Khloe Kardashian looks ‘almost unrecognizable’ and has a ‘less natural’ face after years of enhancements, says surgeon
KHLOE Kardashian looked "almost unrecognizable" in new photos taken in Los Angeles on Monday, according to a plastic surgeon.
tells The U.S. Sun that the 38-year-old reality star "has done subtle enhancements throughout the years" but seems to have missed seeing the forest for the trees.
On Monday, Khloe was photographed arriving at a medical facility where her ex Tristan, 31, was taking his younger brother.
She was dressed in black sweats and a matching beanie, but fans were blown away by her unedited face — which looks much different than it did when Keeping Up With the Kardashians debuted.
The youngest Kardashian sister, Khloe has long insisted that she only underwent a single nose job — a couple of weeks before daughter True's first birthday in 2019 — and had fillers.
But , a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, said Khloe looks like a "new person."
"Khloe was open about her recent rhinoplasty. However, in these recent photos, she looks almost unrecognizable," he said.
"This looks like a combination of her rhinoplasty as well as added fillers.
"The space between her nose and lip looks longer, which is a combination of aging as well as a result of a smaller nose. This can create a more 'done' look or an overall less natural appearance."
Though he thinks the filler and rhinoplasty are "the most apparent" and "most noticeable at a glance," he added: ";Khloe definitely looks like a new person."

The changes have been gradual but dramatic.
"She has done subtle enhancements throughout the years, which ultimately result in a more 'done' overall appearance," he said.
"In aesthetics, we oftentimes focus on the trees, which are the individual features.
"When we treat those individual features again and again, we oftentimes lose sight of the overall look of the forest. This is an example that.
"Individually treating cheeks, lips, nose, and jawline without careful evaluation of the overall look can result in a very dramatic change."
Dr. Barrett added that it's not uncommon for famous people to be so fixated on fixing "imperfections" that they no longer look natural.
"Unfortunately, patients in the public eye often do chase imperfections or aspire for an aesthetic beyond what honors their natural appearance," he said.
"Surgical and nonsurgical procedures are best used to compliment someone’s natural beauty," he went on.
However, he added: "Every provider and patient has their own interpretation of what beauty is or what goals they’re hoping to reach."
Khloe has hit back at speculation that she's had more work done than she admits.
"For me, everyone says, ‘Oh my gosh, she’s had her third face transplant!' I’ve had one nose job!" she said during a KUWTK reunion.
"Everyone gets so upset, like, why don’t I talk about it? No one’s ever asked me!
"I’ve done, sure, injections. Not really Botox. I’ve responded horribly to Botox."
But she's also admitted to being self-conscious about her appearance from a young age, once recalling how she overheard her mom, Kris Jenner, telling a friend that Khloe needed a nose job.
Khloe told in 2013: "Words are the most powerful weapon, they can leave scars forever.
"She didn't mean harm, but when I was around nine I overheard my mom telling her friend I needed a nose job.
"I was shocked, I hadn't even thought about it. I've grown into my face but I've had makeup artists tell me, 'You should get a nose job.'"
Previously, a plastic surgeon told The U.S. Sun he believed Khloe may have undergone multiple nose jobs, a brow lift, and buccal fat removal, in addition to getting filler.
