Kylie Jenner’s Backless Gown Exposes Hidden Scar, Fuels Plastic Surgery Speculation
Kylie Jenner’s latest backless gown at the 2026 LACMA Art+Film Gala on November 7 revealed a scar beneath her left breast. The 29-year-old wore an animal-print gown from French fashion house Ashi Studio. Some observers speculated the mark could be linked to plastic surgery.
According to The U.S. Sun, Jenner appeared “unaware” that her dress revealed the scar. The mark first caught attention in July 2025. Backgrid photographed Jenner during a beach trip to Saint-Tropez, France. She wore a white bikini while swimming with her sister, Kendall Jenner.
According to The Mirror US, one picture showed a reddish mark beneath her breast. Fans began guessing whether it was linked to another cosmetic procedure. Jenner has previously opened up about her breast augmentation. In her June 2, 2025 TikTok video, Leary described Jenner’s breasts as having the look she wanted.
She called them the “most perfect, natural-looking b— job ever.” Jenner noticed the video and replied in the comments section. Her reply revealed her implant size, placement, and type. She named a Beverly Hills surgeon, too. She wrote, “445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!! silicone!!! garth fisher!!! hope this helps lol.”
According to The U.S. Sun, plastic surgeon Dr. Vivek Bansal discussed possible procedures involving Jenner’s face and body in 2025. “While only Kylie can confirm specifics, her evolving facial structure suggests she may have had dermal fillers, lip enhancement, possible rhinoplasty, and non-surgical contouring,” the RealSelf-verified surgeon said.
He added, “Her body changes may also reflect fat transfer procedures or body sculpting, which are common among celebrities.” Bansal also discussed the possible size increase from her implants. He said they “generally equates to roughly a 1.5 to 2-cup size increase.” The result depends on body frame and existing breast tissue.
Another plastic surgeon, Dr. Yannis Alexandrides, shared his thoughts. “Kylie is a very attractive lady, it’s my impression that in addition to the Breast Augmentation that she might have had a Rhinoplasty to refine the nose to reduce the appearance of the tip,” he said.
“It’s possible that she’s also had fillers to her lips and possibly the zygomatic prominence. As well as chin and jaw remodeling either surgically or with dermal fillers to give her a more V-shaped appearance,” Alexandrides continued. This isn’t the first time Jenner’s scars have caught attention. She also has a long scar running down her thigh. Photographers noticed it at NBC’s Golden Globes after-party in January 2017.
According to People, the scar came from a childhood accident. Jenner explained it during a 2011 fan Q&A with Celebuzz. “When I was about five, my sister and I were playing hide-and-seek, and I hid inside this really tall enclosed gate,” she said.
She added, “After a while, when my sister didn’t find me, I had to climb up on this sharp pole sticking out from the gate. I slipped and the pole went into my leg. I tried pulling away to get the pole out, but it just tore through my whole leg.” Jenner has never intentionally tried to hide the childhood scar. In 2015, she shared a picture of it on Instagram. Her caption read, “I love my scar!”
