In Touch: Kim Kardashian has become “obsessed” with plastic surgery lately

It’s no secret that Kim Kardashian has a face made of lies, Botox, fillers and surgery scars. I mean, we all know it, but Kim has always denied it. Her face was normal (-ish) back in 2006, when people just wondered if she had ass implants and a nose job. Since then, Kim has pushed back her hairline through electrolysis, she’s ‘Toxed the hell out of her face, she’s gotten her eyes done (my opinion) and she’s jacking her lips with as much crap (if not more) as Nicole Kidman and Lindsay Lohan. So, this In Touch Weekly is just a reminder – Kim is a narcissistic plastic surgery monster.

Recent photos of Kim Kardashian show her sporting a plumper pout. A friend of Kim’s confirms to In Touch: “Kim is even more addicted to plastic surgery than ever before.”

While the 31-year-old star has always been overly concerned with her looks, plas say she’s become obsessed ever since her October split from Kris Humphries and subsequent fall from grace.

Instead of retreating from the public eye to regroup, Kim’s putting all her focus on her appearance.

“She’s becoming more and more absorbed in her self image,” says a source.

In her latest bid for physical perfection, plastic surgeon Dr. Matthew Schulman believes Kim underwent a lip augmentation.

“It was likely done with a filler like Restylane,” he tells In Touch. Celeb makeup artist at Valery Joseph salon Rachel Gangemi agrees: “There is no way lip gloss and lip liner can create that much volume!”

While fillers may be helping her get closet to her beauty ideal, her antics are only driving friends and family further away.

“Her sisters think she’s so vain,” says the source. “They feel like all she cares about is her image.”

In recent photos, I keep saying that her lips look crazy. But as I was looking back at her old human face, I got really sad. She really was a pretty girl back in the day. She had a genuine exotic prettiness, and it’s totally gone now. She killed it with all of that unnecessary crap she’s done.

    We have a winner for the Joan Rivers wanna be.

    • brin says:

      …and the Joycelyn Wildenstein lifetime achievement award.

    • LeeLoo says:

      I’ve also felt like she’s trying to earn the Michael Jackson Plastic Surgery Lifetime Acheivement Award.

      What’s really said is one of these days these plastic surgeons are going to mess up.

    • japangel says:

      yeah, but at the same time it’s a tremendous insult to mention Joan in the same sentence with this slut. Joan became famous because of her talent and hard work, not from spreading eagle on camera. Joan is still working in her 70’s for chrissakes. She also happens to be a genuinely kind person in real life. I get that she has gone waaaaay too far with the surgery, but Joan was not a pretty lady to begin with, and she seriously doesn’t look all that much worse now than before. Not so with KK. Don’t think Joan should be compared with Michael Jackson, either!

    • Paige says:

      That’s excatly what I was thinking.

  2. brin says:

    Lately?!

  3. RocketMerry says:

    Here it is, Kim’s old face.
    She. Was. Gorgeous.
    Somebody needs to secretly clone her, adopt the baby-clone and enrol it in super schools and University asap. Then when she’ll be grown up we’ll have something incredibly beautiful to look at AND smart to listen to. Can we do that, please?

    • Kiki says:

      Yeah, no. Cloning her just means another copy. That being said, sending her to school would be a waste of time since the clone would still be as dumb as a doorknob! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Take a look at a sunset some day.

      • RocketMerry says:

        Aw, come on, she WAS beautiful… I just wish there was a way to not waste all that beauty and give her a brain. I figured all that vanity and stupidity must come from her mother “educating” her, so…

    • OriginalTiffany says:

      I too, used to think she was very beautiful and ethnic. Very sad what she did to her looks.
      I always root for the ethnic looking girls. When I was a little girl in the 70’s my mom took me in for modeling and they told her I was too ethnic looking. They only wanted blonds. I’m 1/2 Italian and my mom is Native American and Welsh/French.
      Don’t mess with faces ladies! Especially us “ethnic” girls. You age well with that skin-no need to do this to yourself. Usually the darker your skin, the better you age.
      Kim is crazy to have done that to herself. The neediness of a famewhore exposed.

