90 Day Fiance’s Elise Benson gets candid about plastic surgery after feeling ’empowered’ by Kylie going public

90 Day: Hunt for Love star Elise Benson is getting real about the new Kardashian-led era of plastic surgery transparency — and she’s all for it.

The swimsuit model and beauty influencer, who made waves when TLC’s hit dating show premiered in May, is now sounding off on the jaw-dropping trend of A-listers owning up to their cosmetic procedures.

With Kris Jenner casually name-dropping her facelift surgeon, Kylie Jenner revealing a secret boob job, and Khloé Kardashian listing her procedures in a viral clapback, Elise says the glam game has officially changed. 

‘I think it is so empowering,’ she told DailyMail.com exclusively.

She continued, ‘For years there’s been pressure in our industry to achieve impossible standards while looking all natural, and I think that them coming out — especially the Kardashians — it’s changing the narrative in such a positive way.’

When asked about Kylie’s now-viral TikTok where she detailed her breast augmentation — ‘445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!! Silicone!!!’ — Elise took a page from the makeup mogul’s book and got just as candid.

‘I actually saw that TikTok, and I’m gonna be completely honest — I got my breasts done… it must’ve been nine years ago, but to be honest with you, I don’t even remember what I got done,’ she said with a laugh. 

Elise went on to praise Kylie’s honesty, saying, ‘I think it’s so beautiful that she’s sharing it and empowering, and everyone who is viewing is like, “Oh, if she can share it, then we can share it.” And it’s not this hidden secret.

‘So to be able to own it and just be, “Yeah, I got surgery. Hell yeah.’” I give her so much credit. 

‘And it makes so many other girls in this society — even guys — feel empowered to talk about it. And it shouldn’t be shameful.’

Just days before Kylie’s candid TikTok confession about her breast augmentation, momager Kris revealed she had turned to celebrity plastic surgeon Dr. Steven M. Levine — known as the ‘facelift maestro’ — to achieve her refreshed new look.

Kris previously admitted to having a breast augmentation in the 1980s after having four children, though she later opted for ‘smaller’ implants and a ‘lift.’ 

Her earlobe surgery also aired on Keeping Up with the Kardashians in 2018. 

Following in Kris and Kylie’s footsteps — and fresh off her appearance at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s star-studded wedding in Italy — Khloe received praise from aesthetician Dr. Jonny Betteridge, who dubbed her the ‘standout face’ of the event.

When asked what Kylie or Khloe’s next plastic surgery tweak might be, Elise kept it light — and totally Kardashian-loyal

Betteridge pointed out that Khloe’s appearance has ‘changed a lot over the past few years,’ speculating her transformation likely included a ‘temporal brow lift,’ rhinoplasty, lip filler, and a face and neck lift.

Khloe took it all in stride, replying the next day with a detailed rundown of what procedures she’s had done — naming doctors and service providers.

When asked whether stars like the Kardashians being more open about procedures creates pressure to follow suit, Elise told DailyMail.com she doesn’t see it that way. 

‘I’ve never really had shame in admitting what I’ve had done. I think being transparent leads to empowerment, especially for women,’ she explained. 

‘I don’t feel like there’s pressure. I feel if anyone was to ask me, I would be completely transparent about it.’

She added, ‘Obviously I am not nearly as big as them, so there is not as much pressure on me, but it, but it helps me feel more confident and it’s almost giving me the green light to talk about it as well.’

‘Listen, whatever they do is like the next thing that I wanna do,’ she quipped.

‘They’ve done it all. Literally, everything. So listen, they’re like 20 million steps ahead of me and know the best of the best. 

‘So I’m learning from them.’ 

In the meantime, Elise — who’s won over fans with her honesty on 90 Day: Hunt for Love — says she’s embracing the Kardashian-led shift toward transparency as she continues her own beauty journey.

‘It’s super empowering,’ she said. ‘Beauty at the end of the day is owning your choices in making you feel your best.’
