Kaitlyn Bristowe Gets Candid About Her Recent Plastic Surgery: ‘Ask Me Anything’

Opening up.
Bachelor Nation fans got to know and love Kaitlyn Bristowe on Season 19 of “The Bachelor” and Season 11 of “The Bachelorette.”
The former Bachelorette keeps us all updated on her social media pages and podcast, and last month, Kaitlyn took to Instagram to reveal that she had an upper bleph surgery, aka an eyelid lift.
Shortly after, she took to her Instagram to respond to negativity about her supposedly changing appearance.
Now Kaitlyn has decided to open up about her surgery and why she decided to have it.
In a video she posted online, she said, “Hi my name’s Kaitlyn Bristowe and I got an upper bleph. Let’s talk about it.”

She pointed to a picture of herself from 10 years ago and shared, “As you can see, I have a very hooded lid. So I tried to overcorrect it by doing Botox where I got too much bad Botox and it actually drooped my lid even more.”
Kaitlyn then admitted why she ultimately decided to get the surgery, despite feeling like her eyelid didn’t look too bad.
She shared, “I realize it’s not that bad, but it was something that had bothered me for a very long time… I’ve also wanted to tone down the Botox, so I figured that getting a bleph would help me open that eye without getting all the Botox.”
The Bachelor Nation star also revealed that this is the first plastic surgery she’s received.

“Contrary to popular belief… this was my first ‘plastic surgery’ where I did go ‘under the knife,’” she said. “I will say overall it took from me going under to me being done, maybe 15 to 20 minutes and I had zero pain. A little bit of itching after and the stitches had to stay in for about 10 to 14 days.”
Kaitlyn then candidly noted at the end of the video that her sharing her story is not an attempt to influence at all.
She stated, “I also just wanted to say that I’m not here to influence you or make you go get one and think you need one. I’m simply just being transparent and sharing my journey.”
Fans filled the comments with love for her transparency, and fellow Bachelor Nation star Sarah Herron wrote, “👏yes! Love it when people talk about their procedures! Healing great!” Ashley Iaconetti also added, “You’re the greatest.”
We love the love for Kaitlyn and always appreciate her honesty!
