With everything they do, including their outfit picks, haircuts, and makeup, the Kardashian family has raised the bar for beauty and established new trends. However, over time, people have begun to wonder how much of their looks is genuine and how much has been altered simply aesthetically.
The Kardashian family has really been upfront about having surgery, despite the fact that fans and plastic doctors frequently speculate about the treatments the family has had done. Even while it might surprise some, the family’s plastic surgery procedures are seldom, according to them. Rather, their flawless beauty is a result of fantastic dermatologists, a top-notch glam squad, and some lucky genes!
The Kardashians had the following to say regarding plastic surgery:
Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian has denied plastic surgery claims throughout the years, claiming that she has had any work done, including a nose job. Although she claims she hasn’t had surgery, she does acknowledge trying out laser skin treatments like “vampire facials” and occasionally obtaining Botox. She claims to have had her belly button tightened nonsurgical after giving birth, as well as having done laser hair removal on her face and erased stretch marks.
“I’ve never had eyelash extensions. I’ve never done anything… I’ve never filled my cheeks. I’ve never filled my lips. My eyebrows are real…I’m 41. I always want to look appropriate. There does come a point when you’ve taken it too far — overfilled, too tight, too much cosmetic work. There’s nothing worse,” Kim recently told Allure.
Khloe Kardashian
Khloe Kardashian, like her sister Kim, has been the target of unending plastic surgery rumors, with some even charging that she underwent a “face transplant.” Khloe claims that none of it is true and that her only actual medical procedure was a nose operation. Khloe acknowledges having tried Botox and fillers but has avoided using them because she “responded horribly.”
“[Fillers] did not work for me. I looked crazy, and I still think the effects are in there. I went to have it all dissolved like three times. My face was so f—ed I had to go and get this whole thing dissolved. It was a bummer and now I’m afraid to do it again. And I’m almost like, I swear things are still in my face,” Khloe shared in 2016.
Later, when she made an appearance on E!’s “Keeping !’s Up with the Kardashians” reunion, she added: “For me, everyone says, ‘Oh my gosh, she’s had her third face transplant,’ but I’ve had one nose job, Dr. Raj Kanodia, and everyone gets so upset, like, why don’t I talk about it. No one’s ever asked me.”
Kourtney Kardashian
The only procedure Kourtney Kardashian has admitted to having had is a boob job when she was 22. She has, however, been the target of her own set of claims regarding plastic surgery. In fact, according to Kourtney, she regrets having the procedure done and wishes she had reconsidered.
In 2019, a social media user accused the reality star of altering her face, but she has since denied using any fillers, saying she doesn’t even use those. Then, in 2021, Kourtney denied getting a butt augmentation when a fan on Instagram claimed that she had undergone “plenty of surgery,” including a “nose job, some sort of butt shot or bbl just to start.”
“No better compliment than a ‘too good to be real’ kind of compliment. Butt shot and Brazilian butt lift? Um, thanks. And you were just getting started,” Kourtney wrote back.
Kylie Jenner
Even though Kylie Jenner hasn’t had surgery yet, she doesn’t think it’s wrong for others. Kylie had previously discussed getting injections when she started getting temporary lip filler in 2015, but for the time being she is sticking with them. A lot of her appearance, according to Kylie, is just incredibly fantastic makeup in combination to filler in the rest of her face.
“People think I fully went under the knife and completely reconstructed my face, which is completely false. I’m terrified! I would never. They don’t understand what good hair and makeup and, like, fillers, can really do. It’s fillers. I’m not denying that,” Kylie told.
Kendall Jenner
Kris Jenner
Kris Jenner, the matriarch of the Kardashian-Jenner family, has been the most forthcoming about her plastic surgery treatments, discussing what she underwent both before and after soaring to popularity on “Keeping Up With The Kardashians.” Kris acknowledges that she had a boob job in the 1980s, but claims she eventually had it decreased in the early 2010s.
“[I’ve had] Botox and fillers and laser and things like that. I had a boob job in the ’80s after four kids because gravity took over…I felt matronly and nothing fit anymore, and suddenly, it was like get them out. So, the same doctor who put them in, he took them out, and then had to do a little lift and then put smaller ones in,” Kris said on “E!’s Good Work” in 2015.
Kris even underwent surgery while shooting her reality TV show. She had her neck lifted while the cameras were rolling in 2011 and had her earlobes reduced live on the air in 2018.
