Khloe Kardashian Opens Up About Cosmetic Procedure She Underwent After Health Scare

Khloe Kardashian has opened up about a cosmetic procedure she underwent to fix an indent on her cheek after she had a cancerous tumor removed from her face last year. The reality star took to Instagram to reveal that she’d sought out filler to smooth out her complexion after the health scare left her face uneven.

1. Khloe Kardashian was grateful to the physician who removed the tumor. Taking to her Instagram Stories on September 19, Khloe thanked her doctor for keeping her safe and healthy as well as minimizing the surgery’s effect on her appearance. “Not only did he remove the tumor and made sure that I am completely cancer free but he did such a f**king stellar job on making my scar as small and beautiful as possible,” she wrote.
2. She wasn’t happy with the “huge indentation” on the side of her face. While she’s so much happier having the tumor removed, Khloe felt the impact it had on her cheek was something she wanted to fix. “I am definitely not complaining because I would rather have an indention than melanoma any day. I am so incredibly grateful to all the doctors who helped and continue to help me with my skin cancer journey,” she continued.
3. Her doctor eventually gave her the OK to fill the indentation in. Khloe Kardashian went on to applaud her “Armenian tribe” for helping her find a way to be happy with her appearance again. “This is my indentation before my Armenian tribe helped fill my cheek with the ok from Dr Fischer,” she shared. “I waited over nine months to get this filled by the way. Patience is everything and of course we have to make sure medically everything is all safe.”
4. Khloe went on to encourage everyone to have regular checks with their dermatologist. After all, as she revealed, she would never have assumed she had melanoma had she not gone for a routine screening. “Since telling my story and talking about my experience. I have received so many messages from people who felt compelled to go to the doctor for a check up! I never imagined that this tiny spec would turn into skin cancer and I can’t fathom what could have possibly happened had I not gone to the doctor to get it looked at,” she wrote. “Paying attention to our skin and our body, no matter how small, is so important.”
