When the world probably thought the Kardashian Jenner family couldn’t make headlines any
more than they already were, Caitlyn Jenner – still Bruce Jenner at the time, proved
this theory wrong.
I think that Bruce announcing his decision to become Caitlin was one of the biggest shockers
in Hollywood to date, and certainly not something people were expecting.
We first knew Bruce Jenner as an Olympic gold medalist athlete, who set records in the men’s
decathlon.
Once he was retired, then we knew him as the man of the house on Keeping up With the Kardashians.
He starred on the show since 2007 as he was husband to Kris Jenner at the time and father
to Kendall and Kylie Jenner.
The whole family was living their lives on camera, but behind closed doors, Bruce was
planning something major.
In April 2015 Bruce came out as a trans woman during an interview on 20 20 and as you probably
know, this was the same year his 23 year marriage with Kris ended.
Caitlyn is 69 years old at the time of this recording so she clearly lived many years
and a few marriages as Bruce before claiming her current identity.
Aside from Kris, Caitlyn had two previous wives and a few other children – I always
forget one of them is Brody Jenner . And something I never knew is that Bruce cross dressed for
many years prior AND took hormone replacement therapy.
He only stopped after his relationship with Kris became serious and resulted in marriage
in 1991.
Caitlyn has been called the most famous transgender woman in the world and her public experience
has definitely raised a lot of awareness.
At the moment, she has 9.3 million followers on Instagram (@caitlynjenner).
I haven’t really heard too much from Caitlyn in the last little while so maybe life has
quieted down a bit for her.
What's going on guys and girls, my name is Kara and this
series we have titled Before & After.
Today we are going to look at Caitlyn, how she’s changed, what work she’s gotten
done, and her whole transition from BRUCE to Caitlyn.
Some have even speculated that she spent MILLIONS of dollars on her entire transition.
I've done other celebrity transformation videos on the likes of Caitlyn’s EX Kris Jenner,
as well as some other icons in the trans community like Blaire White and Nikita Dragun.
We’ll have links to those at the end of this video.

I’ve also been reading all your comments and I’m going to be responding to some at
the end of this.
As always, if there is anyone else you want me to document, let me know in the comments
down below.
Now, let's get into this video.
COSMETIC WORK/ SURGERIES In June of 2015 Caitlyn debuted her new name
and look and also held a renaming ceremony.
Before the shocking 20 20 interview where Caitlyn revealed this huge change, there was
a two part special of Keeping Up With the Kardashians called About Bruce.
Here Caitlyn prepared her children for her transition and the whole lot of changes that
were about to go down both personally and private.
Since we’re focusing on Caitlyn’s physical transition here on Before and After, we’re
going to talk about all of the changes we both know and speculate that she had done.
Starting with Caitlyn’s face, changing over from Bruce was likely a lot of work.
We can guess that she got Facial Feminization surgeries which is the handful of surgeries
recommended when someone transitions from male to female.
Looking at Before photos of Bruce he still had a slightly feminine face
We know that when Caitlyn was still Bruce he got a facelift, and when you look at a
pic from 2007 and then after the face lift in 2009, he did come out looking a lot younger
Apparently Bruce already began hormone replacement therapy and started getting procedures to
transition during the Keeping Up With The Kardashian years.
Gradually Bruce started to look more feminine, and also started to grow out his hair.
In 2014 Bruce got his Adam’s apple shaved down, which is a part of Facial Feminization
surgeries and usually done in the first stage of gender reassignment.
At one point before he decided to go through with it, Bruce told TMZ that he was doing
it because “he didn’t like his trachea”.
When the media found out about his doctor’s appointment there were paparazzi ready to
take pics and at this point Bruce knew that his secret may be out.
Later on in 2014, Bruce continued to grow his hair and starting rocking the ponytail
which his fam wasn’t so fond of.
Kris said at one point: "Kendall and Kylie are on the pony patrol
as we speak trying to get rid of it.
I tried to manage it!
I think it needs its own manager."
Bruce was also spotted on his 65th birthday wearing nail polish so at this point, he was
slowly coming to terms with these changes being public.
As the public started speculating more, the magazine In Touch released a photoshopped
cover of Bruce with lipstick which made everyone furious because at this point he hadn’t
come out yet or told his story.
But finally, in 2015 was when Caitlyn revealed her identity and posed for the shocking Vanity
Fair cover saying “Call me Caitlyn”.
So I would guess Bruce was slowly transitioning to Caitlyn through all of this, and her face
got more feminine over the years.
Caitlyn got Facial Feminization surgeries which are done to soften masculine features
into a more feminine look.
Allegedly hers was a 10 hour process.
We already know that Caitlyn had a tracheal shave for the Adam’s apple.
But comparing photos of Bruce before Caitlyn, you can tell there are a lot of differences
in the face.
Way back when, Bruce had a naturally masculine face, but as time went on he lost this look.
