Unfiltered Recovery: What Urfi Javed’s Swollen Look Reveals About Fillers

It’s not every day that a celebrity drops their glam filter and shows the internet what cosmetic recovery really looks like. But when it’s Urfi Javed India’s queen of fearless fashion and unfiltered opinions it’s guaranteed to go viral.

Last week, Urfi gave her fans a behind-the-scenes peek into the not-so-pretty aftermath of her lip and laugh line filler dissolving procedure. Her face was visibly swollen, red, and uncomfortable. While the internet gasped (and applauded her honesty), those familiar with aesthetic medicine knew this was normal.

So what really happened to Urfi? Did her lip filler procedure go wrong? Or is this what recovery actually looks like when you’re fixing past cosmetic work?

Let’s break it down, with insights from the experts at Pinkapple Aesthetics, Bangalore.

Urfi Javed's before and after recovery from lip filler dissolving treatment

First, What Are Lip Fillers and Why Do People Get Them?

Lip fillers are one of the most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatments today. Using hyaluronic acid (HA) a naturally occurring substance in your body fillers add volume, shape, and symmetry to the lips.

When done right, they can:

  • Enhance your natural lip shape
  • Restore volume lost with age
  • Balance out asymmetry
  • Give that subtle “my lips but better” look

But as trends and personal preferences change, some people choose to undo or revise their filler work like Urfi did.

Why Did Urfi Javed Dissolve Her Fillers?

Urfi revealed she had done her lip and laugh line fillers years ago, and over time, they became misaligned and unnatural-looking. Her words? “I looked botched.”

Instead of piling on more filler (a common mistake), she made a bold and correct choice: to dissolve it using hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid.

What followed was swelling, bruising, puffiness and, in true Urfi style, an unfiltered Instagram story showing it all.

What the Swelling Means (Spoiler: It’s Normal!)

Let’s get real. Dissolving fillers isn’t a walk in the park.

Here’s what typically happens post-procedure:

  • Day 1–2: Swelling peaks (especially in sensitive areas like the lips)
  • Day 3–7: Bruising, redness, and tenderness
  • Week 2–4: Full resolution as your body adjusts and reabsorbs the enzyme

So when Urfi’s face looked swollen and red it wasn’t a cosmetic failure. It was healing in progress.

“What Urfi Javed showed is exactly what ethical aesthetics is about transparency, recovery, and making informed choices,” says Dr. Pinky Devi Ayyappan, founder of Pinkapple Aesthetics, Bangalore.

What Happens If You Don’t Go to the Right Clinic?

Urfi also dropped a major truth bomb: “Please go to someone who knows what they’re doing. These fancy clinics know nothing.”

Let’s pause on that.

Fillers and dissolvers are injectables that go under your skin, near blood vessels and nerves. A wrong move can lead to:

  • Vascular occlusion (blocked blood supply)
  • Infections
  • Skin necrosis
  • Asymmetry
  • And in extreme cases, even blindness

This is why choosing a trained, experienced, and medically qualified injector is not just smart it’s life-saving.

At Pinkapple Aesthetics, all aesthetic procedures are handled by certified aesthetic doctors with years of hands-on expertise. No shortcuts, no untrained technicians, and definitely no trial-and-error on your face.

Why Only Hyaluronic Fillers Can Be Dissolved

Another important takeaway? Not all fillers are dissolvable.

The only type that can be safely reversed is hyaluronic acid (HA). If someone injected permanent fillers, silicone, or other biostimulators (like Sculptra or Radiesse), dissolving them isn’t possible.

This makes your first choice of filler type and clinic even more important.

At Pinkapple, we only use FDA-approved, premium hyaluronic acid fillers, and maintain detailed records for each client so that you always have options even years later.
