Kylie Jenner's boob job and the dark side of oversharing
The Observer
|June 08, 2025
It's hard to know, in our era of oversharing, what kind of admission from a celebrity could truly shock the public.
A secret affair? A secret sister? A country music pivot? This week, Kylie Jenner went viral for one answer: giving a detailed, revealing response to a TikTok user asking her to share the menu for the breast augmentation she had before becoming a parent in 2018.
“445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!!!! silicone!!!” Jenner commented on the video, also name-dropping the surgeon.
It’s a surprising shift. Jenner spent her teens and early 20s denying she'd had anything done before later adopting an apologetic, vaguely body-positive tone. In one episode of The Kardashians, she even spoke about her supposed regret around getting the boob job of which she has now shared the details for other women to replicate.
