After Getting A Tumor Removed From Her Face, Khloé Kardashian Shared Raw Photos Of The “Indentation” That Was Left In Her Cheek

“I waited 9 months after surgery to get the indentation filled.”

Back in 2022, Khloé Kardashian revealed that she’d had an operation to remove a precancerous melanoma tumor from her face.

Khloé explained that she’d noticed a “small bump” on her cheek, which she likened to nothing more than a zit. However, she eventually decided to get it checked medically when she noticed it was still visible seven months later.

After getting the tumor removed, Khloé was left with a scar and an indentation on her cheek, which she protected with a bandage for months.

“You’ll continue to see my bandages and when I'm allowed, you'll probably see a scar (and an indentation in my cheek from the tumor being removed),” she shared on Instagram.

Now, two years later, Khloé has shared photos of the aforementioned “indentation” on her face.

Taking to Snapchat recently, Khloé revealed that she’d gotten facial fillers to even out the indent on her cheek.

“As a result of the surgery, and the tumor my incredible doctor removed, I ended up with an indentation in the side of my face,” she wrote.

“I waited 9 months after surgery to get the indentation filled,” she added, explaining, “We had to make sure medically everything was safe and my doctor gave me the go ahead.”

Khloé also shared raw before-and-after images of her cheek following one round of facial filler injections. “You can see the difference between the before and after,” she wrote over the photos.
