No one can figure out what happened to Khloe Kardashian’s face in this Instagram

How cute is this little tater tot? Puppy Love 🐶

A post shared by Khloé (@khloekardashian) on

This was one of the top stories this morning on the Daily Mail. I have no idea why, except people love to analyze plastic surgery and Photoshopped photos. Khloe Kardashian posted this Instagram, above, this week and fans were going crazy. People were wondering… WTF is happening with Khloe’s face in this photo?? While it’s no secret – ?? – that Khloe’s face and body has been going through a surgical evolution over the past, say, four years, I think people were particularly startled to see this photo because Khloe’s nose looks almost Michael Jackson-like. Is this surgery? Or Photoshop?

Examining the IG closely, I have to admit… I don’t think it’s just her nose. I think her lips and her teeth are throwing everything off. Like, she might have gotten some new veneers and they look too big? And the lips have been a problem for far too long. And maybe something with her chin too? My God.

Remember that Khloe is currently pregnant too. We were worried that Kylie Jenner was going to have issues with stopping her cosmetic work during her pregnancy, but now I’m worried that Khloe is the bigger plastic surgery addict, and none of it can be good for the pregnancy.

    It looks like a different woman. A better looking one, if I may add.

    • Va Va Kaboom says:

      Different woman yes, better looking…? Decidedly not. The tip of her nose has been thinned to the point I doubt there is any blood flow reaching it. I won’t be surprised when it falls off. I honestly think she was far more attractive before. Now she looks like a thousand other her plastic surgery addicts, odd and well, plastic.

    • Lua says:

      She got carried away with the liquify tool in PS.
      You can plump your lips, pinch your nose, and change the entire shape of your jawline and eyes with it.

      • NotSoSocialButterfly says:

        Yep. Vapid, superficial idiots, the whole lot of them.

      • The dormouse says:

        Yes, assume photoshop rather than surgery if it’s not a candid shot.

        The distance between her eyes is widened to look like Kendall – not something you can do with surgery! Apparently she’s self-conscious about it given her preference for posing with hair covering one eye.

      • Olive says:

        @dormouse DM has candid photos of her recently and this isn’t her current nose at all. it’s photoshop.

    • kimbers says:

      lots of make up, new teeth, fuller brows, chin redone, nose slimmed, cheeks too

      • Louise177 says:

        Likely a photoshop fail. Khloe has been photographed every other day if not everyday. Extremely unlikely to have procedures done without bruising.

    • Sabrine says:

      She looks great, very pretty. I’m all for enhancing one’s features if that’s what they want. It’s everybody’s own decision and nobody else’s business.

    • Rascalito says:

      I think it’s everybody’s business when the Kardashians keep throwing it in our faces. It’s hard to be online and not be subjected to them wherever you go. The Daily Mail is the worst for that. I’ve noticed that they have, at any given time, every 5 articles being about one of the Kardashians. It’s so extreme that I’ve wondered if the Kardashians OWN the Daily Mail. I just absolutely don’t get the appeal at all.

      And I’m all for fixing yourself up to look better surgically too if that’s what you want, but don’t pretend and lie that you’ve never had surgery when it’s so extremely obvious to everyone. Like Kim and her ridiculous turtle shell butt that she claims is all natural. It’s just the lies that are gross. But actually, the physical “ideal” they’re all aiming for is kinda gross too, it’s so unnatural and cartoonish, and makes females with actual real bodies feel horrible about themselves because they don’t have a gigantic azz with ripped abs at the same time, and a 19 inch waist, and huge sausage lips. Anyway I just find the family so gross and unbearable. I feel a mini rage inside me when I see them pouting for the camera, with 5 pounds of make-up, tons of surgeries and 10 hours of photoshop on each picture. It’s so fake and exasperating!

      Anyway that’s my rant lol. 😛

    • MM says:

      Can’t these soulless inflatable dolls just go away? How long will they keep corrupting the minds of the youth? Sending the message that you need to objectify yourself taking 800 naked selfies a day and buy yourself new boobs, butts, lips, cheeks, eyebrows to be fabulous…and that boyfriends and babies are great fashion accessories!

  2. Reginaphalange says:

    Purposeful editing to get people talking…. She’ll chalk it up to lighting and makeup.

