Chrissy Teigen surprised fans on Sunday (February 14) when she shared photos of her with fuller lips on Instagram Story – we’re talking EXTRA POUTY smackers here.
However, the model and cookbook author, who’s been very candid with fans on social media – remember her breast-implant removal journey? – also dispelled any cosmetic surgery speculations from the get-go and revealed the reason why her lips were so plump over the weekend.
Posting a selfie video on IG Stories with her lower lip visibly swollen, she says, “You’re all just gonna think that I got lip fillers, but I didn’t get lip fillers between last night and now. I, like, bit an orange to try to open it, and I think there must’ve been, like, a pesticide or something on it.”
And although she’s trying to laugh it off, she seems to be clearly uncomfortable.
“Look at this. It’s, like, hard,” she says touching it. “Look how bouncy it is.”
She appeared to try and make the most of her sitch by glamming it up with some makeup, but at the same time pointed out something else happening to her face. “Nose is swollen too lol,” she wrote over the video.
And, in yet another clip, she says, “I feel like it’s getting bigger.”
She later went on IG and shared more close-up pictures of her face – this time on her grid. And her condition appears to have gotten worse – both her lower and upper lips were significantly swollen!
“LMAO lookin great!! not filler fail – I’d tell you! I don’t give a s–t,” she wrote in the caption. “It happened after I bit the skin of a suspicious orange. Maybe pesticides on the outside? I look like a juicy blow up doll, freshly unpacked.”
Luckily, dermatologist Dr. Sandra Lee, a.k.a. Dr. Pimple Popper, weighed in on the comments to give Chrissy her diagnosis and recommendation: “Allergy of course. Take antihistamine and of course no more eating the suspicious fruit! ❤️.”
And by Sunday night, when Chrissy posted a short clip of her and daughter Luna, her condition appears to have improved – the swelling seems to have gone down significantly. The mom-of-two was also practically glowing – to the point that Luna told her: “You’re so shiny!”
We’re glad to see Chrissy is doing much better. But keep in mind allergic reactions aren’t to be taken lightly – they can become serious medical conditions, especially when there’s swelling involved. Be sure to consult a doctor ASAP.
And while what happened with her lips was NOT because of a cosmetic procedure, Chrissy has gone under the knife for other procedures – including the breast implant removal mentioned earlier and
the endometriosis surgery she underwent earlier this month to help alleviate pain from the disorder.
On Sunday, she also went on Instagram Story to share a nude mirror selfie showing her scars on her breasts and bandages on incisions on her lower abdomen, and celebrated self-love on the Day Of Hearts.
“Happy Valentine’s Day. Love yourself! B—h has been throuuugh it,” Chrissy captioned the photo.