      • Tiffany27 says:

        That is so true!! Us ethnic girls should stay away from the plastic surgery. It just doesn’t sit well on our faces. I’m black and Japanese and would look CRAZY if I got work done.

      • paola says:

        I’m 1/2 swiss and 1/2 italian, i’m blonde, green eyes and really fair skin and i would never do that to myself! any skin can age well with the right amount of skin lotion, sunblock and cleaning your face well every night before bed. The only thing i odn’t understand is how she manages to heal all the scars in time when she’s always in the lime light. I’m sure she had at least 3 nose jobs, one face lift and even her eyes look wider and rounder. The lips are bigger and they seem off and swollen, but i understand that on the lips is just a quick injection as well as the forhead, but what about all the rest??? a nose job leaves bruises on your face for at least a couple of weeks..

      • OriginalTiffany says:

        You are definitely Northern. My family is from Bari and Sicily.
        Ashamed to say that I have been a lifelong beach bunny/equestrian out in the hot CA sun and never took care of my skin or wore sunscreen. I got really lucky. I only started wearing cream when I hit 40.
        Always wore gloves riding to protect the hands, and big sunglasses, but that’s it.
        Hubby is from the same two areas of Italy. Kids are 3/4 Italian and part Native American.
        My girl has fair skin and burns easily. Yes, always use sunscreen on my kids.
        My boy has blue eyes and olive skin. (Both our moms have blue eyes)
        Genetics are truly a lottery. If you don’t smoke, don’t drink to excess, and take care of yourself and nutrition/exercise, indeed anyone can maintain their looks without being plastic. I said, usually the darker your skin, the better it ages. Not all the time, just usually. Some skin doesn’t age as well, its just genetics. Us darker skinned people are more prone to keloids and stretch marks. Just the way it tends to be.

        Anyone see PMK on Dlisted? her nose is caving in. Gross. LL’s long lost sister.

      • paola says:

        @OriginalTiffany

        Oh my god i just went to see her! Her boobs are disgustingly fake and her nose is resembling micheal jackson’s!!!!!!!

      • LunaT says:

        Totally agree with you. Her real face was so beautiful! It’s sad she messed with it at all.

        I’m waiting for her nose to collapse from all of the work she’s had done on it. Poor nose.

  4. nina says:

    She was so pretty pre-effing-up-her-face, she aged herself about 15 years with the surgery. All the fillers/botox/surgery makes her look about 45 and hard looking now. Dumb ass.

    • atorontogal says:

      ITA….I never really knew who this girl was until the last year or so. Seeing those pics of her in 2006 I thought wow she was really pretty (except for those gargantuan tits). Its a total shame what she has done to herself.

  5. paola says:

    Her nose is so thin now, and the expression on her face is just always studied and innatural. I really can’t wait to see her in 10-15 years!

    • Sandra says:

      ITA about the nose. I think that’s what takes away from her exotic appearance. That, and her skin looks so pulled! Almost like she’s had a mini facelift.

      • paola says:

        She alwasy looks so swollen and off in some way, especially her mouth. She’ll end up like one of those horrible women, completely disfigured by plastic surgery, and one day, looking at one of her old pictures she’ll say ‘Ah! I was such a beauty then, with a small ass and look at me now!’

  6. Helen says:

    she looks a little more like khloe in the older pics…

  7. She was stunner before. What a shame… SMH

  8. Laura says:

    What do they mean LATELY!?!? Wtf!

  9. Tiffany27 says:

    That face is gonna look like melted candle wax in 30 years. I never understand why people pay so much money to look so…. Gross.

  10. The Truth Fairy says:

    All the surgery has aged her face by 15 years!

  11. Maya says:

    She is going to go from the Live Doll look to being the next Jocelyn Wildenstein by the time she’s 50.

  12. KLO says:

    Before she did all the surgery, when I knew nothing about her and once, about 3 years ago saw her picture, I thought “this is the most gorgeous woman on the planet”

    But what do you know…

    • MJ says:

      Same here. I used to think she was vapid and boring (judging from her sex tape – ha!), but the most gorgeous natural beauty I’d ever seen, with an amazing face and a beautiful natural voluptuous figure. Now she’s just another bland wax figure in Hollywood. It’s sad that she ruined it with the surgery – she was luckier than 99.999% of the people on this planet when it came to her looks.

  13. El Kiddo says:

    Yeesh.

  14. Gine says:

    She really was beautiful. Way to totally ruin the only thing you’ve got going for you.

  15. Franny says:

    I wish she would go back to that old eyebrow shape. the rounded brows are doing her no favors.

    • Marjalane says:

      That was the first thing that struck me as well. I think she had a real problem with having an ethnic look- it seems like everytime I hear her speak she’s talking about her excessive Armenian body hair.

      • Petunia says:

        I’m sure that excessive body hair is embarrassing. But what the hey, her hairline was nice back in ’06, so I don’t get why she’s messed with it. But I agree, she seems to dislike her ethnic looks and has tweaked them in all of the wrong ways.

    • OriginalTiffany says:

      @Zelda, I am literally laughing my butt off. Your last two link take you to a page that says
      Local sluts love to fuck.

      Bwahahahaha!!!!!!!! Couldn’t be more fitting!

      • Zelda says:

        Hahahaha… I cannot laugh this hard at my desk–I’ll get fired…

        I took them down so I don’t get banned, but dammit, even the broken link clock is right twice a day.

        (sorry to any offended–I can’t check links until after the “edit” option disappears.)

        *sigh* They were totally good pictures, too.

      • OriginalTiffany says:

        I thought it was so fitting! Cracked me up. Thanks for the laughs!

  16. sarah says:

    she was so pretty. what a shame

  17. TheOriginalKitten says:

    Every time I see her she looks more and more like her mom and that is NOT a good thing.

  18. Dawn says:

    I don’t buy that lately part. The national slut has been obsessed with herself in all shapes and forms forever. I really think she is a sociopath. There is nothing behind those eyes and it’s all about little Miss pee on me Kim. Can we just end the madness AND not report on her every time she scratches that mammoth behind of hers?

  19. Petunia says:

    She used to look a lot more like Kourtney. Much more ethnic and natural. I haven’t been aware of her for too long but I’ve always thought her face looked very weird and wrong. Now I know why, looking at the old and new. The lips are awful, just awful. Not digging the latest nose either. I’m not a fan of the Olsen twins nose and she’s now got one. The fake nose and lips make her face look unbalanced and reduce the ethnicity. Don’t know why women do this and ruin the looks they had.

    And I WISH she’d do something with those caterpillar eyebrows.

  20. Asli says:

    You know what I think it is? I think she’s just too stupid. I’m not trying to be mean. I genuinly think that she’s too dumb/vapid to be depressed or to even realize that the public doesn’t think she’s a beautiful, desirable woman, much like Leann. I think that whenever something goes wrong, like when they’re caught filming new pieces for old episodes, someone has to tell her why people are mad about that. Truly. She just doesn’t get it. And that’s why she’s still showing her face in public instead of hiding in her bed and never leaving her house.

  21. Jezi says:

    Every time I see old pics of Kim, it makes me sad. Such a pretty girl. She messed up her face.

  22. Fishlips says:

    *sigh*
    She erased the ethnic features that made her beautiful. Sad indeed.

  23. Inari says:

    *snortle*

    Lucky BF doesn’t really know who or what the Kardashians are, and noted that the 2012 pic might be Cher after some surgeon did a really good job with her face…

    ETA: And she was so pretty. This mess proves (beyond a reasonable doubt :P) that she really is an idiot.

  24. Alexis says:

    Why would she do this? Kourtney looks a lot better than Kim does now because Kourtney left well enough alone.

    The lip fillers is where I feel it’s like KK’s actually just going crazy. She naturally has full lips; it’s not like she was like Kidman and didn’t have lips at all and wanted them to feel pretty and feminine. I can almost understand why Kidman did that, even though they didn’t turn out that great.

    It also seems like Kim has gotten a second (third?) nose job. It looks terrible.

  25. Mouse says:

    She was so pretty, now she looks like her nasty mom’s younger sister.

