Khloe Kardashian slammed for 'duck lips' and filter 'lies' as fans erupt over new pics
Khloe Kardashian is facing fresh backlash after sharing new photos — just days after insisting she's no longer 'heavily' altering her images. The 41-year-old reality star, who found herself at the center of a Photoshop scandal less than three months ago, recently claimed on a podcast that she's scaled back on using filters, but fans weren't buying it. She also raised eyebrows last month when she got unusually candid on social media about her cosmetic procedures — but noticeably skipped over what many believe is the most obvious tweak: a butt lift. Still, Khloe didn't shy away from the scrutiny, firing back the next day with a detailed breakdown of everything she's had done — complete with shout-outs to her doctors and clinics. But the controversy reignited on Friday, when she posted a batch of scenic outdoor photos to Instagram. While the setting was picturesque, fans were more distracted by her noticeably fuller pout. Khloé Kardashian is under fire once again after posting new photos 'So cute… except those duck lips. Have you ever thought about toning them down a bit?' one critic commented. 'I was thinking the same thing. I thought that 'phase' was over. She's worked so hard on her physique, but those duck lips.' someone else chimed in. Another asked, 'So the whole not using filters anymore, it was just a lie? Lol.' 'Leave Chloe alone, can't you see she fkd her face?' a fan commented bluntly. One wrote, 'You are lying if you say you didn't edit your face in these photos!!!!' Still another added, 'You changed yourself so much I can't recognize you. You were beautiful before, not less than now. Just saying…' Over the years, Khloe has been slammed for using filters, editing applications like FaceApp and getting various plastic surgery. Back in 2021, she finally confessed to undergoing a nose job after years of speculation from fans about her ever-changing appearance. Though the backdrop was stunning, it was Khloé's noticeably plumper pout that stole the spotlight A year later, she even took to Instagram to thank her plastic surgeon, Dr. Kanodia, for her 'perfect nose.' Her plastic surgeon calls himself the 'king of closed scarless rhinoplasty' and is based in Beverly Hills, conveniently close for the Kardashian family who all live nearby. At the time, Khloe opened up about the procedure saying she 'always wanted' to get a nose job, and 'finally got the courage' to do so. Speaking to Robin Roberts during an ABC special on The Kardashians, she said: 'My whole life I would say - I've always wanted my nose done, forever.'

UK health officials issue warning over cosmetic jabs after 38 botulism cases
People seeking cosmetic procedures have been warned to be on their guard by public health experts as they revealed there have been 38 recent cases of botulism poisoning in England linked to unlicensed Botox-like jabs. The UK Health Security Agency said on Friday that cases were first reported in the north-east, with others subsequently reported in the east of England and East Midlands. All were reported between 4 June and 14 July 2025. 'Investigations are ongoing but evidence so far suggests the use of an unlicensed Botox-like product,' UKHSA said, noting those affected by botulism poisoning had shown symptoms including difficulty swallowing, slurred speech and breathing difficulty requiring respiratory support. According to the NHS, botulism is caused by toxins produced by Clostridium botulinum bacteria that attack the nervous system. A purified form of these toxins is the active ingredient in Botox and similar products that are often used for cosmetic purposes, including to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. While rare, botulism can be life-threatening. Treatment often includes the use of anti-toxins as well as interventions to support the body. Dr Gauri Godbole, the consultant medical microbiologist at UKHSA, said symptoms of the condition can take up to four weeks to develop after a Botox-like treatment, and advised anyone experiencing signs, such as difficulties swallowing, to contact NHS 111 and seek treatment. While UKHSA has told medical professionals to watch out for botulism among people who have recently had the cosmetic injections, it also warned the public to take care when seeking such procedures to ensure a qualified person is carrying them out and that they are using the correct jabs. 'If you are considering having a cosmetic procedure, please make sure to check that your practitioner is using a licensed product,' said Godbole, noting there is further information on how to chose a practitioner on the NHS website. Prof Meghana Pandit,co-national medical director at NHS England, added the website also provides advice on the questions to ask, including making sure the person administering the injection is appropriately trained. 'When these procedures go wrong, there is a risk of serious infections and permanent scarring, which is why only registered professionals like a doctor, a nurse or pharmacy prescriber should be prescribing these treatments,' she said. Dr Alison Cave, the chief safety officer at the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), said buying Botox-like products in any other circumstances significantly increases the risk that it is either fake or not licensed for use in the UK. 'Public safety is a top priority for the MHRA,' she said, adding that when unlicensed products were used it 'means that there are no safeguards to ensure products meet the MHRA's standards for quality and safety. As such, they can endanger the health of the people who take them,' she said.

