8 Celebrities Who Dissolved Their Fillers And Why They Did It

You're probably familiar with the term "eyebrow blindness," when people overfill or overpluck their brows to an unflattering degree. Most of us are guilty of following the latest beauty craze, often leading us to overlook the trends that don't suit our features. When I looked back at my high school photos, I realized I had the same issue – I was oblivious to the mistake of using a dark pencil to fill in my already thick brows.

This tendency to blindly follow trends isn't limited to eyebrows, though. It's a widespread issue in the beauty world, which brings me to my next point: We seriously need to talk about filler blindness.

Dermal fillers are injected into the skin to smooth out wrinkles and make the skin look plumper. The problem is they can migrate, and it's an accessible cosmetic treatment that's easy to get carried away with.

Molly-Mae Hague, a former Love Island star, went viral in 2019 after the audience noticed her "botched" look due to too many injectibles.

She later got them removed. Look how gorgeous she looks!

The pillow face appearance and major duck lips have dominated Hollywood and social media, but dissolving fillers are officially the new trend. Kylie Jenner revealed in a recent The Kardashians episode that she, too, eliminated some injectibles. “I went on a journey the last year dissolving half my lip filler,” Jenner shared in an episode.

Here are eight celebrities who got their fillers dissolved and why.

Kristin Davis

Sex and the City star Kristin Davis dissolved her face and lip fullers in 2021 after revealing that the mean comments over her appearance made her cry. “I have done fillers and it’s been good, and I’ve done fillers and it’s been bad,” she told The Telegraph last summer. “I’ve had to get them dissolved, and I’ve been ridiculed relentlessly. And I have shed tears about it. It’s very stressful.”

The actress admitted that she didn't realize how much the filler had changed her appearance until friends became honest with her. Sidebar: Real friends will tell you the truth because they care about you – even if it might hurt your feelings. “People personally blame us when it goes wrong,” she said of the cosmetic treatment, adding, “No one told me it didn’t look good for the longest time, but luckily, I do have good friends who did say eventually.”

Courteney Cox 

When Courteney Cox was asked about her biggest beauty regret, she quickly replied, “Fillers.” The Friends star chalked up the dramatic filler look to the “domino effect” that pushed her to get more. “You don’t realize that you look a little off, so then you keep doing more because you look normal to yourself,” she explained. “And you look in the mirror and go, ‘Oh, that looks good.’ You don’t realize what it looks like to the outside person.”

“Luckily, I was able to reverse most of that, and now I’m actually just older,” Cox added. She continued, “I look at pictures of me when I thought I looked OK, and I can’t believe it.” According to Today, Cox’s friends also told her about the dangers of overdoing injectables.

Simon Cowell 

The American Idol judge removed his fillers, feeling that he looked "like something out of a horror film."

"There was a stage where I might have gone a bit too far," he admitted in a 2022 interview with The Sun. "I saw a picture of me from ‘before' the other day, and didn't recognize it as me first of all."

Cowell’s young son Eric was apparently in "hysterics" over his dad’s face. "Enough was enough," he said. "There is no filler in my face at all now. Zero."

Yolanda Hadid 

Yolanda Hadid said it was time to go au naturel after years of Botox, surgical enhancements, and fillers following her diagnosis with Lyme disease. "Fifty five and smiling from the inside out...finally back to the original 1964," she wrote in an Instagram post. "Living in a body free of breast implants, fillers, botox, extensions and all the bullsh*t I thought I needed in order to keep up with what society conditioned me to believe what a sexy woman should look like until the toxicity of it all almost killed me."

Hadid is prioritizing health over chasing beauty standards. She continued, "It took me many years of undoing some bad choices I made for myself before I finally found the freedom to sustainable internal beauty and acceptance of what is the best version of myself by no standards but my own...It’s on us to learn to love our selves and celebrate our unique, one of a kind beauty at all ages as we move through this journey called life. Beauty has no meaning without your health."

Demi Moore

Demi Moore shocked the internet when she walked the runway with puffy cheekbones and lips. Experts believed the appearance was due to "too much filler in the mid-section and buccal fat removal," aesthetics doctor Jonny Betteridge noted.

Unfortunately, Moore never addressed her glow-up, but she probably decided to dissolve the injectibles after numerous people critiqued her 2021 Fendi runway look.

Blac Chyna

Angela White, known professionally as "Blac Chyna," opened up to Allure about the dissolving process. The rapper said she was done with the "unflattering" appearance. "First of all, I'm tired of the look, and it's just not flattering. It's just not what I look like," she said. "It totally changed my face. I'm ready to get back to Angela."

Tallulah Willis

This year, Tallulah Willis, the daughter of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, shared an honest post on Instagram showing how her face looks after reversing her fillers.

“I was scared to mention but I recently got my filler dissolved - after being very emotionally and psychologically wrapped up in what I thought it gave me - I hadn’t seen my real bone structure in like 6 years,” she wrote in the caption. “Still learning to dial back the futzing and the pokes and sit with myself as I am, which is hard when your brain tells you that yes! more is better!”

Molly-Mae Hague

Molly-Mae Hague said she took it way too far with the cosmetic treatments but admitted on Instagram Stories that she's "come a long way" on her "filler journey." She said she felt "terrified" of herself when she looked at old photos.

The TV personality decided to dissolve her fillers after images of her went viral on social media. "But there was this one pivotal moment where I’d gone and got loads of filler, and I posted a YouTube video, and I hadn’t let the filler settle, and it was really swollen, and a screenshot from that video, it trended on Twitter for weeks," she explained.

"It was horrendous. It was utterly horrendous," she continued. "My face was literally, like, it was just awful."

Hague received love and support for her decision to dissolve her fillers."I thought, one day I’m going to get my lips dissolved. It was a process. I went and got my lips dissolved, and I posted about it on YouTube, and I didn’t expect the response that I got. It was huge."

In the end, Hague recalled the process as "a significant moment" for her. "I didn’t realize how much respect that would get me," she said. "I didn’t do it for respect, I did it for myself. I didn’t do it for anyone else, I did it because I knew that I needed to."
