Emily Ratajkowski addressed her accused of lip injections directly in an Instagram story on Friday.
The pregnant model, who is expecting her first child with indie filmmaker Sebastian Bear-McClard, snapped a selfie with a straight face mirror and wrote long captions about her changing face and body.
“To everyone who says ‘you have to stop the lip injections’: I’ve never had lip injections (no judges do that – you all look good!), But you can not even inject when you’m pregnant!” Ratajkowski (29) wrote. “The woman’s blood volume increases by 50%, so ladies can get a little puffy in the face and lips during pregnancy.”

Although Ratajkowski is adamant that dermal fillers cannot be done during pregnancy, it is not legal to do so. In addition, the long-term effects of fillers or Botox-like substances on pregnant or breastfeeding women are not yet known, according to a report by Sistine Plastic Surgery – a plastic surgery clinic in Pittsburgh.
