Amidst swirling rumors and expert analysis, Kylie Jenner finds herself at the center of a cosmetic surgery debate.
Photos and critiques from the 2023 Met Gala have fueled speculations about Kylie Jenner’s altered appearance, possibly due to cosmetic enhancements, Daily Mail reported.
Kylie Jenner, a 27-year-old influencer and self-made billionaire, was scrutinized at the 2023 Met Gala for her notably slimmer arms and a mysterious scar on her armpit. The images leading to conjectures surfaced across various social media channels, propelling a wave of public speculation.
Users on social platforms suggested that Jenner might have undergone several liposuction sessions targeting her arms and back. Questions about the nature of the scar also arose, linking it to potential breast augmentation procedures.
As Jenner's physical transformation became a hot topic online, the armpit scar drew particular attention. Some speculated it could be linked to cosmetic surgeries previously undergone by Jenner.
Dr. Usman Qureshi, an aesthetics specialist, expressed doubts on Instagram about the authenticity of Jenner’s toned appearance being solely due to Pilates. He posited that Jenner might have engaged in procedures such as BodyTite to achieve such results.
"Have you seen Kylie Jenner's arms? She claims it's just by pilates. I don't think there's any way pilates alone can achieve this," said Dr. Qureshi. "I think she has probably had liposuction, bodytite, or a similar procedure."
Moreover, prices for private liposuction surgery in the UK range from £2,000 and £6,000, making it a considerable investment for aesthetic alterations.
Last year, Dr. Andrew Peredo also chimed in with speculations about Jenner's cosmetic history, suggesting the possibility of facial enhancements such as liposuction on her jaw and a buccal fat reduction.
Following her appearance at Paris Fashion Week in January, online commentary noted Jenner's aged look compared to her actual age. A social media user remarked, "What did Kylie Jenner do to her face? I just read she's only 26 but she looks old as hell here."
The recurring theme in media reflects the broader conversation about the impacts of the long-term use of fillers and cosmetic surgery on youthful appearance.
Despite the criticisms, Jenner’s personal life continues to attract significant attention. She is currently dating actor Timothée Chalamet, which further keeps her in the public eye.
Jenner has previously admitted to undergoing cosmetic procedures, including lip fillers and breast augmentation, during her teenage years. However, reflecting on those choices, she has expressed regret, particularly advising against breast augmentation before having children.
"This is hard to say because she went from looking young and having some baby weight on her face to now being a woman," Dr. Peredo remarked. "She could have done a little bit of buccal fat reduction in the cheeks to help reduce them a bit. And she could have had some liposuction on her jaw to give some definition, but it is hard to tell," added Dr. Peredo.
As public discourse continues, the intersection of celebrity culture and cosmetic surgery remains a significant point of discussion, highlighting the societal pressures and personal choices prominent in today’s aesthetic-driven world.
