Khloe Kardashian thanks India-born surgeon for nose job

US reality TV star and influencer Khloe Kardashian recently confirmed that she underwent several cosmetic procedures. Following her revelation, an India-born doctor is in the spotlight after Kardashian listed eight different treatments, tagging the doctors and medical spas responsible for each one. Raj Kanodia was one of the doctors who was involved in Kardashian's yet another cosmetic transformation.

Interestingly, Kardashian has been associated with the renowned Beverly Hills-based plastic surgeon for years. He's again in the news after Kardashian thanked him especially for the plastic surgery.

The Kolkata-born plastic surgeon has worked with many celebrities. He first came into the limelight when he was approached by John Kennedy Jr in the 1990s to give presidential candidates makeovers for his new magazine George.

Soon after attending Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez Bezos’s star-studded wedding in Italy, Kardashian received high praise from London-based aesthetician Jonny Betteridge, who described her as the event's "standout face". Betteridge, in a video shared on social media, analysed and highlighted the possible cosmetic enhancements Khloe may have undergone.

Betteridge noted that the Kardashian star's look has "changed a lot over the past few years" and speculated that her transformation likely involved a temporary brow lift, rhinoplasty, lip filler, and a face and neck lift, according to a report in the UK’s Daily Mail.

On June 29, Khloe replied to the video herself, saying she took it as a compliment and confirmed that she has indeed had cosmetic procedures.

"I take this as a great compliment! First off, I think these photos are about 15 years apart. But here's a list of things that I have done," she wrote on Betteridge’s Instagram Reel.

"I've been very open in the past about what I have done, so here we go. Nose job," tagging Indian-born surgeon Raj Kanodia.

WHO IS DR RAJ KANODIA?

Raj Kanodia is a top rhinoplasty specialist in Los Angeles. A board-certified surgeon, he is renowned for his expertise in nose reshaping and facial rejuvenation procedures.

Kanodia, who was born in Calcutta, earned his medical degree from the University of Calcutta Medical College in 1971.

Considered one of the top rhinoplasty surgeons in LA, Kanodia has treated a long list of A-list clients, including Britney Spears, Jennifer Aniston, Kim Kardashian, Cindy Crawford, and Charli D'Amelio.

Last year too, Khloe Kardashian had openly acknowledged that Raj Kanodia performed her nose job, often praising him for her "perfect" nose. During the Keeping Up With the Kardashians reunion, she discussed her cosmetic procedures.

"Everyone says, 'Oh my gosh, she's had her third face transplant!' But I've had one nose job — (by) Dr Raj Kanodia — and everyone gets so upset, like, why don't I talk about it? No one's ever asked me," entertainment website People quoted her as saying.

Raj Kanodia also attended the wedding celebrations of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant last year. During the wedding, he was seen in photos alongside both Kim and Khloe Kardashian, who also attended the event. He was also seen posing with Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor, sparking rumours that she could be one of his clients.
