How Kim Kardashian has spent £70k transforming her body, including £22k on her face and £31k on her bum alone, according to experts
The reality TV star has been open about having laser hair removal and some other treatments but had often denied having surgery
KIM Kardashian is well known for transforming her look – her ever-expanding bum and constantly-changing hair prove that.
But even by the reality TV star’s standards, the whittled-down waist she showed off at this week’s Met Ball was a surprise.
So how has Kim, 38, managed to change her body so dramatically over the years – and how much might she have paid for it?
Here some of the UK’s top cosmetic surgeons and experts - none of whom have worked with Kim - give their views on what she could have used to get her look.
Bum
When she first hit the scene Kim was clearly proud of her shapely bottom – she showed it off at every opportunity on the red carpet after all - but Dr Fulvio Urso-Baiarda of says there were no signs it had been cosmetically altered.
It was in 2010 that we began to see the emergence of the world famous Kardashian derriere.
By 2008, Kim’s hairline started to look a few millimetres higher and more defined, lifting her face and making it look more open.
She’s admitted having a hair removal procedure too, explaining: “I lasered my baby hairs off years ago, because my forehead had all these little baby hairs, and I would always break out because of them."
Possible cost: £600
Lips
Dr Urso-Baiarda notes Kim’s lips started to look fuller in 2008, just as her star was rising.
“In earlier pictures, Kim seems to have a naturally full lower lip and her upper lip is about half the height,” he says.
“That gradually starts to change so they become a similar height.”
In 2015 they change shape again, with the expert pointing out Kim’s cupid’s bow is more defined and natural wrinkles on her upper lip have smoothed.
Possible cost: £2,000
Face
Dr Urso-Baiarda wonders if the star had filler in her cheeks around 2009, as they became fuller.
“Overall, it also gives her a slight enhancement to her cheekbones, giving her a generally more lifted look,” he says.
Then in 2013, plastic surgeon Anthony MacQuillan suggests Kim shows “subtle changes to jawline, likely from fillers".
Dr Ash Dutta, who is secretary of the British Association of Body Sculpting, agrees that over the years Kim’s jawline has become more pronounced.
“Kim would also be likely be maintaining her skin with radio frequency and botox treatments,” he adds.
The following year all eyes were on Kim when she “broke the internet” by balancing a champagne glass on her bum for Paper magazine.
Dr Urso-Baiarda was more interested in her cheekbones though, which he believes began to project more because she’d used fillers.
Possible cost: £4,000
Boobs
While her buttocks appear to have had plenty of enhancement, Kim’s breasts have gone relatively unchanged over the years, says Dr Urso-Baiarda.
“She could have had an implant or an uplift and but it’s very subtle,” he says.
Anthony MacQuillan wonders if Kim had a ‘mummy makeover’ after her kids were born to boost her boobs a little and help her look toned.
