BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA: When the internet noticed a scar on Kim Kardashian's stomach, speculation arose regarding the possibility of her undergoing rib removal surgery. Observers commented on how her stomach appeared slimmer, with a more defined waistline. This particular aesthetic was attributed to rib removal surgery, a procedure Kim has faced accusations of for many years.

Some fans expressed concern, suggesting that Kim might be experiencing body dysmorphia, a mental illness characterized by an obsessive focus on perceived flaws in appearance. They argued that undergoing such a surgery could indicate struggles with body image and self-esteem.

"You seriously have to suffer from an unknown mental illness to go through this is sick," commented a user on Reddit. Another added, "Yup, the illness being body dysmorphia, compounded by surgeons taking advantage of their money & cognitive distortion."

Recalling Kim's previous interview where she discussed going to great lengths for a youthful appearance, someone remarked, "She literally said she would "eat poop" if it could make her look younger. So I have no doubt she could've removed her ribs to make her waist look smaller." Others confidently asserted that she had undergone the procedure, stating, "It’s OBVIOUS. Next case!"

"Imagine actually caring so much about strangers on the internet thinking you are hot and beautiful so much that-----you REMOVE RIBS! Like Kim Sr, it's really not that serious. She's insane!" exclaimed one user. Another suggested checking out a YouTube channel for further evidence, saying, "Check out Lorry Hill’s YouTube channel on this. It essentially confirms it by comparing her pics with ones of admitted rib removal surgery. This whole family needs to own it. Put up or shut up and go away forever." 

Despite the ongoing speculations, Kim Kardashian herself has consistently refuted the claims, as she did in 2019 when first accused of undergoing rib removal surgery. She has always attributed her physique to a robust workout routine and a balanced diet.

What is Kim Kardashian’s diet?

Kim Kardashian, despite being a big fan of carbs now, turned to the Atkins diet after giving birth to her second child, Saint West, to shed post-pregnancy weight. The Atkins diet, specifically the Atkins 40 plan, focuses on limiting daily carbohydrate intake and promoting the use of healthy fats as fuel. Following this diet, Kim successfully lost around 60 pounds, which left her feeling fantastic.

Her dietary choices typically align with a low-carb, high-protein approach, featuring lean proteins such as chicken, fish, and tofu, along with generous portions of vegetables. Kim adheres to a daily calorie intake ranging from 1200 to 1600, ensuring well-balanced meals composed of whole foods that deliver essential nutrients while keeping her calorie consumption in check.

Has Kim Kardashian got liposuction done?

In addition to adhering to a diet and fitness routine, Kim Kardashian has opted for various aesthetic treatments to enhance her appearance. As reported by Mirror, a cosmetic surgeon at MYA detailed several procedures that Kim has undergone, including rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, liposuction, and laser hair removal.

Dr. Riccardo Frati, another cosmetic surgeon, has compared recent photos of Kim to her older ones and suggested that she may have undergone certain changes.

According to Frati, her body appears slimmer and more defined, which could result from significant weight loss through diet and exercise, or possibly non-surgical and non-invasive treatments aimed at skin tightening and abdominal definition. Overall, Kim has used a combination of diet, exercise, and cosmetic treatments to achieve her desired look.

Has Kim Kardashian removed her implants? 

Kim Kardashian has recently opted to have her breast implants removed, citing concerns about her health and a desire to revert to her natural appearance. Addressing rumors about the removal of her fillers, an insider clarified that she had not removed them but had stopped getting her Brazilian Bum Lift topped up.

Contrary to speculation, The Sun reported that Kim never had implants in her buttocks; instead, she had a fat transfer procedure. While she used to regularly top it up during her marriage to Kanye West, she has now halted the transfers, allowing the augmentation to naturally decrease as she loses weight.
