Kim Kardashian Says Kylie Jenner Was 'Insecure' About Lips for Years

Timothy White/E! (LOS ANGELES) — Kim Kardshian encouraged her youngest sister, Kylie Jenner to admit she had temporary lip fillers after previously denying that she’d undergone the procedure. The reality star said the implants helped the 17-year-old tremendously.

“I saw how for so many years she was so insecure about [her lips,]” Kim told Access Hollywood. “I mean, at 10 years old, she would say to me, ‘How come my lips aren’t big like you guys?’

“I gave her the advice and I still stand by that advice,” Kim said of encouraging her sister to come forward and admit she had work done.

The reality star said the implants “changed her confidence so much.”

Kylie, along with her older sister Kendall Jenner, 19, grew up on the reality series, Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Kim said she doesn’t worry about them because they understand life outside of Hollywood.

“I think that is just their reality,” Kim explained. “But they know when things are normal. They know that all their friends aren’t going on private jets. They know that they are growing up with a life of privilege, but they are super grounded and responsible.”