Miley Cyrus' sister Brandi says her recent boob job set a record for being the 'tiniest'
Brandi Cyrus is joining the growing list of stars speaking openly about cosmetic procedures in the age of Kardashian-style transparency. With Kris Jenner casually name-dropping her facelift surgeon, Kylie Jenner admitting to a secret boob job, and Khloe Kardashian listing her tweaks in a viral clapback, the 38-year-old older sister of Miley Cyrus is now opening up about her own 'unusual' cosmetic procedure. On the July 17 episode of Sorry We're Cyrus, the podcast she co-hosts with mom Tish Cyrus, Brandi revealed she got 'tiny' breast implants this past February — but not before spending over a year and a half weighing the decision. 'I had three consultations with different doctors before I picked one,' she shared, stressing the importance of doing your homework. 'Boob jobs are expensive and for me I was like, "You know what, I can spend a hundred dollars here and there to see some different doctors and have some different options because it's a big investment."' She ultimately opted for a modest 185cc implant — a far cry from Kylie's 445cc — and revealed that her surgeon set a personal record. With Kris Jenner naming her facelift surgeon, Kylie admitting a secret boob job, and Khloé listing her tweaks, Miley's sister Brandi is now revealing her own 'unusual' procedure 'He said it was the smallest implant he's ever done.' Brandi explained that while most of her friends warned she'd regret not choosing a larger size, her mom stood firm in her support. 'Absolutely not bigger,' Tish assured her. Brandi proudly described her choice as 'tiny,' and added, 'No regrets because they look great.' She also stressed how carefully she approached the decision, saying, 'I'm not one to make rash decisions like that. I would rather sit with it and if I still want to do it after a year or so, then it's like, 'Okay, then I really want to do it.'' 'Whereas, sometimes I really think I want to do something and then after a couple months I just don't. I think it's something don't do impulsively. I would think about it and do your research.' Tish, meanwhile, applauded Brandi's restraint — and got candid about her own plastic surgery history. Over the years, she revealed, she'd had four separate breast surgeries and was left disappointed by most. 'I've literally done it four times, three of which I hated,' Tish shared. 'Every time I wanted to go smaller and smaller and they would tell me why they had to do it a certain way and I'd come out with bigger boobs. I'm like, 'How do we get bigger when I came in here for a reduction?'' Eventually, Tish said, she insisted on a 'big A' cup — even though her surgeon was hesitant to oblige. 'She did what I asked and I freaking love them,' Tish said. 'I've never loved anything more. I barely ever wear a bra. I freaking love it. It is amazing.'

Fake Botox suspected in dozens of poisoning cases
Thirty-eight cases of botulism poisoning have been recorded in England in the last six weeks after cosmetic procedures suspected to have involved the use of unlicensed Botox-like products, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) said. Botulism is a rare but life-threatening condition caused by toxins produced by Clostridium botulinum bacteria. Cases have been recorded in the East, East Midlands and the North East regions. The UKHSA urged those seeking treatments to obtain proof that their Botox practitioner was qualified and that their products were licensed. Botox injections are a common cosmetic procedure given to reduce facial lines and wrinkles. The product is made from small, purified doses of botulinum toxin, produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. Larger doses can cause botulism. According to the UKHSA, the evidence so far suggests clinics involved in the cases have used unlicensed Botox-like the most recent cases, recorded in East England and the East Midlands, patients had difficulty swallowing, slurred speech and breathing difficulties requiring respiratory symptoms of botulism can include droopy eyelids, double vision and weak facial muscles. Dr Gauri Godbole, of UKHSA, said botulism related to aesthetic procedures was rare but could be serious. She added that symptoms could take up to four weeks to develop and urged anyone who suspected they were suffering to contact the NHS 111 Alison Cave, chief safety officer at the Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, said botulinum toxin was only available through prescriptions written by qualified healthcare workers. "Buying botulinum toxin in any other circumstances significantly increases the risk of getting a product which is either falsified or not licensed for use in the UK. "This means that there are no safeguards to ensure products meet the MHRA's standards for quality and safety." The Joint Council for Cosmetic Practitioners says it receives numerous reports of the "illicit supply and use of unlicensed botulinum toxins".It suggests those considering Botox injections ask for information about the product, including its brand and intended dose, before accepting a should check these details again with the person carrying out the procedure on the day of their treatment. The prescription for Botox must be in the customer's name. The UKHSA recommends the following precautions:Make sure a practitioner is qualified, is wearing appropriate protective equipment and washes their hands. Practitioners should be happy to discuss their qualificationsThose seeking a procedure should be offered a consultation beforehand that covers checks for medical conditions A consent form outlining the risks should be discussed and signed.
