It’s sort of remarkable to me that Larsa Pippen has fashioned any kind of career for herself. She’s 51 years old and Scottie Pippen’s ex-wife. She’s also good friends with the Kardashian clan, and she parlayed her Keeping Up with the Kardashians appearances into a gig on the Real Housewives of Miami. She’s another reality star/entrepreneur/influencer/whatever. Well, for years, Larsa’s deal has been Kardashian-adjacency, meaning that she actually looks like a lost Kardashian sister. She’s always had that fake, plastic look, but her cosmetic work was “subdued” in the sense that she still pretty much looked like herself. Well, not anymore. She overdid the fillers and everything else, as you can see from these photos from last week. Instead of just copping to it, Larsa claims that she had an allergic reaction to PRP, Platelet-Rich Plasma. She’s… claiming she had an allergic reaction to her own blood? Girl. I mean, it’s possible. But pretty unlikely in this case.
Larsa Pippen shocked fans with a dramatic face change this week, but the “Real Housewives of Miami” star is blaming her puffed-up appearance on an “allergic reaction.”
“Honey i had PRP and had an allergic reaction so chill out,” she commented Friday in response to an Instagram post by Dr. Mai Kaga. A PRP treatment, or Platelet-Rich Plasma treatment, is a regenerative medicine technique that “uses a patient’s own blood platelets to promote healing and tissue repair,” according to experts. She also doubled down on her explanation via her Instagram Stories hours later, saying her face “looks like it’s coming down” from the treatment and told her critics to “calm down.”
However, Kaga, an internist, had been speculating that Pippen, 51, went from looking “naturally beautiful to noticeably overfilled” due to “questionable” procedures. Many Bravo fans sided with the doctor and were not buying Pippen’s explanation for her puffy face.
“So is she constantly having a reaction on Miami?!?” one netizen sarcastically asked via social media. “This coming from the woman that denied having a bbl Miami’s first season back😂😂,” another commented, referring to a storyline in Season 4 of “RHOM.”
“Wait…is she really trying to say she’s allergic to her own platelets?? That came from her own blood? Wild choice,” a third added.
Pippen’s comment also garnered a scathing response from Kaga, who wrote back to the reality star, “Double board certified physician here AKA Honey. Allergic reactions to PRP are extremely rare,” the doctor then explained. “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.” Kaga claimed the 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.”
As I said, while Larsa always had that plastic/Kardashian look, she never looked THIS bad. This is something very new – I’m also including some photos of Larsa in June, and her face looked pretty much the same as it has for years. I actually buy that she did something new and maybe she had an allergic reaction to it. But it probably wasn’t PRP. It was like a batch of bad Botox or something.

All that swelling is definitely a reaction to something. Hope it doesn’t affect anything other than her face.
😂😂ok Jan sure.
Yikes.
Surely that is not what she intended and would you not cancel events until it calms down?
If you told me the lady in the red outfit was one of Khloe’s faces I’d believe you.
Yikes, I hope she is telling the truth and that’s not permanent
Jesus😮What happened to her lip line?
There is something wrong. It’s that she can’t stop messing with her face. All those ladies seem to have that problem. Is this like an addiction?
It sure feels like a sickness, and that vapid, blow-up doll look is closely associated with women losing their rights. Can you imagine if we invested as much time and money building our careers and running the world as we do on what we look like?? I get that everyone wants to “look their best” but there is a very, very high price to pay to be a slave to one’s looks, and all women are paying the price for these freakish plastic people.
That’s what I was thinking the other evening as I watched the show. Most of those women seem to be having an allergic reaction to something, their mouths look swollen instead of whatever the heck they were going for.
its even more noticeable next to the new member of cast – real estate barbie who looks very natural but still has had some botox.
speaking of two hot dogs for lips… gawd, larsa WHY?
An allergic reaction is systemic and caused a reaction on her entire face! Her swelling is localized.. She needs a new injector.
That looks painful. Her face is so tight you could pop her like a balloon. Body dysmorphia is real.
While I’m not a Larsa Pippen fan I will always have empathy for her for staying with Scottie Pippen for so long. For a time I worked in the domestic violence/sexual assault field and, well, his name was known in DV circles.
If that’s allergy, it’s a very common one. I work with people so I see this type of allergy semi-regularly.
In all seriousness, I don’t understand why women do this to themselves. I understand fixing something you dislike discreetely, but why make yourself look like you obviously had work done? Is that to signal to other like-minded women that you can afford it?
I’m thinking it’s a case of not thinking it through enough.
The allergy excuse is as fake as her face.
Yeah, take a benedryl, put an icepack on your face and tell the truth.
What, exactly, do these women think is going to happen if they openly admit to having work done? It’s so mundane at this point, practically EXPECTED of women of her age and social status. Does anyone actually give a shit?
These people make themselves look like caricatures and Bratz dolls because they’’re so afraid of a few crows feet or thinner lips. A few tweaks and procedures are not that big a deal but this is just distorting yourself to being unrecognizable. It’s incredibly unattractive.
She looks like Kristi Noem’s doppelgänger
I started watching RHOM last year for the first time & I had to google Larsa Pippen because I wanted to know what she looked like before she messed with her face. I mean sure, all the women on RHOM have done ridiculous amounts of things to their faces, but Larsa’s just made her look non-human. And my goodness, she was beautiful! Her natural self is utterly gorgeous! Why Larsa, why? You have done yourself no favors!
When your PRP is collected, it is mixed with anticoagulant that could have caused an allergic reaction. If the PRP was applied as a gel, it might have been mixed with calcium and thrombin, which would not have come from her and she could have reacted to that too. That being said, my hunch is this is just plain old botched plastic surgery.
To each their own if they want to get work done or not, or how much work. But don’t treat us like we’re stupid.
One of my favorite scenes from one of my favorite movies, All About My Mother (Almodovar) is Agrado’s monologue. She’s a transgender sex worker (again, an Almodovar movie) who gives an audience a tip to toe accounting of all the work she’d had done to be authentic. It’s hilarious.
