<p id=”par-1_57″><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/kim-kardashian/”>Kim Kardashian</a> used to cause speculation that certain <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/kim-kardashian-wests-butt-might-not-actually-be-real.html/”>parts of her body weren’t real</a>. But whether she’s ever gotten plastic surgery or not, her ex-husband Kanye West reportedly made sure she wouldn’t go under the knife. And if the claims are to be believed, West’s mother played a huge role on the rapper’s attitude towards plastic surgery.</p>

<p id=”par-2_86″>Kardashian has been candid about <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/kim-kardashians-favorite-body-treatment-is-non-invasive-3k-a-session.html/”>the body treatments</a> she likes to have done to maintain her appearance. She’s asserted that she generally avoids plastic surgery, however, opting for less invasive procedures. In an interview with <a href=”https://www.allure.com/story/kim-kardashian-cover-interview-august-2022″>Allure</a>, for instance, the Reality TV star revealed that she’s touched <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/kim-kardashian-west-said-she-would-never-get-botox.html/”>herself up a bit with Botox</a>. But Kardashian was adamant that was the extent of her treatments at the time. Her getting Botox is a byproduct of Kardashian’s passion for her appearance, which she admittedly cared about more than most.</p>
<p id=”par-3_66″>“I care. I really, genuinely care about looking good,” she said. “I probably care more than 90 percent of the people on this planet. 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.”</p>

<p id=”par-4_38″>Although Kardashian claimed she’d gotten very minimal surgery done, it was reported that West wanted to make sure it stayed that way. The rumor was that Kardashian wanted to get plastic surgery after giving birth to their child.</p>
<p id=”par-5_36″>“Kim was certain that she wanted to have surgery after giving birth because she wanted a head start on losing her baby weight. But he really flipped out,” the source once said according to <a href=”https://www.deccanherald.com/archives/no-more-plastic-surgery-kanye-west-tells-kim-kardashian-353714.html”>Deccan Herald</a>.</p>
<p id=”par-6_37″>It was there that West set up a rule for Kardashian to remain all natural. Especially after what happened to his mother, Donda West, who accidentally died because of a mistake made <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/how-did-kanye-wests-mom-die-donda-wests-surgery-complications-still-bring-kanye-to-tears.html/”>while she was getting surgery</a>.</p>
<p id=”par-7_45″>“Kanye told Kim in no uncertain terms that she needed to put her baby and her life first. He got pretty emotional because he really didn’t want her going through that kind of major surgery. He’s still traumatized from his mom’s death,” the source said.</p>

<p id=”par-8_27″>It’s unclear how true the rumors were regarding Kardashian’s argument with West over plastic surgery. But Kardashian did have a difficult time adapting to her post-pregnancy body.</p>
<p id=”par-9_35″> “Pregnancy for me was a lot tougher than people saw on my show or from magazines,” Kardashian once told <a href=”https://people.com/health/kim-kardashian-opens-up-about-weight-loss-struggle-post-baby/”>People</a>. “So to get back to feeling like myself just makes me feel good again.”</p>
<p id=”par-10_54″>Kardashian got back into shape with a <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/what-does-kim-kardashian-eat.html/”>balanced and healthy diet</a>. Additionally, she did end up getting plastic surgery after all. In 2017, it was reported that she visited Dr. Ourian’s office, who specialized in celebrity cosmetic surgeries. She got her stomach tightened, proved to be a very discomforting procedure despite being pretty noninvasive.</p>
<p id=”par-11_43″>“So, I’m spending my Saturday with Dr. Ourian and it f***ing kills, but it will be worth it. … You guys, I never thought I could love someone and hate someone so much at the same time,” Kardashian said according to <a href=”https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-body/news/kim-kardashian-has-stretch-marks-removed-belly-button-tightened-w467831/”>Us Weekly</a>.</p>
<p id=”par-12_46″>“If anyone that’s had babies understands what it does to your belly button afterwards and how much your belly button changes, then you really understand how much you need Dr. Ourian tightening around your belly button so that it can look back to normal,” she added.</p>
<p id=”par-13_15″>She was spotted leaving Dr. Ourian’s office again, and admitted to getting another cosmetic procedure.</p>
<p id=”par-14_58″>“OK, so I just left Dr. Ourian’s office, and we worked on stretch marks today and I feel so excited that I finally did it,” Kardashain said. “I’ve been so scared to do it, thinking it hurts so badly, and it didn’t hurt that badly. So, I’m so grateful and I’m so excited. I love you, Dr. Ourian!”</p>
