Khloé Kardashian revealed she turned to facial fillers to fix an indentation in her cheek, which was left after undergoing surgery to remove a skin cancer tumor.

The reality TV star, 40, shared the story on Snapchat, with before-and-after photos from her filler procedure.

She also spoke about why she waited for about nine months after the surgery to mend the indentation.

“As a result of the surgery, and the tumor my incredible doctor removed, I ended up with an indentation in the side of my face,” she wrote on Snapchat on Friday, October 11, as per E!

“I waited 9 months after surgery to get the indentation filled,” she added.

While explaining why she waited for months, she said, “We had to make sure medically everything was safe and my doctor gave me the go ahead.”

The Kardashians star had previously spoken about how she thought her melanoma was a zit for almost a year during season 3 of the reality TV show.

“I have done one biopsy on this bump that I just assumed was a zit, turns out it’s not a zit,” she said. “It’s melanoma, and for my age, it’s incredibly rare.”

“Melanoma is deadly,” she continued. “This is way more serious than I anticipated it to be.”

She also posted a series of Instagram Stories in September last year, where she candidly shared her healthy journey with her millions of followers.

“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 continued. “Thank you so much, Garth! You know I adore you.”
