After A Photo From Her Live TV Segment Went Viral, Larsa Pippen Responded To Criticism Of Her 'Noticeably Overfilled' Appearance

Last week, Larsa Pippen found herself at the center of public attention after a photo of her on Fox 5's Good Night New York went viral. Larsa, 51, was criticized for her appearance, with several internet users — including cosmetic professionals, like Dr. Mai Kaga — sharing their thoughts. Kaga, who is a board-certified aesthetics provider, said that the Real Housewives star looked 'noticeably overfilled' in a now-viral video. 'Larsa Pippen, Real Housewives of Miami, has all the money in the world, and ended up looking like this,' she said, suggesting that Larsa's filler had 'gone wrong.' Related: Kaga captioned the video, 'From excessive facial filler to questionable surgery choices, her transformation is a reminder that not all cosmetic work is good work. Even with unlimited funds, choosing the right injector matters.' Before long, Larsa hopped into the comments to address all the talk around her appearance. 'Honey I had PRP and had an allergic reaction so chill out,' she wrote. PRP refers to platelet-rich plasma, which is a cosmetic procedure that involves a patient's own blood cells being injected back into their face in order to 'accelerate healing in a specific area,' per Johns Hopkins Medicine. Related: Larsa doubled down in a video shared to her Instagram stories, in which she said, 'Hey guys, you can relax. I had PRP on my face a couple days ago, so my face was a bit swollen. It looks like it's coming down. So you guys can just calm down.' And later on, the reality star shared another video addressing the photo. "So, I feel like that photo went viral… I'm wondering if someone made it look like that, because this is what my face looks like, you guys. I am on TV, so you know what I look like," she said. Related: 'I did have PRP, I did have an allergic reaction to the PRP, which I didn't even know you could have. So my face is a bit swollen. But it doesn't look like that. So, keep on hating guys,' she said. Kaga later responded to Larsa's original Instagram comment, writing in a separate video caption, 'Overfilled vs allergic reaction? The biggest culprit here is nobody saying NO. No to unnecessary treatments, no to too much filler, no the wrong procedures. Whose fault is it? The patient or the injector?' She also wrote in the comments, 'Double board certified physician here AKA Honey. Allergic reactions to PRP are extremely rare. You simply will not find allergies to your own blood cells all that common. Second- allergic reactions don't last 3 seasons on a streaming network. Honestly, this post really was not about Larsa, but about cautioning the current and future generations about being over treated and overfilled, unnecessarily and covering up your own natural features that make you uniquely beautiful. If even one person can learn from us pointing out what being overfilled looks like, it's worth it.' Related: Well then. Let us know what you think in the comments.
