Chrissy Teigen Claps Back at Haters Over Her Transformation - What's Her Secret?

Chrissy Teigen wasted no time in firing back after being accused of getting facial fillers. Taking to her Instagram Story, the 37-year-old Cravings founder shared a screenshot from the account Beauty by Dr. Kay and responded to plastic surgeon Dr. Kay Durairaj's comments about her "new face." Dr. Kay had suggested that Teigen's altered appearance was due to an excessive amount of filler being injected, resulting in a distorted look.

Durairaj explained in her post that excessive use of hyaluronic gel fillers without proper attention to foundational elements, skin structure, and support can result in a swollen and puffy appearance. As the host of the "Beauty Bytes" podcast, she emphasized her commitment to achieving natural-looking and artistic results for her patients.

Teigen, on the other hand, refuted claims of using fillers on her face. In her response on social media, she stated, "I simply gained weight." She then acknowledged @beautybydrkay for her input.

Taking it a step further, the previous host of Lip Sync Battle shared additional screenshots of negative remarks about her appearance, all stemming from Durairaj's original post. One comment read, "She now has the face she deserves," while another remarked, "She used to be beautiful... I don't understand why she altered her face like that."

Teigen, who experienced the loss of her son Jack in 2020 but welcomed her rainbow baby Esti in January, has always been open about her beauty regimen. In an interview with Refinery29 in June 2019, the Utah native revealed that her skin has become more sensitive after giving birth. She used to heavily rely on chemical peels and extractions, but now she prefers a less aggressive and harsh skincare routine. Although she occasionally indulges in PRP blood facials with Dr. Jason Diamond, she understands that it's not necessary to incorporate them into her daily routine.

Teigen has consistently denied having unnatural fillers, but she has been transparent about the cosmetic procedures she has chosen to undergo. In an interview with Allure in May 2017, the cookbook author humorously stated that while everything else may be fake, her cheeks are real. She expressed that people often mistake her cheeks as being fake, but she reassures them that they are indeed a natural part of her face. Teigen appreciates her makeup artist, Mary Phillips, for her talent in creating a natural look with her makeup.

Teigen revealed that she underwent a procedure to have her armpit fat removed nine years ago, describing it as one of the best decisions she made. Despite it being a secret, she expressed her lack of concern and shared that the procedure increased the size of her arms by two inches. This transformation not only made her feel more comfortable in strapless dresses but also boosted her confidence.
