According to the famous fashion model, her lips were swollen due to the fact that she decided to help herself clean the orange with her teeth, and not because of fillers.

On her Instagram account, Teigen explained that she had an obvious allergic reaction to pesticides or something else that was in the orange peel, which she took a bite to eat the fruit in the evening. “A juicy inflatable doll just unpacked. You all probably think that I decided to enlarge my lips, and something went wrong, but I did not run to the beautician at night, but just decided to have a snack. So I ate an orange,”she said with a laugh in a series of stories.
The model added that not only her lips were swollen, which became firm and elastic to the touch, her nose was also swollen, just not so much. After a couple of hours, the situation, judging by the publication, continued to deteriorate, but the model did not say if she took any measures to reduce the swelling.
Dr. Sanjeev Jain, a board-certified allergist and immunologist, commented on the case to Insider. According to him, Teigen's theory may be correct, but there are a number of other possibilities to get a similar reaction. "Since we don't know how long it took between the time she ate the orange and the time her lips started to swell, chances are she did develop an allergic reaction to the fruit." The specialist added that if the reaction was delayed, it could have been caused by some other chemical, not food. "When people react to food, it usually happens quite quickly - within a couple of hours, but chemical allergies often develop slowly - from 4-5 to 24 hours."
By the way, if you have never done charity work before, but really want to try, and at the same time involve your child in a good deed, then pay attention to the joint project of Letidor.ru and McDonald's:
