Kris Jenner?s fiasco: Food allergy or lip filler?

Some plastic surgeons say it?s unlikely that Kris Jenner had a bad reaction to food when her top lip blew up?in an episode of ??Keeping up with the Kardashians? that aired?on Sunday night.? While food was cited as a possible culprit on the show, the doctors?suspect lip injections gone awry.

Dr. Richard Chaffoo,?who?s?served as president of the San Diego Plastic Surgery Society and chief of plastic surgery at Scripps Memorial Hospital, says the reaction looks like it was caused by a lip filler because it?was limited to a specific area.

?If you have an allergic reaction, for instance a reaction to a certain food, it is a more generalized reaction and you can develop swelling on the face and body,? he told In Your Face. ?In this photo, there seems to be swelling mostly in the upper lip. The size of the upper lip seems to be about triple the size of the lower lip. She may have possibly had a permanent filler put in, which can cause an intense reaction.?

Chaffoo?s response is similar to what other plastic surgeons told the website Hollywood Life.

?Kris? reaction could absolutely be from a lip injection,? Dr. Ramtin Kassir told HL.??The gel injectables like Restylane, Perlane, and Juvederm hold 1000x their weight in water so there?s swelling after the injection, but then it goes down.?

Celebrity-watching plastic surgeon Dr. Anthony Youn suggested the reaction could have been an allergy to a substance in a lip filler, perhaps an anesthetic. And another?doctor told the site?that?allergic reactions to food?typically involve the lower lip and even the tongue.

But if it was a lip injection that?inadvertently?turned her into?a cartoon, wouldn?t she just cop to it?? Kris Jenner isn?t exactly shy about getting plastic surgery, even documenting the moments before and after her facelift last season and airing?them?on the show.

Hmmm.