    • OTHER RENEE says:

      Exactly what I was thinking. And look! It worked.

    • LaBlah says:

      I’m not sure. There was a candid shot of her at a Halloween party (where the desire to wear a sexy costume over rode the desire to keep people guessing about a pregnancy) and she had the same face as in this pic. I didn’t think it was her at all. She’s had work on her nose but also had her jawline slimmed down.

  3. KBB says:

    She looks like La Toya Jackson

  4. Nicole says:

    Holy new face batman

  5. MissMarierose says:

    She looks a lot like Chrissy Teigan in that first picture.

  6. Kitten says:

    All these women look effin bizarre to me. Chiclet teeth, inflated lips, microblade eyebrows, spider lashes, weird facepaint-y makeup. It all looks so unnatural and unsexy IMO.

  7. Sayrah says:

    Are we sure the first pic is of her because I’m calling shenanigans. The bottom pic yes but that’s just not her.

  8. Miss Kittles says:

    Her nose looks so pinched & small. I hope it’s makeup & lighting. Leave ya face alone

  9. CynicalAnn says:

    She wishes she actually looked like that. It’s just filter/photoshop at the Plastic Barbie setting.

  10. Natalia says:

    Didn’t recognize her. Was that her goal? Delusional self-shaming. She was good looking already.

  11. burnsie says:

    It’s the nose and jaw. Like she got a huuuuuge jaw reduction

  12. teehee says:

    Narrowed her nose, and sawed down her jaw, to give her whole face an overall meeker appearance. Probably also lip injections.

    Lost a bit of weight. Less dramatic eyebrows in a new, upward shape and no more of the thick black eyeliner all around the eyes, which made her eyes even darker and heavier when she already had a “bolder” face. (defined bones)

  13. blonde555 says:

    Only a filter free going shopping pic will show the real truth. Waiting for that one!

  14. Beth says:

    I didn’t even recognize her. Is that someone else, not really her?

  15. Lora says:

    It‘s called facetune… thats why every chick on ig looks the same

  16. Amanduh says:

    Are they preggo, tho??! Has there been a konfirmation??

  17. Ennie says:

    Unrecognizable.

  18. Happy21 says:

    Wow! WTF!?

  19. Tate says:

    That looks nothing like Khloe. WTF?

  20. huckle says:

    There was a pic of Kim and Kanye on IG where Kim’s face has this look too! It was captioned “date night.”

  21. Ce2495 says:

    She looks like Beyoncé in the second pic

  22. Amy says:

    Could it just be that she’s smiling in this photo as opposed to making the weird duck face that she does in every other photo? It looks like she’s not wearing nearly as much contour as usual either. She does look like an entirely different person, but there is so much that you can do with makeup. Or if you always wear a certain makeup look and then you switch to doing something totally different, or not wearing makeup at all.

  23. Frosty says:

    I really liked her natural face, and prefer to see the beauty in individuality. All these plastic faces – you can tell who is going to which surgeon because they all reflect that particular surgeon’s “look” or aesthetic. Everyone winds up looking alike, and equally plastic. I totally get that that plastic look has become appealing on its own – because you’re telegraphing you care about appearance upkeep and are willing to spend big bucks to attain/maintain it. And based on what I see where I am, plastic surgery is kind of a happy thing, it’s not necessarily coming from this sad neurotic self-hate place.

    But it still sucks.

  24. JeanGray says:

    Combination of extreme contouring and facetune app. You can literally change your features and face shape with that app.

    I mean with a generation that lives on SM more than in real life, they probably don’t think too much about what people will think when they actually see them in real life.

  25. Harryg says:

    What the hell is wrong with them all??? Can’t they just go away already, I’m sick of them.

  26. Isa says:

    I think she got one of those 8 point facelift or whatever they’re called. It’s done with botox and fillers.

  27. queenE says:

    I always wonder if the Kardashians (or any other celebs that get a drastic amount of plastic surgery) are ever kind of thrown when their kids are born and have their original features.

    • Ankhel says:

      I bet they feel guilty, far more so than for being messy and thirsty. They probably put aside a fund for baby’s first plastic surgeries.

