SKIMS, the shapewear brand co-founded by Kim Kardashian, introduced a line of butt-enhancing products in 2025 designed to provide a fuller, rounder, and perkier silhouette without the need for surgery. The collection included padded shorts, leggings, and bodysuits, all crafted from SKIMS’ signature Seamless Sculpt fabric. Kardashian remains committed to her successful line — and it seems she has secrets of her own when it comes to maintaining her rear. Here’s what a source said about how Kardashian maintains her signature backside.

Kim Kardashian uses sculpting treatments and devices to enhance her butt, a source says

The Kardashian-Jenner women are known for their physiques, and it’s no secret that they work hard to maintain their signature looks. Rumors have swirled for years that Kim Kardashian has undergone procedures to enhance her butt.

In May 2025, a source spilled to Life & Style about Kardashian’s alleged methods for keeping her backside lifted and wrinkle-free. The insider noted that the Kardashian-Jenner sisters have always worn “padded underwear” to enhance their behinds — and Kardashian sells padded SKIMS products for this look. But the reality star does even more.

“She exfoliates it every day and uses a special AHA serum on it twice a week to keep it baby smooth,” the source alleged. “She also has a machine that’s anti-cellulite that she uses morning and night for 15 minutes, as well as a red-light therapy light she lays under face down for 5 minutes, twice a day, to keep the skin tight and encourage collagen production.”

While Kardashian “denies getting filler or implants,” the source noted that Kardashian buys other treatments. “She loves getting EMsculpt treatments on her butt, to keep it perky.”

Kim Kardashian doesn’t address her possible plastic surgeries often. However, she once called out tabloids for assuming she got a butt implant after she gave birth to her eldest daughter, North.

“I’m seeing all these nonsense tabloids claiming I have butt implants-injections. Get a life!” she tweeted at the time. “Using pics of me 15 pounds skinnier (before I had my baby) comparing to me now! I still have weight to lose. Anyone who has had a baby knows how hard it is to lose weight (especially the last bit of weight) & your body totally changes!”

Two years later, Kardashian addressed the infamous dent in her butt that caused a stir in the media. Many tabloids assumed that the dent was proof that Kardashian got butt injections to enhance her behind. Kardashian addressed the rumors on a livestream.

“I went to go get a cortisone shot in my butt,” she said, noting that the injection was to treat psoriasis. “I lived right behind Kitson [a boutique in Los Angeles near Cedars-Sinai Hospital]. One of my neighbors was a dermatologist at Cedars. I go in there and he’s like, ‘There’s a one in a billion chance that you will get a huge indent in your butt.’ Of course, I get a huge indent on my butt.”

“There is a picture of me in Miami wearing an electric blue dress, and another picture of me walking down Robertson,” Kardashian continued. “You see the indent. And I think that’s when the rumors started: ‘She’s had implants.'”

Kim Kardashian admitted to the cosmetic procedures she’d had done

Kim Kardashian admitted to having Botox injections while speaking to Allure in 2022. However, she noted that she never got filler, and her eyebrows and eyelashes were real.

“A little bit of Botox. But I’ve chilled, actually,” she said. … “I’ve never had eyelash extensions. I’ve never done anything. I have a drop of mascara on today. I’ve never filled my cheeks. I’ve never filled my lips.”

“I care. I really, genuinely care about looking good,” Kardashian added. “I probably care more than 90% 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.”
