Reality star takes to her blog to set the record straight

Kylie Jenner may be only 18 years old, but if one is to believe ongoing reports online, she’s already had more plastic surgery than many women twice her age, celebrities or not. In a new post on her recently launched blog (and app), Kylie sets the record straight: she’s had no work done, but she did gain some weight.

It’s been over 2 years now that the reality star has had to periodically deny talk of plastic surgery. She insists that the only work she has so far is lip fillers, about which she came clean after months of speculation, on the family’s reality show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

Weight gain, not plastic surgery

Kylie says that whatever differences in perception on her body there are, they are due to weight gain and the many tricks she uses, whether it’s makeup or clothing.

A few days ago, for instance, she told her fans that she loved to create the impression of a more generous cleavage with the help of a good push-up padded bra. She also swears by contouring, both on her face and on her cleavage, thus relying on makeup products to achieve the impression of volume.

“No, people - I haven’t gotten breast implants!” she writes. “Everyone is obsessed with that. Truth is, as I’ve gotten older, I’ve gained 15 pounds [6.8 kg] and my body has changed; I’ve definitely filled out.”

She insists that she’s “not against plastic surgery” and would never say she’d never get work done. Until that happens, though, she promises to remain candid with her fans on the topic, while promising them “there are things you can do to work on problem areas without having to think about plastic surgery. (Contouring has changed my life!)”

The little girl who cried wolf

Rumors online say that Kylie has had a lot of stuff done, from breast and buttock implants, to fillers, regular Botox and surgery on her face, particularly her nose and eyebrows.

Many of these reports are based on before and after photo comparisons, which highlight a huge difference not explainable by makeup or good padding. None of these comparisons use photos from her social media accounts or fashion shoots, because it is a well-known fact that these are heavily retouched.

Considering that Kylie lied to the fans and the media for many months about her lip injections, many are having trouble believing she’s telling the truth now. It’s a classic case of the little boy girl who cried wolf.

If you recall, she used to claim that her fuller pout was either the result of cleverly applied makeup (overlining the lips and filling in with lipstick), or of her new way of pouting when posing for photos.
