Listen, Kylie Jenner has something she wants to get off her chest.
‘445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!!!! Silicone!!! Garth Fisher!!!’ announced the make-up mogul, reeling off the particulars of her boob job on TikTok last month, along with a shout-out to her surgeon. It was as if she was reciting a McDonald’s order.
It’s quite a departure from the days when she furiously denied getting lip fillers. Back in 2015, her eponymous lip-kit sold out within seconds of hitting the market – their sales buoyed, in large part, by her insistence that it was the secret to her inflated pout.
Spoiler alert, it wasn’t.
But Kylie’s not the only one to be suddenly struck down by a bout of honesty. In recent weeks, a growing band of the nipped and tucked have become a little looser-lipped over their enhancements.
‘I take it as a great compliment,’ gushed half-sister Khloe Kardashian in response to an Instagram Reel posted by cosmetic surgeon Dr Jonathan Betteridge, in which he speculated over the work that might have gone into her impressively snatched glow at Jeff Bezos’ Venetian wedding.

Setting the record straight, the 41-year-old happily detailed her haul: nose job, laser hair removal, Botox, Sculptra, filler and ‘collagen baby threads’ (Betteridge has since said he believes she left a full face and neck lift off the list).
Not to be outdone, Shark Tank’s 78-year-old Barbara Corcoran (three face lifts, one neck lift, eye lift and brow lift) declared she was copying ‘the cool kids’ with her big reveal, which includes… ear filler.
Apparently, she has had the procedure done four times a year.

Then there’s the TikTok influencers. Brooke Schofield, 28, recently appeared on screen gormlessly parading bruised eyes from eye lift surgery like a badge of honor.
Meanwhile, makeup artist Alexis Oakley, 27, showed off her bandage-swaddled boobs while updating followers on the challenges of mixing a dressing into salad while trying to minimize post-operative chest jiggle.
Fans can’t seem to get enough of these surgical shopping lists and faux relatability. They’ve been lapping up the celebs’ ‘brave’ candor as if, behind it all, they weren’t still peddling an identikit aesthetic and skewed beauty ideals.
‘Thanks for keeping it real, Barbara! I so love your page,’ came one response to an Instagram post showing a reclining Corcoran being treated with injectables.
‘You’re inspiring in every way’ trilled another. Dear oh, dear, you could be forgiven for thinking the investor worth $100 million had just scaled the face of The Eiger, rather than topping up her own.
Forgive me if I’m not inclined to take all this ‘honesty’ at face-value.
A wise person once observed that when a man marries his mistress, a vacancy opens up. Similarly, when a celebrity shares a secret there’s usually another, far dirtier one, ready to slide into its place.
I’m talking about Ozempic, the ubiquitous fat-shredding drug of choice for the A-list elite. It’s made short shrift of many a ‘body positive’ icon, turning them into an elfin shadow of their former, fulsome self. But when it comes to celebrities willing to ‘fess up to taking the fat-busting jabs, it’s been slim pickings.
Oprah Winfrey, Meghan Trainor, Amy Schumer and Rebel Wilson remain part of a very select few to admit to using the slimming aid.
Once voluptuous influencer Remi Bader (eventually) coughed up the truth after a year and a half of suspicion, during which she lost a third of her body weight – by which time her admission was less a startling revelation, more a statement of the glaringly obvious.
Meanwhile, stars who have merely dabbled have been quick to qualify and minimize their use. From Chelsea ‘I didn’t realise I was taking it’ Handler, to Kelly ‘It helps with my blood work’ Clarkson.
Others still, including several Kardashians, face mounting speculation.

Fans branded 67-year-old matriarch Kris Jenner ‘Ozempic Queen’ on Instagram last summer in response to a picture that saw her slim frame swamped in a Balenciaga sports top.
The momager has denied using Ozempic and other weight loss medications, but she has been happy to name-check her plastic surgeon. A Jenner rep confirmed in a statement that ‘Dr Steven Levine did Kris Jenner’s recent work,’ without specifying the procedure.
Indeed, she arrived at Lauren Sanchez’s Parisian bachelorette party looking uncannily like her own daughters.
Speaking of which, Khloe has long been dogged by speculation over how she acquired her so-called ‘revenge bod.’
‘Let’s not discredit my years of working out,’ she once begged fans. ‘I get up five days a week at 6 am to train. Please stop with your assumptions.’
Kudos to Khloe for doing the heavy lifting. But perhaps others would rather simply lift the lid on their Botox, fillers or surgeries.
After all, it’s the ultimate deflection from the less socially acceptable beauty ‘hack’ of having your ‘will-power’ delivered in a vial.
‘If I’m this upfront about what I’m doing to my face,’ goes the logic, ‘why would I lie about fat jabs?’
But in a world in which cosmetic surgery has become an acceptable norm, ‘confessing’ to having had it isn’t transparency, it’s often a smokescreen.
