Last year in October, the Good American founder Khloe Kardashian shared with her Instagram followers that she had a melanoma tumor removed from her face.
The revelation came after several of her followers noticed how she has been spotting different bandages on her face in her pictures. She had to explain that she noticed a mole on her face which refused to disappear after seven months of its discovery so she had it removed, but it persisted.
“After noticing a small bump on my face and assuming it was something as minor as a zit,” wrote Khloe at the time, “I decided to get it biopsied 7 months after realizing it was not budging.”
She continued, “A few days later I was told I need to have an immediate operation to remove a tumor from my face, I called none other than Dr. Garth Fischer, a dear friend of my families and one of the best surgeons in Beverly Hills who I knew would take incredible care of my face.”
Explaining that the bandage will be on her face for a while, she said, “So, here we are…you’ll continue to see my bandages and when I’m allowed, you’ll probably see a scar (and an indention in my cheek from the tumor being removed), but until then I hope you enjoy how fabulous these face bandages look.”
Khloe Kardashian — Khloe’s Response To Critic Over Bandage
Recently, it appears that some of her followers have either forgotten or, they’re just criticizing for no reason. A comment from a critic after seeing an almost invisible bandage on Khloe’s face got the “KUWTK” alum responding.
In a recent Instagram pic uploaded by the “Revenge Body” alum which was captioned “Happy Sunday” with the beautiful Khloe Kardashian pouting to the camera, a critic waltzed into the comment section asking, “And what the heck is on your cheek.”
Let’s just say that Khloe took her time before replying with, “A bandage,” she wrote, adding, “I had a tumor removed from my face but I’m totally ok. Thank you for asking ❤.”
She also added, “I had a tumor removed from my face a few months ago so I wear this for healing and the prevention of my scar getting worse. All is great and healing wonderfully.” — per PEOPLE.
In October when Khloe shared her melanoma tumor surgery news, she revealed that she has in the past got surgery over the same issue when she was just 19 years old.
“At 19 years old, I had melanoma on my back, and I had a surgery to remove that as well… Even those who are not, we should be checking all the time.”
The following month after her revelation, Khloe “Rocked” her bandage to the CFDA Fashion Awards and her fans who saw her praised her for taking care of her skin.
During that time, the reality tv star replied via Twitter, “Trust me it’s not easy lol but it will help my scar not stretch out any bigger than it has to be. right now it’s healing so wonderfully. I do laser treatments on it and it’s healing so so well. They want me to wear it for six months but I’m not sure I will go that long.”