I would guess that Bruce had quite a bit of work done aside from just one or two face
lifts.
Along with that, probably work to sculpt the neck.
Surgeries involved in facial feminization can include forehead and hairline procedures,
like reducing the brow bone, harsh angles, and moving the hairline forward.
A plastic surgeon speculated that Caitlyn had these procedures done as and probably
some cheek implants
Caitlyn’s nose started changing while she was still Bruce but it’s suspected she had
more than one nose job over the years.
These days, Caitlyn’s nose is super small and looks like she has had quite a bit of
work done to it
Some other surgeries Caitlyn may have undergone on her face during her transition could be
chin work, or jaw reshaping to change the shape and angles Caitlyn’s lips are also
super full now so it’s obvious she likely has gotten a lip lift to draw the lips closer
to the nose as well as fillers to make them bigger.
Hopefully Caitlyn doesn’t go too overboard with all the surgeries though because some
photos definitely look like she’s gotten a bit carried away.
With all of the estimated money Caitlyn spent on her transition it’s clear no expense
was spared – some tabloids even think her transition cost around 4 mill.
BODY Let’s move onto Caitlyn’s body.
So we know that Caitlyn went all out with her transition and actually got full gender
reassignment in 2017 which not every trans person opts to do because of complications
and cost.
But well get into that again in a little bit.
Bruce also had to get himself some boobs in order to become Caitlyn.
These started slowly coming in before he transitioned, during the hormone replacement therapy.
This will create gradual changes over time.
Apparently Caitlyn had her first breast augmentation and got C cups to start.
A source said that she was so obsessed with having a curvy female bod that they werent
big enough for her and then went on to increase her implants to Double Ds.
An insider claimed: “Caitlyn loves her new breast implants and
has been parading them around in all kinds of clingy tops but what she doesn’t realize
is she’s putting her health at risk”
According to some of Caitlyn’s “friends” they think the bigger implants will just bring
more headaches and health risks.
But clearly she’s loving them so they’ll just have to let her live!
GENDER REASSINGMENT NOW back to the big surgery that really marked
Caitlyn’s full transition into her new identity – her sex reassignment surgery in 2017.
Besides the facial feminization surgeries, and breast implants, Caitlyn really wanted
to feel female and decided to be very public about it.
In her book, Caitlyn writes that she completed gender reassignment surgery in January 2017.
She explains: “The surgery was a success, and I feel not
only wonderful but liberated” and also has said about it that
“I just want to have all the right parts.
I am also tired of tucking the damn thing in all
the time,"
So even though this complete transition might be scary to some or others don’t feel like
gender reassignment is right for them, it seems like it was the right choice for Caitlyn.
There are some complications to going through with a full gender change because it’s obviously
a really detailed process so it’s also expensive for that reason.
But we know money obviously wasn’t an issue for Caitlyn.
CONCLUSION Caitlyn’s transition from her old identity
of Bruce was world famous and very public, whether she was ready for it at first or not.
Some even say she had a 4 million dollar transition taking everything into account BUT I don’t
know if that’s really true.
Aside from the face surgeries to look and feel more feminine, the two breast augmentations,
and full gender reassignment she also of course has been doing hormone replacement therapy
over the years.
The hormone therapy would have helped Bruce increase estrogen in the body and to promote
female characteristics like female distribution of hair growth, fat, and muscle.
Either way it’s been a long journey but it sounds like Bruce had wanted these changes
for a LONG time – even in his past marriages.
Last I heard these days Bruce is dating a younger trans woman Sophia Hutchins who’s
only 23 at the time of this recording soooo sounds like Caitlyn is living her BEST life.
We’ll just have to see what the future holds for Caitlyn.
COMMENT SECTION Ok guys, now it’s time for me to read out
some of your comments from previous videos!
On our Catherine from the ACE family before and after video
Nahzyra the Aries said “I love that shes informing without insulting
or shaming.
Shes complimenting her before and after saying that its nothing wrong with her getting surgery.
Love it”
Thank you so much girl!
I’m glad you noticed that I definitely don’t hate on any of the celebs in these videos
– what they do is up to them.
And she looks great
On our ACE family EXES video Kesha Rose Evas said:
“Yall in the comments lol, this is a before and after channel”
and suggested that we do the Kardashian Exes next.
I feel like so many people thought that the EXES video was hating so I liked this comment
because it’s true – we just talked about who they dated before.
It’s really not a big deal.
And I’ll definitely look at doing some on the Kardashians for sure!
Finally on our Kim K House tour vid, Lonna said
“The place is cold & unwelcoming, uninviting.
If [you] truly want and desire a minimalistic lifestyle then WHY such a huge home with so
little in it?”
That’s a really good question Lonna.
Aright guys and girls, that wraps up this video here on Before & After.
If you wanna talk more about Caitlyn’s transformation from Bruce you can hit me up on Instagram
