Khloe Kardashian has been posting portraits to Instagram where she does not look like herself.

But a source told UsWeekly on Thursday that the 36-year-old Keeping Up With The Kardashians star has not gone under the knife for plastic surgery. 

‘She hasn’t done a major surgery, just small treatments like micro-injections, laser work and facial contouring,’ the insider shared.

No knife: Khloe Kardashian has been posting portraits to Instagram where she does not look like herself. But a source told UsWeekly on Thursday that the 36-year-old Keeping Up With The Kardashians star has not gone under the knife for plastic surgery

In 2016 Khloe represented Kybella, an FDA-approved injectable.

That same year she wrote on her website: ‘Let me set the record straight, once and for all: I haven’t had any fillers or done any plastic surgery. YET, LOL. But I do believe in a great laser treatment. I do lasers all of time. 

‘Lasers for skin unevenness, skin tightening, stretch marks, scars, acne. Nowadays, it’s so easy and you don’t have to go under for plastic surgeries.’

And last year she admitted to facial contouring: ‘So one of my favorite things is nose contour. But this does stress me out a little bit. In person and how cameras reflect and light, everything looks different. 

‘So sometimes I will contour my nose and in real life I think I look so good and then in some photos I look crazy!’

The magazine’s source added that her changing face also has to do with weight loss. ‘Her transformation is due to hard work in the gym,’ said the friend.

Khloe has read the criticism of her recent Instagram photos but brushes it off. ‘She feels like the best version of herself,’ said the US source.

‘Khloe doesn’t care about the backlash she’s been getting from fans saying she doesn’t look like herself in her recent photos,’ a second source told Us. ‘She thinks she looks great. And actually [she] does not care what people think as long as she’s happy.’ 

The Good American designer has also spoken out about the criticism. 

‘I’ll never understand how bored or unhappy some people can be. I am someone who would never comment something unless it’s positive,’ she shared last week.

‘I believe in uplifting and complimenting one another. Who has the time chiiiillllldddd?! Time is precious boo. I’m spending it on happy things.’

She then noted: ‘With that being said, I love you guys!! I truly wish you all things beautiful in this world because there still is so much beauty. You just have to look through the BS but it’s there.’ 

On Friday, the star posted a series of new snaps looking barely recognizable, as she complained about the October heat wave in Los Angeles, California. 

‘Man this heat wave is intense!! Isn’t it October???’ the siren captioned the post.

She was showing off her incredible figure in a graphic-print corset top, and a pair of skintight latex trousers. 

Wow: Khloe looked noticeably different in this post about her cup from earlier this month

However, fans were quick to comment about the star’s unrecognizable visage, with one user writing underneath the picture: ‘She looks different every week!’ 

‘What in the Ariana Grande is this,’ another fan wrote, while another said: ‘Girl stop that is not you’ and ‘Where is Khloe?!’ 

It appeared that Khloe was trawling through the comments herself, as she took the time to reply to one fan. After one user wrote ‘Money spent well’ under the picture, Khloe hit back ‘the shade of it all’ alongside three crying-laughing emojis.

However, many other fans praised the star for looking ‘stunning.’

Producer Elaine Thomas told the star, ‘You are GORGEOUS!’ to which she replied, ‘awww I love you.’

Meanwhile celebrity make-up artist Etienne told Khloe she looked ‘Hotttt’ alongside a flame emoji. 

Khloe has previously been accused of using altering apps such as FaceTune in some posts, as Khloe has been seen in similar clothes while looking completely different in scenes from KUWTK.

However, she has previously laughed off any criticism, and even joked earlier this year that she had undergone a ‘face transplant’ in an apparent bid to troll fans.

Last week, Khloe was unveiled as the new face of Ipsy, causing controversy as fans said they wanted a brand ambassador that doesn’t change their looks.

Ipsy announced the news on their Facebook page, writing: ‘Meet our newest brand partner Khloé Kardashian! Here’s everything you need to know about her passion for beauty’

The company shared a link to their blog with a lengthy description of Khloe’s love for beauty products and list of must-have cosmetic items. 

The post quickly garnered dozens of comments from customers, many of them negative.

Meanwhile, Kardashian is back on with boyfriend Tristan Thompson with whom she shares daughter True, age two. 

‘Khloe and Tristan are doing really well and in great standing and have been for a while,’ a source told US in September.

‘Quarantine has brought them closer together than ever and Tristan has been super attentive, committed to Khloe, committed to True and their day-to-day family life.’
