Kim Kardashian's Before And After Beauty Transformation

One of the biggest questions asked of Hollywood is: which celebrities have had plastic surgery? And while many are yet to open up about procedures they may have had, Kim Kardashian has candidly spoken about her journey with self-image.

For years, fans have speculated that the mother-of-four’s features couldn’t have aged so spectacularly without the help of cosmetic work. And despite what she says, fans are still hellbent that the SKIMS founder has gone under the knife to preserve her seemingly ageless beauty.

While there might not be obvious changes to her facial features, it’s the lack thereof that have people talking. Between her twenties and her forties, Kim’s face has seemingly remained the same with the natural effects of ageing seemingly unable to take residence on her complexion.

Naturally, fans have wondered if she’s taken part in preventative methods to keep any wrinkles at bay—she claims that all she’s done is botox and laser treatments.

Addressing the plastic surgery rumours, the 41-year-old told Allure that she keeps her cosmetic procedures to a minimum.

“No filler. Never filled either one, ever,” she confirmed for the publication. “I’ve never had eyelash extensions. I’ve never done anything. I have a drop of mascara on today. I’ve never filled my cheeks. I’ve never filled my lips.”

Whether the soon-to-be-lawyer has or hasn’t gone under the knife is ultimately her decision. But what we do know is that she’s definitely undergone a transformation when it comes to her beauty moments.
