Has she, or hasn’t she? That is the question.

Kim Kardashian has long insisted that her ‘shapeshifter’ abilities are nothing more than the result of regular sessions with a dermatologist and ‘a little’ Botox… but her ever-changing appearance over the years has always been a topic of fierce debate.

Despite vehemently denying for years that she has ever gone under the knife, Kim, now 42, has faced serious scrutiny from experts and amateurs alike over her transforming face and body – with many claiming that surgery is the only answer to her ever-changing image.

Now the reality superstar’s looks have once again become the subject of much debate, after her former friend – rapper Cardi B – credited Kim with providing a list of plastic surgeon recommendations when she herself decided to go under the knife.

Speaking on the Jason Lee Podcast, the hitmaker revealed the Keeping Up With Kardashian star had suggested surgeons who could help when Cardi chose to get corrective surgery on her nose in 2020.

From undergoing laser treatments to eliminating carbs and sugars from her diet, Kim is known to take  drastic measures to maintain her dramatically slimmed down frame and flawlessly sculpted facial features.

However, the Skims mogul has been unable to shake claims that she may have had a little extra help over the years to achieve her famous look.

Indeed, July 2022 saw Kim claim that she’s never had fillers and has only gotten ‘a little bit of Botox’ over the years.

But she was immediately accused of ‘gaslighting’ fans as the world continues to weigh in on the star’s distinctive looks.

Meanwhile, the star’s figure has also been a subject of debate after her family’s famous curves were credited with the rise in popularity for Brazilian butt lift procedures.

Now, her shrinking frame over the past year has led to a new weight loss trend after rumors the star used a pioneering obesity drug to shift the pounds.

Elsewhere, the star’s ever-shrinking figure over the past year has been rumored to be a result of obesity medication semaglutide, known by brand names Ozempic and Wegovy – which aids weight loss

Indeed, a Tik Tok-fueled stampede for the medication semaglutide – known by brand names Ozempic and Wegovy – even though Kim has never commented on the claims.

The drug works by suppressing the appetite, with users saying they crave less and sometimes forgetting to eat.

Many are convinced it is the way Kim managed to drop lost 16 lb in three weeks so she would be thin enough to fit into a dress that once belonged to Marilyn Monroe for the 2022 Met Gala.
