Khloe Kardashian on Her Cheek Indentation Left by Melanoma

Khloe Kardashian is addressing how her face has visibly changed since her 2022 "skin cancer scare" and what she's doing to fix it. Writing on her Instagram Story Tuesday (September 19), the Good American co-founder shared a close-up mirror selfie of her cheek, with a noticeable dip in her cheek from where the tumor used to be. Khloe, 39, had a melanoma spot removed last year on the cheek. She wrote over the image: “Not that we needed the arrow to show the huge indentation on the side of my face but because we had to remove a tumor from my cheek, I was left with an [indentation]." She added that she is "definitely not complaining" because she would rather deal with the indent than melanoma any day.

The Kardashians star shared a series of before-and-after snaps of her cheek and revealed that she is now getting the indentation filled with cosmetic injections. Alongside another close-up of her cheek indentation, she said she waited over nine months to get it filled to "make sure medically everything is all safe." Next, Khloe shared the progress of what the injections did to fill up her cheek to bring her face "back together." She also thanked her “Armenian tribe” for working “WONDERS” on the indentation and added that getting it filled “will always be something” she has to do “due to the mass.”

According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, melanoma is one of the three major types of skin cancer. This includes basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma melanoma, and Merkel cell carcinoma. Kardashian also praised the work of her surgeon Dr. Garth Fisher for removing the tumor last October. "Not only did he remove the tumor and made sure that I am completely cancer free but he did such a f---ing stellar job on making my scar as small and beautiful as possible,” she shared with her 312 million followers. “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."

Khloe, the youngest of the Kardashian clan has transformed so much over the last ten years. From her face to her body, we've done a deep dive through her Instagram to see just how drastic these changes have been.

Though there's a filter over this photo, we can see that Khloe has opted for some blonde ombré in her hair. Her full cheekbones poke out from voluminous hair.

For the rest of the year, Khloe maintained her blonde ends, rocking a high pony in these photos. She has always been the bigger of the three sisters, but she has always looked healthy.

In this photo, Khloe's face starts to look different. It may be due to the makeup, but Khloe's once full face seems more sculpted and her eyebrows are fuller.

Though it may not seem like a big change, Khloe's arms and tummy look slimmer than they did in 2013.

A few months later, Khloe is more bronzed and blonde. Besides her face being much darker than her natural skin tone, Khloe's pout looks much fuller and her cheeks are slimmer.

We had to do a double-take on this one because we thought this was her half-sister Kylie! Khloe's cropped blonde 'do only show a portion of her face, but we do see are those plumped-up lips.

Khloe gave fans a peek at her shredded abs in her gym attire, sporting a very dark tan.

Though visibly pregnant, Khloe seems to maintain her lip fillers and her body bronzing.

Just three months after giving birth to daughter True, Khloe is back to wearing tight athletic wear, not showing one ounce that she's a new mother. This is the darkest tan we've seen Khloe wear thus far.

Even though she looks like her natural skin tone, Khloe once again looks so much like Kylie Jenner. Her physique shrunk so much that her clavicle is visibly poking out.

Wearing cornrows while on vacation got Khloe a lot of hate, as people often accuse her and her sisters of blackfishing.

This is the biggest transformation Khloe has shown on social media. Her face is almost unrecognizable from what it looked like nearly ten years ago, from constant facial procedures and tanning.

At this point, Khloe's slim figure has garnered a lot of negative attention, with people claiming she is further perpetuating young girls' body dysmorphia.

Wearing a corset and latex pants, Khloe has virtually no fat on her in this side view photo of her body.

In recent years, Khloe has been posting more bikini pics. This Instagram post shows just how unnatural her tiny tummy looks in comparison with her derrière.

For the first time ever, we find out that Khloe's natural hair is actually curly. The youngest Kardashian tells her followers to not "ruin the feeling" of sharing her curly locks.

It may be a new year, but Khloe went back to straightening her hair and darkening her skin.

Getting mistaken for singer-songwriter Taylor Swift because of these clip-in bangs for a cover shoot, Khloe received a lot of heat. The photos were criticized for looking to be heavily photoshopped, with fans noticing the extremely long and thing legs and her ankle looking unnatural. Moreso, folks accused Khloe of using a diabetic medicine to lose weight.
