Kendall Jenner put wild plastic surgery claims to bed once and for all, claiming any ‘changes’ critics have apparently noticed are probably down to prescription medication.
The 30-year-old, who rose to fame on Keeping Up With the Kardashians, counts some of the most famous women in the world, including Kylie Jenner and Kim, Khloé, and Kourtney Kardashian, as her sisters.
Alongside modelling for the likes of Marc Jacobs, Fendi, and Victoria’s Secret, Jenner has appeared in campaigns for Calvin Klein and Pepsi; sung a verse on Lil Dicky’s ‘Freaky Friday’; and started her own tequila brand, 818, which recently threw a star-studded party at Coachella last weekend.
Earlier this year, the American appeared on an epsiode of actor Owen Thiele’s In Your Dreams podcast where she discussed if she has ever had plastic surgery.

Data from the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) claims that nine times out of ten, people who elect to go under the knife are women.
Breast augmentation and reduction, eyelid surgery (known as a blepharoplasty), and rhinoplasty (nose jobs) are considered some of the most popular treatments.
And despite rumours, including incredibly detailed cosmetic surgery ‘breakdown’ videos on TikTok, Jenner claimed she has had none of them.
“I’ve never had plastic surgery on my face. I’ve never had any work done. The only thing I’ve done twice is baby Botox in my forehead,” she told Thiele, 29.
“I didn’t love it and I don’t love it and I consider it sometimes… if anything I did it to [minimise] fine lines.”
Jenner said it was ‘damaging’ when experts hop onto social media and talk their fans through all the apparent surgeries she’s had.
“It can affect young people in such an intresting way because they see that and they think ‘that’s what I have to do to look like that?’ And they rush and do something silly at a young age.”
Later in the conversation, she added: “The nose job allegations I’ve gotten? I would believe them if I wasn’t me. I look at old photos of me and it does look like I’ve had a nose job.
“I swear to God on everything that I love, I’ve never had a nose job,” she told Thiele.
According to Jenner, she simply ‘grew into’ her nose, and claimed that it may have changed slightly over time because she used acne medication in her youth.
“There’s a theory on TikTok that Accutane shrinks your nose and you guys, I swear to God it’s true,” she alleged.
According to Dr Amit Om, a board-certified dermatologist, prescription acne medications like Accutane cannot ‘shrink’ your nose’s bone or cartilage, so it won’t alter its actual structure.
However, he claimed in an article for Miiskin that it can make your nose smaller due to the effects it has on the skin, including reducing oil production, shrinking sebaceous glands, and decreasing inflammation and swelling.
Accutane cannot be purchased over-the-counter and must be prescribed by a consultant dermatologist due to potential side effects.