  26. mucha says:

    Something about her face reminds me of Kloe in the 2006 pics, the eyes maybe…

    • blue_z says:

      Maybe it’s not Khloe who looks so different from her family, maybe it’s her family having so much plastic surgery done that they don’t resemble their natural selves anymore

  27. samab says:

    i remember once I saw a pic of paris hilton at aclub and in the back there was this girl…and I thought that if paris was considered a beauty well,THAT was a beauty.and sooo hot.She was wearing a white dress and SHE WAS JUST STUNNING.But sadly now that she’s everywhere and in the way she is,I just think she would have been better just as a background for paris hilton which was already enough.

  28. janie says:

    Ugh, she literally no longer looks like the same person. How weird would it be to look in a mirror and not see yourself?

    Buttt while the nose is irreversible but it looks like everything else might be fillers. Her jaw looks different but I’m thinking her cheeks and lips are pumped full of Restalyne. Maybe time (and some self confidence) will allow her real face to settle in again.

    • OriginalTiffany says:

      That’s what freaks me out so much! When I was 25 I had to have surgery on my nose. Polyps removed and turbinate reduction. I could never breathe through my nose. During the consult he asked if I wanted to change my nose while I was at it. Noooooo!
      I don’t want to guess what I’d look like with different features. I’ll just keep what I have.
      Absolutely no offense to anyone here that has had work done. Just for me personally.

  29. NeoCleo says:

    I clicked the link, saw the “before and after” photo and was genuinely shocked. I never paid much attention to Kardashian until I had no choice in the matter because we are saturated in Kardashian the last few years. What a difference! She really does look fake in retrospect.

  30. kristiner says:

    This article would be better with a picture comparison from 2008-2012. Since she got married she’s had a LOT of work done.

    These out of the spotlight months have paved a nose job and hollowed cheeks.

    2006 she wasn’t even relevant until late 2007 so most don’t even remember who looking Armenian.

    He face looked like a transplant in a comparison of a 2008 picture and a 2011.

    How about some recent pictures over 2006?

  31. Hugo a go go says:

    She is being driven by her own ego and celebrity and will eventually be tormented by it.

    Surgeons can hold back the hands of time and provide an illusion of perfection but they are powerless to cure the deep insecurities that arise and torment people who build their castles upon the sands of vanity and must watch them crumble and fade with time.

  32. trollontheloose says:

    I think she’s to go for the heart shaped lips .. you can google it it’s what people want when they get Restylane injected.

  33. original kate says:

    i like her original face (or at least version 1)- she looked a bit different from the blonde bobbleheads one usually sees in LA. now she looks waxy, frozen and squinty.

  34. Palermo says:

    Look at her mother’s face, her nose is caving in on one if not both sides. She is her idol, they are both going to be in Wildenstein territory with a few more procedures.

  35. c says:

    She actually resembles Jessica Alba (a tinge) in her 2006 photo, which as you’ve mentioned is due to her ‘exotic look’. And it’s gone now, it’s so sad, she resembles Kris Jenner more and more.. I am shocked at how much prettier she was before…

  36. Tweakspotter says:

    Everytime I see her cry I laugh histarically…she looks like the puppet ‘Madame the puppet’.

  37. DoMaJoReMc says:

    Ummmm…YA THINK? She looks GORGEOUS in that 2006 pic in the brown dress. I love the brown hair, not the so-black-it’s-blue hair of today. She should have embraced her ethnicity, not nipped and tucked it.

  38. Happy21 says:

    Does she really think she is the smartest woman in the world? Like we believe her when she says she hasn’t had work done? Like we can see in photo after photo what she used to look like. I hate being taken for an idiot when I am clearly not.

    Stupid bitch needs to stop lying. Someone needs to interview her and call her on her lies. Show her a photo from 2005 and ask what about your nose Kim…its obviously different. What about your eyes Kim, they aren’t even the same shape? I’d love to see her stumble and try to get out of the questions.

  39. BJD says:

    She now looks like a Stepford wife! Ack! So, so-o-o fake looking.

    I actually thought these were photos of Nadya Suleman (aka “OctoMom”)! It’s almost creepy how much she now looks like her…..and that’s NOT a compliment, Kim Kardashian!

