluptuous bombshell.

For years the youngest member of the Kardashian- Jenner clan denied she’d had work done, saying reports of her having gone under the knife were greatly exaggerated.

“People think I completely reconstructed my face, which is completely false,” she said. “They don’t understand what good hair and makeup and, like, fillers can do.”

She never said anything about getting her chest enhanced though, and it remained one of the many things people speculated about.

But the 25-year-old has finally come clean about her boobs: she did get them done – and she regrets it.

Kylie opens up about her cosmetic surgery sorrow in the season 3 finale of the DStv+ show The Kardashians, telling close friend Stassie Karanikolaou she wishes she’d “never got them done to begin with”.

She had the surgery at 19, just months before she got pregnant with daughter Stormi (5). “Within six months of like having her, not thinking I would have a child when I was 20, they were still healing,” Kylie says.

The cosmetics queen, who also welcomed son Aire last year, says she remembers her natural breasts being “just gorgeous” and says becoming a mom has changed her view on plastic surgery.

“I have a daughter. I would be heartbroken if she wanted to get her body done at 19,” she says. “She’s the most beautiful thing ever. I wish I could be her and do it all differently, because I wouldn’t touch anything.”
