Kaitlyn Bristowe, photographed by Jason Kempin/Getty Images, has become accustomed to the commentary on her appearance. However, she refuses to let detractors deter her from pursuing what makes her happy. On Saturday, February 3, the 38-year-old shared an Instagram Story showcasing a new skin treatment and reiterated her stance: “Everyone’s telling me to stop doing stuff to my face, but I love it.”
Her Breast Augmentation
Kaitlyn Bristowe revealed her plans for a breast augmentation in May 2025. “New boob goofin,” Bristowe wrote alongside the Instagram announcement at the time. “Don’t worry IBTC I may not be the CEO anymore but definitely still part of the club.”
Three months later, Bristowe shared tips for followers considering the procedure. When asked to provide input, Bristowe said during an Instagram Q&A, “Make sure you trust your Dr and give him a pic to look at while he does them.”
The next year, Bristowe posted never-before-seen photos from her breast augmentation recovery. “Happy 1st birthday boobies!!!! Open to any and all questions. Will go through and answer on my podcast. WARNING. Don’t look at last pic if you don’t wanna see open under boob with drains,” she wrote via Instagram in April 2026.
Her Eyelid Surgery
Kaitlyn Bristowe underwent an upper blepharoplasty, a cosmetic surgery that helps remove excess skin around the eyes, in 2024. She gave fans a candid look at her eyes after the procedure via Instagram at the time.
“Don’t be ridiculous Andrea, everyone wants to look like this,” Bristowe wrote at the time, alongside a selfie from her recovery.
In January 2025, Bristowe opened up about her decision to get the procedure while also sharing that her dog “clawed” her stitches.
“I tried to over correct it by doing Botox but I got too much bad Botox and it actually drooped my lid even more,” she explained, adding that she’s had lip filler, cheek filler and bonded some of her teeth in the past. “I haven’t touched my cheeks in years though.”
She continued, “I wanted to tone down the Botox so I figured that getting a bleph would help me open that eye without getting all the Botox,” Bristowe continued. “This was my first ‘plastic surgery’ where I did go ‘under the knife.’ I got a little bit of my lid skin removed.”
Bristowe shared that she felt “zero pain” during the surgery and said the “scarring is healing nicely.”
Filler in Her Lips
In 2021, Kaitlyn Bristowe addressed a post via X that claimed she looked “different” since she appeared on The Bachelor.
“Six years since I was on the show, brow lift, brow microblading, got my teeth bonded, some filler in my lips, aging, darker hair and I finally learned how to contour,” she wrote at the time. “Oh, and I put on some weight.”
Months later, Bristowe replied to a comment about her appearance — mainly regarding her lips.
“Kaitlyn, are your lips real? Yeah. Real expensive! Just like coloring my hair, using fun makeup, fake lashes, skincare, I also like a little filler and botox,” she captioned a February 2021 Instagram post. “I know I have an ‘influence.’ I’m not saying you should go do it. I’m saying do what you want with YOUR body.”
In 2023, Bristowe was asked whether she had ever considered getting a “lip flip,” to which she replied that it was the reason for her most recent trip to the med spa.
