More and more celebrities are talking about reversing their cosmetic procedures and giving up dermal fillers. But some of them have found out that it can bring unexpected problems.
Courteney Cox, who was in “Friends”, talked about getting her fillers removed on the “Gloss Angeles” podcast in 2023. The 60 – year – old actress said, “I used too many fillers. Then I had to get them removed. Thank goodness they can be removed. But I think I made a lot of mistakes. Luckily, I could reverse most of it.”
Lala Kent, a reality TV star known for “Vanderpump Rules”, told BravoTV.com about changing her mind. The 34 – year – old said, “I don’t want to do anything to my lips or use fillers anymore. Enough is enough. I started looking at comments and comparing photos, and I’m over it.”
In 2023, model Blac Chyna, also 34 at the time, told “Impact x Nightline” that losing weight made her want to reverse her cosmetic work. She said, “As I lost weight, my features like cheekbones became more obvious. With all the filler, they stuck out more as my face got slimmer. The filler did its job, but now I’m done with it to start a new chapter in my life.”
Ashley Stobart, a UK beauty influencer and podcaster, shares her thoughts on cosmetic procedures with her followers on her podcast “Nip, Tuck, Not Giving A…”. When she was 18 (the legal age in her country), she got non – surgical lip filler injections. She told ABC News, “I needed a quick fix for things like losing volume. I wanted bigger lips, cheeks, and I got jaw, chin, and nose fillers. I was getting all kinds of filler.” Dr. Darien Sutton, an ABC News medical correspondent, said hyaluronic acid, which is often used in fillers, is a gel – like substance injected to make things look plump.
He pointed out that the internet is full of ads from med spas offering cheap deals on fillers and Botox. Sutton said, “When you see online ads for fillers, that should be a warning sign. When people are looking for customers, or patients, to do procedures they might not be fully good at, and selling them at a discount, those are warning signs.”
These injectables are sometimes said to dissolve over time. But Sutton said that’s not always true. He said, “We’re learning that many of these substances stay in people’s bodies longer than they expect. And that puts people at risks we’re just starting to understand.”
