Why fillers are not “bad,” why HA fillers are reversible, and why the anti-filler narrative is misleading
I keep seeing the same talking point repeated over and over:“Fillers are bad because they migrate and ruin your face.” or something like that
This is not accurate and used by your favorite creators to gate keep the only affordable hardmaxx that you can actually have money to get before the age of 30.
1. “Fillers” are not one single thing
One of the biggest problems with looksmaxxing discourse is that all fillers get lumped together as if they’re identical. They are not.There are:
- Temporary fillers
- Semi-permanent fillers
- Permanent fillers
- Different gel densities
- Different molecular cross-linking
- Different intended tissue planes
Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are a specific category — and they behave very differently from older or permanent fillers.
2. HA fillers are reversible (this is not optional or debatable)
HA fillers can be dissolved with hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid.This means:
- If placement is wrong → it can be undone
- If volume is too much → it can be undone
- If someone changes their mind → it can be undone
People online often confuse:
- Tissue stretch
- Fibrosis
- Natural aging
3. The migration claim is wildly exaggerated
Yes, fillers can shift slightly in some cases. That is not the same as filler “traveling around your face uncontrollably.”Most so-called “migration” comes from:
- Overfilling
- Wrong injection plane
- Poor injector technique
- Using the wrong filler thickness for the area
- Conservatively dosed
- Placed in the correct anatomical plane
- Used for structural support instead of inflation
Detection on imaging ≠ visible harm.
4. Studies are constantly misrepresented
Many people cite studies they haven’t actually read.Common issues:
- Small sample sizes
- No baseline imaging
- No injection technique data
- No distinction between filler types
- No assessment of aesthetic outcome
- It looks bad
- It’s dangerous
- It can’t be dissolved
5. HA fillers are not permanent changes
Another lie that gets repeated is that fillers “permanently alter your face.”Reality:
- HA fillers naturally break down over time
- Dissolving exists
- They do not fuse with bone
- They do not permanently replace tissue
- Jaw
- Chin
- Cheek support
- Facial balancing
6. Looksmaxxing creators leave out critical context
They usually:
- Show worst-case outcomes only
- Ignore injector skill completely
- Pretend all fillers are permanent
- Never mention reversibility
- Never explain different filler types
- Push surgery as the only “real” solution
7. Fillers are the only realistic and affordable looksmaxx for most people
Let’s be honest.Not everyone can:
- Afford surgery
- Take months off for recovery
- Accept permanent skeletal changes
- Risk irreversible outcomes
- Gradual improvement
- Customization
- Reversibility
- Lower cost
- Lower commitment
- Predictable outcomes when done correctly
Calling them “bad” across the board ignores basic risk–benefit logic.
8. A balanced take (not cope, not fear)
The correct position is not:- “Fillers are perfect”
or - “Fillers ruin everyone”
HA fillers are medical tools.
When used correctly, conservatively, and strategically, they are effective, reversible, and widely used for a reason.
Final thought
If fillers were truly uncontrollable, irreversible, and face-destroying, they would not:- Be used worldwide
- Be first-line aesthetic treatments
- Be preferred over permanent fillers
- Have a built-in reversal mechanism
If people want to argue against fillers, they should at least argue against the correct type, mechanism, and context.
Btw it is obvious that Zeta and K Shami have had filler and they are gatekeeping it. I'm pretty sure that Zeta has admitted it once in a podcast.
