Alexis Bellino called out Dr. Jennifer Armstrong on her Instagram Story after she made claims about her plastic surgery.
After Jen, 48, shared an Instagram video in which she showcased before and after photos of Alexis, the Real Housewives of Orange County alum, also 48, blasted the doctor’s credentials and accused Jen of using her for publicity as she denied using filler and addressed her use of Botox.
“This ‘Dr’ knows nothing about my surgery. And I’ve NEVER had fillers. Botox, yes. BUT DO NOT BELIEVE HER!!!! DM me if you want to know the truth,” she wrote. “I will give you all records. I’m sorry I was used for her gain, but she is falsely giving you information so I would never allow her to touch my face, hands, foot, hair…NOTHING!!!!”
Alexis’ Story was shared after Jen posted a video of herself pulling Alexis’ past sinus surgery into question.
“That’s what we’re calling it? Because, of course, you go to a plastic surgeon for sinus surgery and not an [ear, nose, and throat doctor],” Jen noted, pointing fans to a before photo of Alexis taken in 2013 and an after image from 2024.
“Her nose is different … that was the ‘sinus surgery’ that I believe she did on air,” Jen alleged.
She then said that in Alexis’ before picture, the RHOC alum had a “more apple cheek.”
“That is something that happens as we age. We lose volume in our face,” she explained.
According to Jen, the narrowing of Alexis’ nose had also made her eyes look closer together, and the area between her nose and mouth was longer in the after photo.
As for the rest of her, Jen said that Alexis had a shorter, more “youthful” forehead in her before photo with her brows “slightly up” in the after, which could have been the result of a brow lift.
Overall, Jen said Alexis was more “skeletonized” and “thinned out” now than she was before, with a wider chin and more smile lines.
As a result, Jen recommended a brow lift, lid tightening, and Sculptura for Alexis’ mid and lower face, and said she could also benefit from microneedling and threads on her neck to tighten her skin.
