Khloe Kardashian Then & Now: How Much Surgery Has the KUWTK Star Had?

Keeping Up with the Kardashians star Khloé Kardashian almost broke the internet when she posted a photo of herself to Instagram on May 23. The 35-year-old looks totally transformed in the picture, leading fans to wonder how much surgery the KUWTK star has had.

After splitting from her husband, Lamar Odom, in 2011, Khloe looked to totally transform herself, losing weight and pretty much becoming a poster girl for gym and exercise – remember that 2015 Complex magazine cover.

Along with her super-fit body, Khloe’s hair and makeup has evolved but her more recent Instagram posts are beginning to look less and less like the Khloe we’re used to.

Khloé’s New Look

Many Keeping Up with the Kardashians fans have taken to the internet to comment on Khloe’s IG photos with some even making a meme of her post. One meme shows a transition from “old” Khloe to ‘new’ Khloe with the title, “Tristan: I think we should see other people.”

In all fairness, Khloe’s facial features do look very different, as does her skin tone and hairstyle and color. However, with modern technology, it is very possible with lighting and filters to take a photo and look very different from our natural selves.

As with anyone, our faces are bound to change from our younger years to mature adulthood and when Keeping Up with the Kardashians started Khloe was in her early twenties. Over the course of the show, we’ve seen all of the family’s looks change but as of around season 12 or 13 of KUWTK, Khloe’s face looks to have changed the most. Then, this more recent version of Khloe’s face has been much more dramatic, hence why fans are now asking how much work she’s had done.

Has Khloe Kardashian had surgery?

Khloe has not spoken out publicly when it comes to the question of whether she’s had surgery or not.

However, going off the long list of surgeries her sisters are said to have had, we can assume that Khloe wouldn’t be shy of the plastic surgeon’s office. Kylie has had lip filler, Kris has spoken of having a neck lift and breast augmentation, Kourtney also had abreast augmentation, while Kim says she’s only had botox. Khloe Kardashian spoke of having filler but later having it dissolved. So, we could assume that the reality star has had cosmetic procedures such as filler and botox. The women even go as far as getting freckles and moles removed from their body in a bid to achieve perfection, so there’s probably no limit to what the Kardashian-Jenners will do for beauty.

According to an Insider interview with California-based plastic surgeon Dr. Arash Moradzadeh, “Khloe may have had a rhinoplasty, or nose job, since her nose appears thinner than in previous photos. And it looks like she had buccal fat removed from her face.“

At 35 years old, it’s pretty normal in this day and age for anyone to have a little nip and tuck, but Twitter users aren’t accepting that Khloe’s repping a natural face any more.

Some Twitter users even suggested that Khloe is doing her best to transform into her close friend Malika Haqq. And the online backlash didn’t go unnoticed by the KUWTK star, Khloe actually clapped back at one commenter on a post from May 29. The commenter wrote, “Why do you look so different in all your photos?” Khloe replied, “from my weekly face transplant clearly.”

Is it all Photoshop and makeup?

It’s very possible that rather than an extensive list of cosmetic surgeries, Khloe has simply lost a lot of weight, has a professional makeup artist on-hand as well as the option to use top-of-the-range editing software.

Because the image that Khloe posted involved a Photoshop fail when it came to her butterfly necklace, it confirms that she does make the use of heavy editing when posting to Instagram. The necklace she’s wearing in the photo is missing the left side of the chain, proving that the photo’s been altered.

Khloe’s photo has been used on her sister Kourtney’s Poosh website on an article titled, “At-Home Tips for Highlighting your Hair.” Hair colorist to the stars Tracey Cunningham provides some tips for highlighting hair alongside Khloe’s photo. However, it’s safe to say that from that Insta post, it’s not Khloe’s hair color that anyone was really too fussed about, it was her ever-changing face.

Khloe has lost a tonne of weight over the last few years, estimated to total over 40 pounds, this is also another factor to consider in her changing face as weight loss can dramatically change what people look like. On May 25, Khloe took to Instagram again to show herself completing a unique workout pulling her daughter, True, along in a buggy as she ran. The reality TV star posted another photo in late May where her lips look much larger than they have done before, so she may well have opted for some quarantine cosmetic procedures.

Keeping Up with the Kardashians has been postponed as of season 18 episode 6 until September. Fans of the show are likely to see Khloe’s new airbrushed and slightly-more-brunette look on-screen later in the year. But, for now, we can all enjoy the Kardashian sister’s Instagram feed, from gym selfies to SKIMS promo, adorable photos of True to gob-smacking underwear shots.

Rather than full-blown plastic surgery, we can assume that Khloe’s had some minor procedures such as lip filler and botox. Until she confirms any surgeries herself, it’s more than likely that her hardcore exercise regime, diet and beauty team are to thank for Khloe’s new look. Khloe is said to work out at least five times a week and eats a strict diet mainly consisting of salad, fish and vegetables. Her workouts with Gunnar Peterson and Don Brooks (Don-A-Matrix) are well documented on Khloe’s Instagram page, so it’s clear that she’s not shy of putting the work in – she’s sculpted in every other area, so why would her face be any different?
