The reality star from “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” shared shocking photos, showing her face before and after the removal of a cheek tumor. The growth appeared in 2022. After the surgery, Khloe was waiting to recover before visiting a beauty expert to restore her face’s former look with fillers.
“As a result of the surgery and the tumor removed by my amazing doctor, I now have a dent on the side of my face. I waited nine months post-surgery to fill in the dent. We had to ensure everything was safe from a medical perspective, and my doctor gave me the green light,” explained the 40-year-old influencer.
The founder of Good American also posted a photo of her bandaged face after the procedure. In September 2023, Khloe openly discussed her “journey battling skin cancer” after being diagnosed with melanoma. Kim Kardashian’s sister posed with specialists from the 7Q spa in Glendale, California, who helped fill in the dent.
Additionally, the star admitted to having a phobia: “For those who don’t know, I had a fear of skin cancer on my face,” Kardashian noted. The mother of two referred to her Beverly Hills surgeon, Dr. Garth Fisher, as her angel, adding that he is a “magical storyteller.”
“He not only removed the tumor and ensured I was completely cancer-free, but he also did such an amazing job making my scar as small and beautiful as possible. Thank you so much, Garth! You know I adore you,” Khloe expressed to the specialist.
In October 2022, she first announced that she had removed the tumor, dispelling rumors about her health. Khloe needed to undergo examinations after the procedure. Reflecting on her illness, she admitted she had mistaken the tumor for a simple pimple.
“I’ve seen many stories about the constantly changing bandage on my face, and some of you wondered why I’ve been wearing it for the last few weeks. Noticing a small bump on my face and assuming it was something minor, like a pimple, I decided to get a biopsy seven months after realizing it wasn’t going away. Be diligent about your skin cancer checks!” Khloe urged.
