11 Celebrities Who Dissolved Their Fillers or Stopped Getting Them – 30 Before & After Photos

From plumped lips to frozen foreheads, these once-flawless stars are now reversing the very procedures that made them famous. But behind the glamour lies a trail of regret, ridicule, and raw confessions — and not everyone made it out unscathed.

In an industry obsessed with youth, fillers and Botox once promised perfection. But now, these celebrities are ripping back the curtain — revealing the emotional cost of chasing the ideal face.

1. Ariana Grande

Ariana Grande, 2023, bare-faced and vulnerable in Vogue's "Beauty Secrets" video — and instead of just beauty tips, she offered a moment of pure, painful honesty.

"Had a ton of lip filler over the years. And Botox," she revealed as she dabbed gloss on her lips. "I stopped in 2018 'cause I just felt so — too much." Her voice dropped. "I just felt like hiding, you know?"

The former child star turned megastar didn't just apply makeup — she peeled back the mask, showing fans the toll the spotlight had taken.

2. Blac Chyna

Blac Chyna, the bombshell influencer who built her brand on high-octane glam, left her fans stunned in March 2023 when she filmed herself heading to dissolve her fillers — cheeks, jaw, lips — gone.

"Enough is enough. It all has to come out. It’s just as simple as that," she declared, calm but resolute in her car.

When asked why she was undoing it all, her answer was brutally clear, "I'm tired of the look... It's just not flattering. It's just not what I look like." She added, "It totally changed my face. I'm ready to get back to Angela."

Her caption read, "I removed all my face fillers, I'm so happy 🙌🏽🙏🏽❤️."

3. Tallulah Willis

Tallulah Willis, daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, opened up about her emotional battle with cosmetic enhancement in a 2024 Instagram post.

"Hi! I was scared to mention but I recently got my filler dissolved," she admitted. "I hadn't seen my real bone structure in like 6 years."

She revealed how deeply she'd become entangled in the illusion. "Still learning to dial back the futzing and the pokes and sit with myself as I am," she wrote. "Which is hard when your brain tells you that yes! more is better!"

4. Simon Cowell

Simon Cowell, the brutally honest TV judge known for critiquing others, finally turned the harsh lens inward in 2022 — and what he saw shocked even him.

"There was a stage where I might have gone a bit too far," he confessed. "I saw a picture of me from 'before' the other day, and didn't recognise it as me first of all."

His son's reaction? Laughter. "[My son] was in hysterics," he recalled. That was the turning point. "Enough was enough. There is no filler in my face at all now. Zero."

He also added that his old face looked "like something out a horror film."

5. Courteney Cox

Courteney Cox, the "Friends" icon adored for her timeless looks, confessed that the fight to stay young in Hollywood led her down a path she never expected and couldn't maintain.

"I would say it's a common thing you go through as you age, especially in Hollywood," she admitted. "You have to accept getting older, and that's something that I had a hard time doing."

6. Melanie Griffith

Melanie Griffith didn't see the change in herself — until the public turned cruel.

"I didn't [realize] until people started saying. 'Oh my god, what has she done?!'" she revealed. Wounded and overwhelmed, she sought help elsewhere.

"I was so hurt I went to a different doctor and he started dissolving all of this [stuff] that this other woman doctor had put in," she said. "Hopefully, I look more normal now."

7. Anna Faris

Anna Faris opened up about the moment she began altering her appearance — and how it quietly snowballed into something she would come to regret.

"I did it for a little bit and I noticed a small difference, but no one else ever said anything," she shared, referring to her lip injections during the filming of "The House Bunny."

"I kept wondering if anybody else even noticed," she recalled. When her friends finally did speak up, it was too late. Her lips had grown too large, and the compliments never came.

She began to wean off the injections, later calling the enhancements a "mistake" and "definitely not the right choice."

8. Yolanda Hadid

In 2019, former "Real Housewives" star and model Yolanda Hadid shared a jaw-dropping mirror selfie in lingerie. "Fifty Five and smiling from the inside out.... Finally back to the original 1964," she wrote.

Then came the bombshell. She candidly shared, "Living in a body free of breast implants, fillers, botox, [extensions], and all the [things] 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."

9. Kristin Davis

Kristin Davis, the ever-poised Charlotte from "Sex and the City," admitted that not all cosmetic enhancements brought confidence — some brought misery and ridicule.

"I have done fillers and it's been good and I've done fillers and it's been bad," she said. "I've had to get them dissolved, and I've been ridiculed relentlessly. And I have shed tears about it. It's very stressful."

10. Kylie Jenner

In 2023, Kylie Jenner — who famously built an empire off her pillowy pout — grew tired of the constant criticism surrounding her lips. "I went on a journey the last year, dissolving half my lip filler," she admitted in June 2024.

But the toll of scrutiny had clearly weighed on her. "I hate even having this conversation over and over and over again because it feels like a waste of my breath because I think, with me, it’s just never gonna change," she said.

As she cried on camera, her sister Kendall stepped in to comfort her. "Why do people think it’s okay to talk about me?" she asked through sobs — a raw moment that revealed the crushing weight of living under a microscope.

11. Amy Schumer

And then there's Amy Schumer, never afraid to turn pain into punchlines — even when it comes to her own face. She wrote, "I tried getting fillers. Turns out I was already full." Her Instagram post was classic Schumer: biting, brutal, and deeply human.

She added, "Thank God you can dissolve them I looked like #malificent [sic]."

Her practitioner chimed in later, explaining that the filler had been placed elsewhere and later removed after both agreed it wasn't working.

Even the queen of comedy wasn't immune to the beauty trap — or its painful aftermath.
