Khloé Kardashian recovering from operation to remove tumour on face
Khloe Kardashian is grateful to the medical team who worked hard to remove a rare tumour that was on her face. She shared details of her journey with her followers on social media.
Over the past few weeks, Khloe Kardashian has been seen with a bandage on her face.
The television personality has taken to her Instagram Stories to set the record straight.
"I have seen numerous stories going around about the ever-evolving bandage on my face, with some of you wondering why I've been wearing one for the past few weeks. After noticing a small bump on my face and assuming it was something as minor as a zit, I decided to get it biopsied 7 months after realising it was not budging," she wrote.

To her surprise, the 'zit' turned out to reveal that she was suffering from something much more serious.
"Dermatologist Dr Tess Mauricio ( @drtessmauricio) examined it, and a second biopsy was ran by Dr. Daniel Behroozan because what they both were seeing was incredibly rare for someone my age. A few days later I was told I need to have an immediate operation to remove a tumor from my face," she wrote on IG.
The 38-year-old said she called one of her trusted surgeons to take care of the tumour.
"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. I'm grateful to share that Dr. Fischer was able to get everything - all my margins appear clear," she wrote.
She added that she is now going through a recovery process.
"Now we are onto the healing process. 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 I'm making these face bandage look," she wrote.
Khloe's mother, Kris Jenner, has thanked the doctors who took care of her daughter during the whole process.
"I am so thankful to @garthfishermd and PRAISE GOD for the amazing results, and that my Khloé is going to be OK!!," she wrote on IG.
She revealed that learning that her daughter was suffering from the tumour was scary.
"It was quite the scare and I am so humbled and thankful to everyone who was part of this team," she wrote.