  40. Faye says:

    Gah. She looks like a parody of herself.

  41. kiki says:

    It is going to be so funny when she has kids and they have her old face. And how can she teach her kids to love themselves when she hated her face and body and made herself look like a totally diffrent person! I thought she was pretty back in the day when she hada normal face. Now she looks much older than she is and just so plastic looking! Only a person with 0 self esteem would ruin themself like that.

    • anne says:

      She is way too selfish to ever have a child of her own. Then when she’s too old it will be “Poor me, I can’t have a child.” and she won’t even be able to frown or cry.

  42. duncecap says:

    I have to wonder. Did Jocelyn Wildenstein ruin the way people view plastic surgery? I think celebs honestly think that as long as they don’t get a face like Wildenstein, that they showed restraint.

  43. Palermo says:

    there’s a picture online with her current butt next to her with the original one, which is just a regular sized one.

  44. kdlaf says:

    Its pretty much common knowledge that kim had plastic suregery but whats even more obvious is her skin lightening!! No one ever talks about it!Her skin looks 2 or 3 shades lighter than it did about 5 years ago. What a shame. Does she know that in about two years no will care about her anymore? Changing your entire appearance when you are fine in the first place is not worth it.

    • duncecap says:

      I don’t think she’s had skin-lightening done. I’m no expert, but if you look at the first side-by-side, the lense, flash and angle are different. The first pic is probably from a moderate distance, from a neutral angle. The second pic is closer, much higher intensity and slightly above the angle of the face, which is considered more flattering lighting, and washes out some details. The intensity of the flare is evident on the chin shadows.

      If anything I think Kim Kardashian might wear makeup that’s a little too light for her. Rather than match it to her skin-tone, she’ll wear it all over her face, neck and chest. Her whole body has a foundation/mineral powder look to it. I believe she’s vain enough to cover the majority of her body in makeup. Lots of celebs do, actually.

      • Happy21 says:

        LOL, so funny that you would say that about the make up as I remember a magazine interview with her a couple of years ago (when I could actually tolerate her in small doses) and she said that it was her #1 pet peeve that so many women wear make up that does not match their skin tone. That if she could educate girls about it she would.

        LMAO!! Haha. Kim Tardashian. Hahahaha! 🙂

      • HadleyB says:

        She is not naturally dark. She tans, lays out, self tanner, sprays whatever. Also there used to be old youtube vids of her and her old makeup artist on how to do her makeup — years ago.. and she would wear foundation shade or 2/3 darker than her skintone and she said she did on purpose to give her self more color, then she added bronzer.. highlighter then blush.. interesting to watch this was probably face #4 or 5 .. so she was still “ethnic” looking but you could tell she had work done but not like now.. where has has gone too far.

        I can see why from her WAY WAY back pics WHY she wanted work : to even out her skintone, plump up her cheeks, lax skin in the jawline/cheeks ( yes even at her age ), slight plumping of top lip, soften the eye wrinkles but after that? she should of just did enough to maintain.. and I also agree she had an eye lift/ forehead lift something to make her eyes so narrow and cat like.. fillers alone dont do that unless its only for a few weeks due to swelling or swelling from lasers ( trust me and I didn’t leave the house!! )

  45. Mel says:

    She is a sad case. She has no talent so, she has went crazy with messing up her face. She WAS a beautiful girl. NO doubt. She had plastic sugery and done hair weave in all pictures but she did not go over board like she has now.

  46. Erin says:

    she used to be GORGEOUS. sad.

  47. SolitaryAngel says:

    Dear In Touch:
    Thank you, Captain Obvious.

  48. Kim says:

    This is old news. She has been obsessed with plastic surgery for years. Like mother like daughter =(

  49. Dotty says:

    She’s morphing into a wanna be middle aged Cher.

  50. Marianne says:

    Her nose even seems more slimmer. And what girl in their 20s or even early 30s needs Botox? I mean how many wrinkles do you actually have?

