The Moment Fans Started Noticing Kendall Jenner’s Changing Face
Back in 2012, fans started to notice a certain change in Kendall Jenner, one she completely denied.

The Kardashian-Jenners have always been linked to plastic surgery rumors. From Khloe Kardashian’s alleged “butt implants” to Kim Kardashian’s “fake” butt and Kylie Jenner’s “almost entirely fake” body — internet trolls just keep coming for them. So when Kendall Jenner — who was the remaining “natural” sister in the bunch — started looking different, fans and experts were quick to weigh in. Here’s the truth about the 818 Tequila founder’s transformation.
When Did Kendall Jenner’s Face Start To Change?
In 2012, fans started to notice that Jenner’s nose looked smaller. The following year, her face also appeared slimmer than before. By 2014, at age 19, her eyebrows became much darker and arched. Rumors of her getting subtle lip fillers started when she turned 20. All these changes started to become more obvious from 2017 to 2019. Lately, it also seems like the supermodel has had more work done on her face, including additional lip fillers. Fans can’t help but express their disappointment with her “unnatural” look.

“Why are young beautiful girls turning to plastic? Kendall Jenner was a natural beauty reminiscent of Ali McGraw who has never had plastic surgery,” tweeted a fan. “Kendall looks like her sister Kim w/ fillers, nose job, Botox and trout lips. Nothing unique or interesting about her face now. Sad.” Still, other fans were supportive of The Kardashians star’s “subtle” plastic surgery. “Kendall Jenner is a great example of this: she got a brow lift, rhinoplasty and lip injections (among other subtle procedures) to improve her appearance but she still looks like herself,” wrote another Twitter user. “She used plastic surgery to bring balance to her face although she already had a great base.”
Netizens have also slammed Jenner for her slim figure. “Idk who needs to hear this but stop comparing yourself to Kendall Jenner,” said a commenter. “She has money, surgery, lighting, photographers, editors, nutritionists, personal trainers, makeup artists etc. You have an iPhone camera. She looks unreal but that’s her job.” However, some fans noted that it’s “hypocritical” to bash the reality star for her “natural” skinny physique while attacking her sisters for their “plastic” curves. “People are literally body shaming Kendall Jenner for being ‘too skinny’ but bashing her sisters for getting surgery,” wrote a fan. “You people are stupid and confused.”
Did Kendall Jenner Get Plastic Surgery?
Dr. Alessi of the Alessi Institutes and the Face Forward foundation — who’s never treated Jenner — told Life & Style that the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star has at least had a nose job. “The lower lateral cartilage outline in the tip can be seen clearly and appears to have been reduced. The nasal bridge appears to be smaller,” said the certified plastic surgeon. “This is more than one would expect with just makeup and smiling.” A spokesperson for MYA Cosmetic Surgery also said the same thing in 2019. “Looking at pictures of Kendall, the bridge of her nose does appear thinner and more feminine,” said the expert.

“This could indicate a surgical rhinoplasty (nose reshaping) procedure, which has left her with an extremely natural and desirable profile,” they continued, adding that Jenner has had a few other procedures as well. “The cost of a Rhinoplasty procedure depends on many different physiological factors, the techniques used and the surgeon – however typically range from £6,000-£10,000. With regards to non-surgical treatments such as anti-wrinkle injections (commonly referred to as Botox) and lip fillers. If she has had these treatments, they have been performed in an extremely subtle and natural way.”
The spokesperson also confirmed that Jenner had some work done to arch her eyebrows. “Her eyebrows appear slightly lifted and arched compared to previous images, so we can speculate that she has had anti-wrinkle (Botox) injections to achieve this,” they explained. “I personally do not believe she has had lip fillers as her look continuously changes, most likely due to make up. If she has had fillers to her lips, then she has had a minimal amount and this has not affected the natural lip shape.”
What Has Kendall Jenner Said About Plastic Surgery Rumors?
In 2017, Jenner addressed the plastic surgery rumors, saying it was all baseless. “All of a sudden, photos of us came out with headlines like, ‘OMG Kendall got her lips done and got full facial reconstruction — look at her cheekbones, look at her nose!’ I was like, this is CRAZY,” she said at the time. “I didn’t even address it at the time. Because if I address it, people are going to be like, ‘Oh, so she’s defending herself — she must be guilty.'” She also argued: “As a model, why would I have my face reconstructed? It doesn’t even make sense.”

Her sister, Kylie Jenner also came to her defense after a photo of her with plumper lips went viral on social media. “You guys, Kendall let me over-line her lip today with lipliner and everyone thinks she got lip injections,” said the mother-of-two. “I’m sorry, Kendall.” The supermodel has never really confirmed or denied the latest rumors on her changing appearance. However, she did say something about her controversial figure. “My sisters are a lot curvier than me,” she told Telegraph. “They have boobs and I don’t have boobs. Growing up being this little twiggy girl, I saw my sisters and always thought, ‘Oh no am I supposed to be more sexy like them?'”
