KELLY Ripa has reignited debate over her face transformation after posting a makeup tutorial online raising questions about her changing appearance.
An injectable expert has claimed the 53-year-old TV star’s “wide” mouth, “popped” cheekbones and “smoothed” chin are due to a “subtle” injectable routine using filler drops and Botox.
Kelly showed off her lip coloring routine on Instagram on July 5th.
The TV presenter shared a clip in which her blonde hair was pulled back and she highlighted her lips using eyeliner, lipstick and gloss.
“Although I like the shape of my lips, like all women my age, my upper lip looks like I was sucked into Middle Earth,” she joked.
But fans were a little skeptical that that’s all she’s doing.

“She was just shutting up the critics who accused her of fillers,” one commented.
“You look different for some reason, your face looks longer and narrower,” added another.
“No, I didn’t get lip fillers. This is the lip trick you monsters,” Kelly captioned her post.
Luxury Injector Tara Adasheva of Neinstein Plastic Surgery said Kelly’s mouth appeared “wider” in the clip.
“She appears to have tried lip fillers at some point,” Adashevwho did not treat Kelly, told The US Sun.
“Kelly seems to have kept her lip fillers, but it’s been very subtle.
“She can get fillers once a year, so the shape of her mouth has changed over time.
“The lips look longer and wider than her younger cherry lips, but she hasn’t applied filler religiously.”
Adashev further described Kelly’s cosmetic treatment, to which she says she has added Botox over the years.
“Kelly hasn’t had any specific facial surgery, so her face is all volume-based work,” she said.
“Kelly didn’t overdo it with Botox or fillers and doesn’t look too fat.
“Her face has changed drastically over the years, and she now has high cheekbones and a wider mouth.
“She has probably had cheek fillers since 2012 and Botox at least twice a year, probably with lip fillers every now and then.
“Kelly has probably spent up to $96,000 on cosmetic work so far.”
MAKE A POP
Adashev suggested that Kelly add filler mainly to her cheekbones.
“Kelly now has pronounced cheekbones, which are standing out to give her some structure,” she said.
“She’s probably getting filler drops to create what’s called a hills and valleys contour look.
“Her cheekbone should be like the top of the hill, and the valley should be the middle of her face, and you want that contour.
Kelly seems to focus on small filler enhancements and dips to give her a little push here and there and for structure.

“I’ve never treated her and I don’t know if she focuses on maintaining that square face shape.
“Kelly seems to focus on small filler enhancements and dips to give her a little push here and there and for structure.
“She also lost her original face when she lost weight.”
Emmy winner Kelly admitted to having Botox in the past.
“For me, it was just another comfort level,” she said People in 2022.
“There are procedures you could have done,” she added.
Kelly’s jawline has been softened for less volume.

“And then when you start talking about what you’re doing, people get very open about what they’re doing, and then you start negotiating doctors.”
She said she started her Botox program at age 40 and told Glam in 2022 that she receives it every 10 months.
VOLUME UP
According to Adashev Kelly, the use of Botox could have become more frequent lately.
“For the masseter muscles, she would probably have to come in every 10 weeks and get a Botox injection,” she said.
“This happens if you are someone who just squeezes and grinds.
“Kelly’s jaw appears softened for less volume.
“She now has more of a square face, which could be due to keeping her masseter muscles under control.
“The lower part of her face and lower jaw are now a little more pronounced to give her some structure, and she is also slimmer.
“So she became very thin, leaving a little structure in her jaw to make sure it was still there.
“With Kelly’s Botox, she’ll probably also do her forehead between her eyebrows and around her eyes.”
Off TV, Kelly and co-host Mark Consuelos enjoy one of the best marriages in showbiz.
They met in 1995 when they starred on All My Children together and have been married since 1996.
They are parents to Lola, Michael, 25, and Joaquin Antonio, 19.
Her nose appears thinner, but could be contoured.

When Kelly shared a throwback of the couple in 2018, fans questioned whether she had gotten a nose job.
“I’ll tell you right now. No nose job and no veneers. I wouldn’t sleep with a retainer every night if I had one,” she responded on Instagram.
She did, however, fix her earlobes.
“I had gauges, like hanging gauges,” she said on her show. She claimed that her lobes hung down because of wearing heavy earrings.
SHE NOSE DOES NOTHING
According to Adashev, Kelly’s thinner nose appears to be from makeup.
“Her nose looks thinner, but it can be contoured,” she explained.
“I don’t know if Kelly necessarily got a nose job or not.”
Otherwise, Kelly’s anti-aging routine includes using an LED mask, sleeping lip mask, and eye creams.
She has natural signs of aging around her eyes.

“If Mark walks in and sees that on my face, he leaves the room. I do it maybe twice a week if I’m lucky.” she told Glamor about the mask.
She also stated that TV makeup was bad for her skin.
“I’ve been using makeup for television for 33 years and I can say with complete certainty that it’s the most harmful thing there is for your skin,” she said.
“I look at my mother, who is 82 and has barely any wrinkles,” Kelly added.
COMPLETE
“Kelly Ripa looks good, and here’s another celebrity who has aged well,” Adashev added.
“She has natural signs of aging around her eyes.
“Kelly carried weight in her face before, so people like Kelly could usually ask for a thinner chin.
“They want more Botox and spikes on their cheekbones to give them more shape.
“Kelly Hills and Valleys treatment and/or fills are not quarterly.
“She would have them low-maintenance once or twice a year.
“There may also have been dental treatment affecting the lower facial area.”
