When asked about her new “girls,” Kaitlyn laughed, “They’re doing great.”
“It’s so crazy because even my Instagram bio [account said] “the CEO of the sting committee.” I’ve always liked my small breasts. And it’s something when I was about to turn 40, [I thought]“You know what? I can still have small breasts and get implants.”

The reality beauty discussed her recent breast augmentation surgery on her podcast, “Off the Vine with Kaitlyn Bristowe.” Dr. Terry Dubrow of the E! Error appeared on the episode and Kaitlyn asked him questions about breast augmentation, including how long the implants are supposed to last.
Kaitlyn also compared herself to another reality star who recently opened up about getting breast implants, saying:Kylie Jenner she said her size and then everyone will want to go get it because it looks so good on kylie. Where I was like, “If you want to know my journey with this, here’s why I did it.” I talked to a doctor about it. I did a bunch of research. It literally depends on your body frame, your body anatomy. There is so much more to think about and research than just saying, “This is the size you should be and this is what you should look like.”
Katilyn showed off her natural breasts before surgery on the Hulu dating show, in which a group of virgins look for love. She and friend Colton were happy to guide the contestants on their journeys.
Her “working husband,” Colton, laughed during their joint interview: “I didn’t make it, but I commend her for it!”
