In the past she's gone to great pains to deny that she's ever gone under the knife, merely admitting to dabbling in a spot of Botox. 

But when Kim Kardashian showed off a rare profile angle while attending The Hollywood Reporter's Women in Entertainment breakfast on Wednesday, the difference in her facial features was hard to ignore.

The 33-year-old's nose seems to have especially morphed over the years, despite her claims she's never had rhinoplasty.

It's appears that at some point Kim has possibly had the bump on her bridge shaved down, to allow for a more flawless appearance.

In an interview with ABC's News' Nightline back in 2010, Kim insisted that she was '100%' surgery free.

'I'm totally not against plastic surgery, I've tried Botox before. That's the only thing that I've done,' she claimed.

'I've never had my nose done,' she added defiantly.

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians favourite admitted that she had toyed with the idea of having the procedure, but decided not to go through with it in fear of never looking 'the same'.

'What's funny about my nose, it's my biggest insecurity,' she explained.

'I always want to get my nose done . . . I went to the doctor, I had them take the pictures, he showed me what it would look like and it just didn't -- I wouldn't look the same.'

Meanwhile, in the same interview with Nightline, Kim's mother Kris Jenner also denied that she nor any of her family members had treated themselves to rhinoplasty.

'None of us have had our nose done,' she asserted.

Over the years, Kris, however, has become quite the advocate for cosmetic and plastic surgery.

The Kardashian/Jenner matriarch isn't shy about talking about her penchant for procedures, and in recent times has let slip about the work she's had to turn back time.

Most recently, when Kris welcomed surgery fan Joan Rivers on her ill-fated chat show in August she agreed with the comic that 'everybody looks better with plastic surgery.'

Although Kris has claimed that most of her work has been less invasive than others, stating that she still has her own 'eyes, nose and mouth'.

In 2011, Kris spoke on Australian radio about her decision to have a face lift ahead of Kim's wedding to Kris Humphries that year.

'I did have a little freshening up,' she revealed.

'Well after Kim used to start calling me "gobble, gobble", at Thanksgiving. I mean that's nice, isn't it,' she added sarcastically.

'Kim thought my chin was down to my waist. So I had a little lower... they take your chin and pull it up,'

The star even had the procedure filmed by the ever-present camera crew for an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

Also filmed for the show, was one of at least two breast enhancement operations that Kris is known to have had in her life.

'I thought it was such a great idea to film that,' Kris told the Today show at the time.

'The reason I went in and did that was because I had had my implants in for 152 years - you know, a long time, way longer than their shelf life.'

Speaking at an event last year, Kris also said on the matter: 'I think you have to listen to your body, and after 25 years my body was telling me to switch it up.'

When it comes to defending her decision for allowing her surgeries to have been filmed, Kris has said: 'I have cameras in my house 24/7. I can’t just go, "I’m going for coffee," and come back with new boobs.'

One left-sided profile. One right-sided profile. Two different facial expressions. That will make anyone look a bit different.
