Mari Pepin Shares Before-and-After Photos of Breast Augmentation and Answers Fan Questions
Keeping it real.
Bachelor Nation fans saw Mari Pepin and Kenny Braasch find love and get engaged on Season 7 of “Bachelor in Paradise.”
Since then, the two have been keeping fans updated with their lives on social media, and Mari just got vulnerable with her followers.
Earlier this week, she took to her YouTube channel and documented her experience getting breast augmentation surgery in Puerto Rico, where her family and fiancé Kenny helped her recover.

Now, Mari is sharing before-and-after photos as well as answering fan questions about her procedure.
One fan asked Mari what her cup size was before and after her breast augmentation, and she said, “I’m now a C! My bra size was 32A before, but I stopped wearing bras a long time ago and I’m not gonna go back now. Bra sizes aren’t the best measurement tool anyway!”
Another person asked Mari if she’ll be able to breastfeed one day and she said she will.
The Bachelor Nation star shared her before-and-after pics and wrote, “Yes!!! My incisions are down here for that reason. Incisions around the areola can affect breastfeeding and are usually done for women who are finished having children or women who know they don’t want to/won’t be breastfeeding in the future.”
Mari’s plastic surgeon Dr. Diana Avilés Castillo also shared photos and videos on her page of Mari’s results before and after.
The Bachelor Nation star shared in her vlogs why it’s been so important for her to share her breast augmentation journey with her followers.
Mari said, “Aside from just wanting to be transparent and upfront with you all about, I think this is something I want to be honest about because I have a platform. I know that my platform and what I put out there can affect people. I never want to be someone who portrays a false image of idealized beauty or perfection, which obviously doesn’t exist.”
