Whether or not Kim Kardashian has gone under the knife in the past few years has felt like an eternal and enduring question among fans. After she posted a new TikTok video to the account she runs with her eldest daughter North, she gave viewers an up-close look at her face.
In the video, fans can see the 42-year-old SKIMS founder and her 9-year-old daughter getting custom Cup of Noodles bowls, and at the end, they join together for a cute selfie. Many fans who watched the clip, as seen in a recent Reddit thread, are reexamining her features and debating what looks different, even though she denies ever undergoing plastic surgery.

Fans Think Kim Kardashian Has ‘New’ And ‘Different’ Lips And Nose In TikTok Video
At the end of the video, the two showed off their noodles in a bag to the camera. North waved hers in front of it as the SKKN mogul also held hers in the air. She also donned a silver rain coat from Louis Vuitton.
Although Kardashian was wearing thick black sunglasses and the video’s quality was a little blurry, it didn’t stop some convinced viewers from claiming that Kardashian underwent rhinoplasty and got recent fillers.

Some stressed that her lips appeared more “plump” and full and that her nose looked smaller. One fan noted that Kardashian often “uses filters and Photoshop” to edit her content, so any difference in her appearance could be linked to this, rather than surgery.
Others, however, were still set in their beliefs about Kardashian possibly going under the knife. “Kim’s nose and lips look different in this?” one user asked. Another added, “Yikes. It’s for sure new.” Regarding her nose and lips, someone else replied, “They definitely look different.”

What Kardashian Has Said About Plastic Surgery
As many fans note, there’s no denying that Kardashian’s face and body have changed throughout her time in the spotlight and rise to fame, and ever since Keeping Up With The Kardashians aired its very first episode in 2007. Although there has been so much said about the businesswoman’s potential plastic surgery, she hasn’t had much to note on the topic itself.
Notably, Kardashian sat down with Allure last year after she sparked controversy for wearing an iconic gown first worn by Marilyn Monroe to the 2022 Met Gala. She opened up about her weight loss to fit into the dress, and shut down rumors that claimed she ever got plastic surgery.

Kardashian admitted to getting “a little bit of Botox,” after being asked about cosmetic alterations she has had for her face. She then clarified in the interview published in August 2022 that she has “no filler” in her cheeks or lips. She added, “Never filled either one, ever. I’ve never filled my cheeks. I’ve never filled my lips … My eyebrows are real.”
The SKIMS founder ultimately explained that she has had less work done than many might presume. She emphasized that she has only ever received Botox treatments in-between her eyebrows, and was adamant about this being the only surgical procedure she pursued for her face. She also noted that she has never used eyelash extensions. “I have a drop of mascara on today,” Kardashian said.

“I’ve chilled, actually,” Kardashian continued regarding Botox procedures. The KKW Beauty icon discussed pressure to prioritize her appearance: “I care. I really, genuinely care about looking good. I probably care more than 90 percent of the people on this planet.”
She added, “It’s not easy when you’re a mom and you’re exhausted at the end of the day or you’re in school, and I’m all of the above. I do my beauty treatments usually late at night. After everyone’s in bed, I’m doing laser treatments.”
Naturally, fans and even plastic surgeons on Twitter reacted to her interview at the time, with some “doubting” that her claims of no cheek or lip filler were “accurate.” As one other user pointed out, Botox might be all Kardashian will “admit to,” but the idea of “her valuing looking perfect” or “promoting her as perfect” can still create “unrealistic beauty standards” overall.
