Kylie Jenner is one of the most successful young women in the world. Her billion-dollar cosmetics company has set her up for long-term success, while her regular appearances on the family reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians keeps her name in the headlines.

Jenner has grown up in the spotlight, and ever since she was ten years old, has been under intense scrutiny. In spite of her evident success, Jenner has struggled with her looks and many fans speculate that she has undergone many plastic surgeries.

Recently, some fans on Reddit speculated about what might happen when her young daughter, Stormi Webster, realizes the extent of Jenner’s insecurities.

Kylie Jenner was introduced to audiences in 2007 when Keeping Up with the Kardashians first premiered on television. As the youngest child in the Kardashian-Jenner clan, many people looked to Jenner to see how she would react to the excess around her.

It didn’t take long before Jenner began to craft the image she wanted. She went through several phases, from brightly-colored hair to crop tops and rock chic.

Still, Jenner wasn’t as confident as she appeared on television. She later admitted that she was very insecure about certain of her features, including what she described as her “thin lips.”

Jenner also stated that she would use cosmetics to attempt to enhance her lips: “I just didn’t feel desirable or pretty. I really wanted bigger lips. I would overline my lips with lip liner just to create the illusion of bigger lips.”

It wouldn’t be long before Jenner decided to take things to the next level and do something more permanent to plump her lips.

How many surgeries has Kylie Jenner had?

Kylie Jenner eventually decided to get fillers in her lips, a more lasting solution to give her the full pout that she wanted. Over the years, her appearance has changed drastically, in addition to her larger lips.

In fact, she doesn’t even look like the same person who first appeared on Keeping Up with the Kardashians more than twelve years ago. While some of this can be attributed to puberty, many plastic surgeons, as well as fans, have speculated that she has gotten chin and jaw reconstructive surgery, breast enhancement surgery, and several other procedures to enhance her figure.

Still, Jenner has always denied having any major surgeries and has only ever copped to having her lips done and fillers injected into her face. Whatever the truth of the matter, there’s no doubt that when comparing pictures of Jenner from years ago to the present day, she barely looks like the same person. 

Will Kylie Jenner’s surgeries affect her daughter later in life?

Recently, fans on Reddit speculated about Jenner’s surgeries and how they might impact her young daughter in the future. The original poster solicited responses, wondering how Stormi Webster might reconcile the fact that her mother’s looks have changed so much over the years.

Many fans replied, a few saying that it might be a totally normal thing for Stormi since so many people in her circle will have had plastic surgery and that she might not even give it a second thought.

One poster stated that an issue could arise from the fact that Stormi seems to share many of the same facial characteristics that Jenner was so insecure about, and that in itself could cause some psychological ramifications for her.

It could certainly lead to self-esteem issues and might cause her to want to turn to plastic surgery in order to “correct” what she sees as physical flaws. Although Jenner might not want her daughter to pursue plastic surgery, she wouldn’t have much ground to refuse her.

Still, physical alterations within the Kardashian-Jenner family seem fairly normal, so Kylie Jenner might not even mind if her daughter wants to change or “enhance” her looks when she gets older.