    • MostlyMegan says:

      Good point. It’s so weird. What’s so wrong with their original faces?

      • Ankhel says:

        Half of them weren’t beautiful, and the others grew older? That’s not very marketable, darling.

    • tealily says:

      Hahaha! Do you remember that court case a while back where the wife had had plastic surgery long before she met her husband, but he never knew? When their kid was born, he had her pre-surgery features and the husband sued! I don’t remember what the outcome was, but it was ridiculous regardless. EDIT: I just Googled it and it showed up as false on Snopes. My bad!

      • Helen Smith says:

        My mom had a friend who met her husband after plastic surgery and when they had a child the husband was disappointed in their baby’s looks. He told my mom he didn’t know who she resembled. My mom was too polite to tell him the baby resembled his wife pre procedures.

  28. Talie says:

    Her nose, but it could be makeup and face apps doing this. If she really did have her nose narrowed…then she now looks like any other generic hot white woman.

  29. Littlestar says:

    Probably just overdone Photoshop IMO.

  30. Emily says:

    There’s no better time to have plausible deniability than during pregnancy. I can see it now “Pregnancy caused my lips to swell and nose to shrink.” Just like puberty caused Kylie to emerge as a fully formed plastic butterfly.

  31. Mrs.K says:

    She looks great. Who is her plastic surgeon?

  32. JRenee says:

    Can one of you technology geniuses put an old picture up next to this. I don’t know how.
    She looks like a different person! !!!!

  33. Ashley says:

    It really just looks like aggro post editing. Pregnancy changes a face – maybe results in even more photoshopping

  34. Cupcake says:

    She looks like Hillary Duff here.

  35. Cali says:

    Looks like she got a lip lift. Her nose looks so caked over I can’t tell if it’s a tip refinement surgery or just lighting and make up. The lip lift decreases the space between the upper lip and nose and literally transforms an entire face.

    • Sophia's Side eye says:

      Yep, you’re right, thats what looks so different! I’ve seen the surgery on realself, the difference is unreal.

  36. Southern belle says:

    She looks better looking, but she also looks completely plastic. These girls have zero self esteem

  37. Molly says:

    Throwing this out there, but I don’t think Khloe is really pregnant. (Kylie is pregnant like whoa, clearly. Her body is changing in all the typical ways.) And yes, I know, not everyone responds to pregnancy the same way, blah blah, but I wouldn’t be surprised if only two kardashian/jenner babies are born next year.

  38. Tess says:

    I want to believe that a) neither of them are that stupid and b) no plastic surgeon would work on a pregnant woman (if they indeed are??) so I’m going to blame face tune.

  39. meh says:

    Does no one use insta? It’s filters, guys.

  40. Overit says:

    Basically it’s just one photo . A combination of makeup and lighting may be just making her look redically changed. I’d need more ‘live’ event pictures to make a call.

  41. raincoaster says:

    Is she using the Chrissy Teigen filter to get those cheekbones?

  42. jana says:

    That is some serious photo shopping…every feature that was naturally rounded, is now pointy.

  43. Rebecca says:

    That’s Photoshop, not plastic surgery. Khloe always photoshops her face to make her jaw look smaller and her face shorter. This time she went overboard with the nose too.

  44. Talia says:

    It’s the nose!!!

  45. Lucy2 says:

    I can’t imagine changing my face so much that I looked like another person. Look up what she originally looked like.

  46. Rachel in August says:

    What happened to her face? Buccal fat removal, chin surgery, at least four different rhinoplasties (extension and then rebuild), excessive lip fillers and I think some eye work. The vast majority of that face is surgery, very little photoshop. And I know we’re talking about her face here but I must also mention the hilarious ass implants that move around like bagged milk when she walks, but “I bust my ass at the gym, guys!” And of course the boob job, but it’s all real you know, and you guys are just haters. I’d rather be a hater than a liar, Khloe. And then of course make the post all about your new dog and not your 100% vinyl face.

  47. shouldawoulda says:

    This people are so empty. It is so very sad. These plastic surgeons are serial psychology abusers and extreme misogynists.

  48. Lola'sMum says:

    If you zoom in you can see her nose and mouth has been photoshopped. I just don’t understand why she would post a pic that looks nothing like her.
