Washington, November 21 : Kim Kardashian has dismissed reports that she got surgery to make her nose and lips smaller.

Star magazine had made the claim in a recent issue.

However, the socialite insisted that the magazine ran a "before" photo of her when she was "about 15 lbs heavier than the second photo!"

"Your face always looks different when you lose weight, plus with the contouring on my nose it gives the illusion of a thinner nose," Us magazine quoted her as saying.

She added: "I actually think my nose looks smaller in the first pic than it does in the second. It''s ridiculous... it''s all about the makeup and the angle from which the photo was taken!"

She further mentioned that it was a "no secret" that she contours her nose to make a "bump go away."

She ended: "I guess it''s a compliment to my makeup artist that he does such a good job contouring my nose that it appears smaller.

"But hey, Star mag thinks it looks smaller... yay! My dream come true, hahaha!" (ANI)
