Despite the rise of breast implant removal and breast reduction, breast augmentation remains one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures; as of 2022, it was the second-most requested procedure (just after liposuction). And as the taboo against plastic surgery fades, more and more celebrities are sharing about their own breast implants. Here, we’ve rounded up those celebs who’ve publicly shared details about their breast augmentations.
Anna Faris
The actress got a breast augmentation just as her career started to take off. In an interview with Women’s Health, she explained that she had turned 30, was in the midst of a divorce from then husband Ben Indra, and had just wrapped the movie House Bunny. “All of these new things were happening to me, so I got my breasts done,” she said, adding that she’d previously had “negative-A cups.” “It was f-cking awesome. I never, ever thought I’d do something like that. I always thought plastic surgery was caving in to ‘the man,’ you know? But it came down to a really simple thing: I wanted to fill out a bikini.”
Kylie Jenner
After years of denying it—and crediting push-up bras, weight gain, and PMS in the meantime—Jenner finally admitted to getting a breast augmentation when she was 19. In a July 2023 episode of The Kardashians, she said: “I got my breasts done before Stormi.” It’s a decision she now regrets, and in the episode, she goes on to say: “I had beautiful breasts, like, natural tits. Just gorgeous, perfect size, perfect everything. And I just wish, obviously, I never got them done to begin with. I would recommend anyone who is thinking about it to wait until after children.”
Kourtney Kardashian
While Khloé Kardashian has seriously considered breast augmentation, Kourtney Kardashian is the only Kardashian to have confirmed getting one. “I have had breast implants, but it’s so funny ‘cause it’s not a secret, I could care less,” she said in a 2011 interview. “It’s so funny because the ‘before’ picture that [In Touch magazine] showed was after I had my boob job, so I’m like, they should have written ‘before Mason’ and ‘after Mason.’ Like, my boobs have, like, tripled since breastfeeding.”
Kaley Cuoco
The Big Bang Theory star has been candid about the breast augmentation she got at 18 years old, even calling it the “best decision I ever made” in a 2014 interview. She went on to share that her breast size was something she’d never liked about her body and felt confident in her decision to change it.
Denise Richards and Sami Sheen
Model and actress Denise Richards got her breast augmentation at 19—and now, more than 40 years later, is planning to have them removed. “I didn’t know how toxic [they are] when I was 19. And it’s not an easy surgery. It’s painful!” she said in an interview. Meanwhile, Richards’s 19-year-old daughter, Sami Sheen, confirmed in a series of Instagram Stories that despite her mom’s misgivings, she’d undergone breast augmentation in mid-November. The surgery had been a long time coming: “I was 10 years old and like, ‘I can’t wait to have big boobs like my mom.’ All my friends were getting boobs, and I was just like, ‘OK, when’s it my turn?’” she recalled in the same interview.
Jessie James Decker
After having a breast reduction and lift, the singer went under the knife again, noting in an Instagram post that she didn’t love how her breasts looked postpartum. “After deciding we were done having babies, I was finally ready to go big or go home,” she wrote in the accompanying caption. “They were so big and perky before children, and I wanted them back … plus some.”
Dolores Catania
The Real Housewives of New Jersey star has been up-front about her plastic surgery procedures, which include a facelift and tummy tuck. And in 2021, she got a breast augmentation for the third time. “I didn’t like the way they felt. I thought they looked a little uneven, and I just didn’t really like the implants that I used,” she told RealSelf in an interview. (She’s one of many Real Housewives to get breast augmentation, along with RHONJ castmate Teresa Guidice, Emily Simpson, Wendy Osefo, Ashley Darby, Meghan King, and Alexia Napola, among others.)
She liked Guidice’s results better, going so far as to get the same implants and use the same plastic surgeon—and it seems to have paid off. “There aren’t too many better feelings than when you come out of surgery and realize that you chose the best doctor, everything went great, you love the way you look, and that everything you went through paid off,” Catania said. “That’s exactly how I felt, and it’s how I still feel.”
Iggy Azalea
Tired of wearing padding in her stage outfits and wearing lingerie with wiring, the Australian rapper got a breast augmentation in late 2014, after years of considering it. “Four months ago, I got bigger boobs! I’d thought about it my entire life,” she shared in a 2015 interview. She recently brought up the surgery again on an episode of Emily Ratjakowski’s podcast, High Low with EmRata, and confirmed that she has no regrets. “I changed what I wanted to change. I feel really good about them,” she said.
Cardi B
In a candid interview with Mariah Carey, the rapper talked about getting a breast augmentation as a teenager, after years of feeling self-conscious about her breasts. “Even when I was 18 and became a dancer, I had enough money to afford to buy boobs, so every insecurity that I felt about my breasts was gone,” she said, adding that she felt vindicated. She then followed the surgery with illegal butt injections (that she had removed in 2022).
Kelly Rowland
Although she was initially hesitant to talk about it, Rowland opened up about the breast augmentation she had done in 2008; she went up just one cup size, from an A to a B. “I’m so happy. I feel complete,” she said in an interview, noting that she had been sick of not fitting into her tops. “It is a decision I made for myself. I like it, and that’s all that counts.”
