Chrissy Teigen has shared on Instagram that she doesn’t have to invest in lip fillers if she wants a little extra volume. The 35-year-old took to social media last weekend to show off a picture of her swollen lips, revealing that the dramatic new look was merely an allergic reaction caused by taking a bite out of an orange.

Teigen speculated that the swelling had come from pesticides on the skin of the orange, explaining on Instagram that even her nose seemed to be swelling. “I, like, bit an orange to try to open it, and I think there must have been like a pesticide or something on it,” she said whilst laughing, zooming in on her newly voluminous lips.
Later in the day, Teigen checked back in on her Instagram story, shoowing that her lips had continued to grow in the last two hours instead of going down. Two days later, Teigen shared another update with fans, revealing that her lips were still incredibly swollen with no sign of change.
In her caption for the dramatic post, she wrote, “lmao lookin great!! not filler fail - I’d tell you! I don’t give a s**t! 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.”
Teigen has been on social media since the incident and it looks like her lips are finally back to normal after days of being swollen. Whether it was a late onset allergy to oranges or a bad reaction to pesticides, it’s still up in the air. But it’s safe to say she won’t be getting filler anytime soon!
