Khloé Kardashian Opens Up About Plastic Surgery Following Cancerous Mole Removal

Khloé Kardashian admitted to using cheek filler after having a cancerous tumor removed from her face in 2022.

“As a result of the surgery, and the tumor my incredible doctors removed, I ended up with an indentation in the side of my face,” Kardashian, 40, wrote on Snapchat. “I waited nine months after surgery to get the indentation filled.”

“We have to make sure medically everything was safe and my doctor gave me the go-ahead,” she continued.

Kardashian shared photos of her cheek before and after the plastic surgery, acknowledging “the difference between the before and after.”

The mother of two first opened up about the tumor in her cheek in 2023 after fans voiced questions about a bandage on her cheek.

In 2022, Kardashian urged her fans to get screened for melanoma on social media.

“I am [predisposed] to melanomas… I am someone who wears sunscreen every day religiously, so no one is exempt from these things,” she said.

When she was 19, Kardashian had a malignant spot on her back removed and has undergone procedures for other odd moles.

“I’ve gone through this process a couple of times and I am so grateful that most moles have not been cancerous,” she wrote at the time. However, there was one mole I had on my back that was skin cancer. I had eight inches of skin removed. It was definitely painful because it was a lot of skin, but most of the time the removals haven’t been that bad.”

In December, Kardashian alarmed fans by her dramatic weight loss after appearing in a campaign for her clothing brand, Good American.
