Dr. Youn remarked, “The Kardashians are known for their plastic surgery, and Khloé might be the one who has changed the most.”
He compared a photograph of Kardashian from 2008, when she was about 24, with an image from 2011. He highlighted that he has never met her, and his views are solely based on his expertise as a plastic surgeon.
Reviewing these images, Dr. Youn observed that she appeared “fairly natural” and showed no clear evidence of major surgery during that time. However, he speculated that she might have had lip injections to achieve a fuller look.
By 2013, Dr. Youn noted a noticeable transformation in her face, which appeared thinner and more “chiseled” and “contoured.”
He suggested, “It’s possible she underwent submental liposuction, which targets fat under the chin,” and added that “Botox injections to the masseter muscles” might have contributed to her look.
Botox can cause these jaw muscles, which are essential for closing the jaw, to “atrophy, or become smaller, over time,” explained the doctor.
He also speculated that she might have started receiving Botox injections on her forehead around this period.
Dr. Youn commented that she looked “fantastic” at this stage and still retained her essence. He mentioned that if he were her doctor, he would recommend only “small tweaks” for any additional cosmetic procedures.
Dr. Youn indicated that Kardashian’s first notable sign of plastic surgery emerged when she was 31.
He speculated, “Many years earlier, perhaps even before her fame, she might have had a subtle and well-executed nose job,” and he believed, “Between 2013 and 2015, she had either her first or second rhinoplasty.”
He noted that her nose appeared “thinner” and had a “minor irregularity” possibly due to surgery or “scar tissue.”
He also suggested she might have had cheek filler injections during this period.
“Her face is beginning to reshape,” he remarked, adding, “It’s thinning, it’s contouring, and she’s undeniably beautiful, regardless of any procedures.”
In the present, Dr. Youn stated that Kardashian’s appearance has significantly evolved from her younger years.
He opined that she probably had another nose job, with her nose appearing even thinner. He emphasized that the shape of the nose can greatly influence one’s appearance.
He proposed that, beyond rhinoplasty, she might have undergone a brow lift and possibly an upper eyelid lift, as her eyebrows seemed “higher” and her eyes “more open.”
He also theorized the possibility of buccal fat removal, which results in “thinning of the cheek hollows” for a “contoured” look.
Lastly, he speculated about a potential cheek lift.
Kardashian has disclosed some of her cosmetic procedures in the past, including a nose job in 2019, various laser treatments and Botox, along with cheek filler following a tumor removal from her face in 2022.
