Khloé Kardashian Shares Melanoma Recovery Journey and Cosmetic Procedure Update


Khloé Kardashian is opening up about her cosmetic procedures after facing a health scare. The reality TV star, who underwent surgery in 2022 to remove a melanoma tumor from her cheek, recently shared an update on her skin treatment with her followers.

On October 11, Khloé took to Snapchat to reveal that she had received facial fillers to address the indentation left by the tumor removal. “After the surgery, my incredible doctor removed the tumor, but I ended up with a dent on the side of my face,” she explained in a post that has since disappeared. She waited nine months post-surgery before opting for the filler treatment, wanting to ensure everything was medically safe before going ahead.

In her update, Khloé also posted before-and-after selfies to highlight the changes in her cheek structure, showing her followers the results of the procedure.

The journey with melanoma has been a challenging one for Khloé, and she previously shared her experience on the family’s reality show, The Kardashians. She recalled noticing a small bump on her face, initially thinking it was just a pimple. It took her seven months to decide to have it biopsied, leading to the shocking discovery that it was a rare skin abnormality, especially uncommon for someone her age. “Melanoma is deadly,” she said, realizing it was far more serious than she had expected.

Having faced melanoma as a teenager, Khloé felt compelled to share her story to raise awareness. “I am predisposed to melanomas, and I urge everyone to check their skin regularly,” she advised. Despite her diligent skincare routine and daily sunscreen use, she was still diagnosed with a skin abnormality. This experience emphasized the importance of regular check-ups, and she encouraged her followers to take skin health seriously. “Please do regular self-exams and your annual check-ups,” she implored.

Khloé's openness about her health journey not only highlights her personal challenges but also serves as a reminder for all of us to prioritize our health and well-being.
