Shutting down haters while sparking renewed dialogue about stardom and openness, Khloé Kardashian just opened up about all her surgeries. The 41-year-old reality TV star, entrepreneur, and member of the Kardashian-Jenner dynasty went to Instagram to make crystal clear just what it is that she’s had done, following the success of a viral video that broke down her evolving look. More than ever, public interest in the aesthetics of the celebrity set is high, and her list, published openly in the comments section of a June 28 post, offers a fascinating window into the demands and designer wants of the moment.
Setting the Record Straight
The flashpoint was ignited by London-based aesthetics doctor Jonny Betteridge, who posted a video comparing photos of Khloé Kardashian from the last 15 years. His guess was that she had undergone a temporary brow lift, rhinoplasty, lip fillers, and perhaps a face and neck lift. Instead of ignoring the post, Khloé responded with a pretty jaw-dropping, although not surprising, acknowledgement, and clarification of what she’s actually had done.
Kardashian insisted that she took it as a compliment, then rattled off her plastic surgery, including a nose job that was the work of Dr. Raj Kanodia, a highly thought of Beverly Hills surgeon. She admitted to receiving laser hair removal, Botox, and Sculptra injections at 7Q Spa Laser & Aesthetic Center. She also coped with getting dermal fillers in the past, though she said she’s been filler-free for some time now, but that remnants from said fillers may still remain because fillers “never completely go away.”
Embracing Non-Surgical Options
Although she did not admit to receiving an entire facelift and neck lift, Kardashian did admit that she had only gotten non-invasive methods to appear more youthful. Among them is a practice called collagen baby threads, a procedure that’s supposed to offer lifted, firmer skin without having to go under the knife. She gets it done at The Things We Do, a skincare clinic popular with Hollywood insiders.
To keep her skin tight and radiant, Khloé Kardashian turns to Soft Wave laser treatment, a newer method that utilizes ultrasound energy for tightening. She also treats herself to salmon sperm facials, an emerging fad among high-end beauty buffs for its DNA and peptide properties, generally part of her regular beauty routine. And her routine also involves peptides, vitamins, and high-quality products that promote hydration and collagen production.
The fact that Khloé Kardashian is choosing to be this raw is just one chapter of a bigger , and long overdue , personal story. Darling then and now: Over the years, she’s always noted her relationship with her body, a relationship formed by public critiques and by comparisons to her sisters. During the 2021 Keeping Up with the Kardashians reunion, she admitted to having gotten a nose job and injections but said her confidence has ebbed and flowed after years of back-and-forth with the media and fans.
She also credited the transformation to an impressive 80-pound weight loss, which she did with the help of her trainer, Joe Paris. The change has not just been physical but emotional for Kardashian, who wanted to take control of her image and shut down years of the type of speculation that has too often diminished her self-esteem.
A Shift in Celebrity Culture
Khloé Kardashian candor speaks to a new era in which celebrities are increasingly eschewing secrecy for transparency over plastic surgery and beauty treatments, coinciding with the rise of mobile apps and social media. Her sister Kylie Jenner just revealed she’d had breast implants and even knew all the measurements, whilst their mother Kris Jenner has also been open about her history of facelifts and Botox.
