Khloe Kardashian got 'highly sophisticated procedure' as she hates being in Kim and Kourtney's 'shadow'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Khloe Kardashian is embracing a newfound confidence that she says has made her feel better than ever.
The 40-year-old reality TV star, who’s been candid about her journey with cosmetic procedures, believes she’s never looked more polished—and she’s unapologetically flaunting her results.
According to an insider, Khloe’s recent transformations have made her "extremely confident" in her appearance, something she admits she never felt growing up under the shadow of her older sisters, Kim and Kourtney Kardashian.
Khloe Kardashian embracing confidence after years of insecurity
Khloe Kardashian reportedly underwent a "highly sophisticated procedure" to tighten her jawline and get rid of excess skin and fat, giving her profile a more sculpted, "snatched" look, according to OK! Magazine.
The insider shared, "Her profile is snatched now, and she’s constantly bragging about how good she looks."
The mother of two has always been open about past cosmetic work, including facial injections after a cancerous tumor was removed from her cheek in 2022 and a nose job in 2019.
She has been telling close friends that she feels more confident than ever, and even making sure she does the research to ensure her procedures are right for her.
"She’s unapologetically embracing all these new surgery methods and doing plenty of research beforehand to make sure it’s the right procedure for her," explained the source, adding that Khloe has been seeking out the best doctors and feels better as a result.
Khloe Kardashian always felt like the 'ugly sister'
According to the tipster, Khloe Kardashian always struggled with being in her sisters’ shadows.
"She has always had that sibling rivalry with Kim especially. She hated being in her shadow and Kourtney’s too. She always felt like the ugly sister, but that’s not true anymore," noted the source.
Khloe has been open about her past struggles with body image and comparison. In 2021, she recalled feeling left out during early photo shoots with her family.
"We did so many photo shoots where they would receive racks and racks of clothes and I was told by so many different stylists, I was given about two or three pieces of clothing, but not to worry because I would be in the background anyway," shared Khloe.
Despite these feelings, Khloe has always advocated for body positivity, encouraging others to focus on being healthy rather than meeting unrealistic beauty standards. She said, "I don’t want people to feel like they have to be a certain size to be accepted. I just want people to be healthy."
Khloe Kardashian often brags about being hotter than her sisters Kim and Kourtney Kardashian
Now, with her updated look and a new sense of self-assurance, Khloe Kardashian feels empowered enough to confidently claim her place in the spotlight.
"She’s extremely confident about how she looks these days, to the point of being cocky. It’s normal for her to brag about being hotter than Kim and Kourtney now and she fully means it," revealed the insider.
Having said that, some are concerned that Khloe may be going too far with her cosmetic procedures. She has been criticized for undergoing more nose jobs than she admits, and there’s worry that she may become addicted to surgery.
"The issue is that a lot of people think she’s gone way too far, that she’s had more nose jobs than she admits," said the source.
They added, "Not only that, surgery can be very addictive, she’s already mentioned other things she wants to get done so the worry is she’s now on a very slippery slope and could wind up totally butchering herself."