    • hillbillygirl45 says:

      Exactly! I’ve always heard that worry and stress cause wrinkles…..what could this muppet have to worry about? You think she has a problem paying bills, buying groceries, etc.? She, and her family needs to just go away, their 15 minutes was up long ago

      • Erinn says:

        Ugh, I’m 21, and I’ve had a deep forehead wrinkle for a long time. Excessive worrying and squinting from before I got glasses. It’s pretty bad, and it really bothers me. But you don’t see me running to get plastic surgery or fillers.

    • Shannon says:

      I have a really deep wrinkle in my forehead as well that I’ve had since I was at least 16 or so, but it’s because when I talk and get excited I raise my eyebrows. I tried for a while to use different creams to help minimize it, and one day a saleswoman asked why I didn’t botox it. For some reason it completely horrified me – I was only 25! Since then I’ve learned to love that stupid wrinkle. I’m 28 now and I still have no crows feet or smile lines, just the one on my forehead, and it’s a weirdly nice reminder that I’m a happy, expressive person. The thought of not being able to smile and laugh like I do because of botox is really, really sad. Kim had such a nice smile before, and whether she had work/fillers or not, something is making her face immobile. I think I might like her a little more if I thought she was capable of emotion.

  51. moopsie says:

    hmm I wonder what stories these phonies will plant about themselves in the tabloids next? Like really… does In Touch think that people really give a sh*t enough to buy a magazine with the cover story being about Kim Kardashian’s obsession with plastic surgery? Everyone knows she is phoney already. Its weird. Every other day, there is some stupid news about theses phonies in the tabloids. Kim is lonely…kim still loves her ex, kim gained 10 pounds. You know, I wouldn’t doubt it if they purchased a tabloid magazine in order to plant stories about themselves to stay relevent.

  52. NinaG says:

    I think it’s easy to focus so much on the outside when you don’t have anything going on inside. You can tell she a bit of a vacant soul, It’s sad really.

  53. FeverDream says:

    Kim looked really amazing maybe like 2-3 years ago. She had had some surgery, that was apparent. But it wasn’t over the top and it was an enhancement of her natural appearance. Like Megan Fox.

    Unfortunately in the past year or so she has gone HAYWIRE with the cheek fillers, the nose etc etc. She needs to stop before she destroys what she has left. You can’t reconstruct a shaved to nothing nose. She’s going to look like Lil Kim in about five minutes.

  54. Chrissy says:

    In the second picture on the left, she looks really cute, kind of Indian. On the right, she’s turning into Cher. Cuteness gone. The nosejob was a mistake too in my opinion.

  55. skinanny says:

    The lips are awful…..!!!!!!!!!

  56. Coucou says:

    Oh no, this is sad to see, the comparisons are quite disturbing. Maybe she’ll catch a glimpse of this and have a wake up call. She may be a slut (like Brandi said “color me slutty”) but who the hell isn’t in Hollywood? It’s a veritable fishbowl of fame/attention whores, and honestly, i don’t think she’s the worst of ’em. Imagine if she had Dina as a mom, LL had Kris. They both whore their girls out, but somehow, i don’t see KK following LL down the yellow brick road, but i do see her stepping over her to get to Oz. I can’t be bothered to hate her, but she does need to dial way back on the extreme beauty treatments.

  57. Hanna says:

    I wanna run over to her and wipe that face off with makeup remover. Just clean that shit up.
    And yes, she looked more arabic-ish before. Sad.

  58. HoustonGrl says:

    Wow, this IS sad. She was very beautiful before. However, the fact that she denies breast implants is really just absurd at this point…I can understand that other procedures might be more subtle – thus open for debate, but after I saw a picture of her looking like Coco in that blue dress, the denials are getting ridiculous!

  59. vibrant77 says:

    She has admitted to having her hairline lasered. She lasers off all body hair along with using her Tria at-home laser. She’s had fat transplant to make her butt fuller, not implants. She’s had jawline filler, brow shaping, skin resurfacing, lip enhancements. That’s what expert surgeons summize. I think its the pressure to be perfect in Hollywood. She was too ethnic for all the ad and product companies, so they suggested a little of this and that, which ruined her natural beauty indeed. She’s still picture perfect but just like Pamela ANderson- closeup and in person you’d see her flaws.
