Urfi Javed gets lip filler dissolved: Dermatologist tells you how to avoid a bad lip job, dos and don'ts
She captioned the reel saying, 'No this is not a filter, I decided to get my fillers dissolved as they were very misplaced. I will get them again but naturally. I'm not saying no to fillers at all. Dissolving is painful. Also it's very very important you go to a good doctor for fillers, all these doctors with fancy clinics know nothing.'
'The swollen lip video is only half the story of a job that had gone bad and reinforces myths of pain and bruising rather than facts. But lip fillers are safe when done by a skilled dermatologist. They know exactly how much of the filler to put and can do so in a relatively painless manner. Even filler extraction is not as painful as shown in the video. This delicate procedure should be done by a board certified dermatologist in a clinical setting,' says Dr Rashmi Sharma, clinical dermatologist at Fortis, Vasant Kunj, Delhi.
So what are lip fillers?
Lip fillers are injectable molecules of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body, which can absorb water. This helps plump up the lips and give them volume, shape and definition.
How are lip fillers dissolved?
A dissolving lip filler is a safe and effective option. We use an enzyme substance called hyaluronidase, which breaks down the hyaluronic acid present in the lip filler. This can be painful for sensitive areas like the lip. However, it can be minimised by the injection technique and skill of the doctor.
Should you follow a protocol before dissolving your lip filler?
Do it a week prior to any major event that you may want to attend. Disclose your complete medical history, infection, autoimmune diseases and herpes. Stay hydrated. If you are on blood thinners, stop them three days before.
You may have to avoid medications or supplements that may increase bleeding and interfere with your healing, like aspirin. Stop smoking too. Your dermatologist will check if you are allergic to the hyaluronidase injections through a patch test and even keep a crash cart ready should there be an allergic reaction.
There is some pain on the site after the procedure, so an ice pack or a numbing cream is applied. Do watch out for complications like extreme redness, pallor or whitening of the area, severe pain, cold sensation, any bleeding. Your dermatologist can address that immediately.
Once the procedure is done, you cannot go in for facials or peels for a week. Do not massage the treated area, don't touch it either. Stay away from vigorous exercise, steam and sauna for three days.
Do all lip fillers dissolve?
Hyaluronic-based fillers are the most common type of filler and can dissolve easily. However, if your filler contains silicone or other substances, you can't dissolve it.
How does the filler go out of the body?
Once dissolved, it is excreted through your liver and kidneys.
How much time does dissolution take?
The entire treatment to dissolve your lip filler may take between 10 and 15 minutes in a session. Swelling, bruising, tenderness are common and go away in a few days. You may be recommended some medication for them. Your lips will eventually decrease in volume and return to their appearance as they were before your filler.
What should you know before going in for fillers?
Go for authentic topline quality brands. Safety is worth the cost.

Uorfi Javed lip filler saga: Doctor warns of grave risk; says one wrong shot can cause blindness, kill skin cells
Actor and influencer Uorfi Javed recently revealed on Instagram that she had her lip fillers dissolved after finding them 'very misplaced.' In a short video, she documented the process and called out cosmetic procedures done by doctors without proper expertise. Her caption also noted how painful the process was and stressed the need to consult experienced professionals for cosmetic treatments. Lip fillers usually contain hyaluronic acid, a water-absorbing substance naturally found in the body. These injections are used to give shape, structure, and fullness to the lips. But what happens when things go wrong? What is lip filler dissolution and how is it done? When fillers are misplaced or the results are unsatisfactory, dermatologists can use an enzyme called hyaluronidase to dissolve them. This breaks down the hyaluronic acid in the filler and allows the body to excrete it naturally through the liver and kidneys. The treatment usually takes about 10–15 minutes, and although there might be swelling, tenderness, or bruising, these symptoms typically fade in a few days. In some cases, multiple sessions may be required if complications are present. Ice packs or numbing creams can help reduce discomfort after the procedure. What can go wrong and why should you be cautious? Speaking on the matter, Dr Pankaj Chaturvedi, director and chief dermatologist, MedLinks group of clinics from Delhi told Indiatimes, 'Fillers should only be done by qualified dermatologists or plastic surgeons. Many people get them done at spas or unlicensed clinics for cheap, and that's risky.' One of the most serious complications is vascular occlusion, where filler enters an artery and blocks blood flow to the skin, possibly causing permanent skin damage or, in rare cases, vision loss if it travels toward the eye. Other concerns include swelling after extraction and the need for accurate injection technique. An expert must know the anatomy and blood supply of the treated area to perform the procedure safely. New fashion ft. Urfi Javed 😳😳 Dos and Don'ts before and after filler or dissolution Schedule it at least a week before any major event. Share your complete medical history, including any history of herpes or autoimmune disorders. Stay hydrated. Stop blood thinners like aspirin at least 3 days prior.

Skip intense workouts, smoking, sauna, or steam for at least 48 hours. Avoid kissing for 24 hours. Stop smoking for 48 hours after the fillers Use painkillers or Arnica ointment if needed for bruising.

'Kaju Katli & One Tight Hug': Shubhanshu Shukla's Parents Await His Return To India On August 17
'All I need is just one tight hug…" – These heartfelt words from Shambhu Dayal Shukla, father of astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla, seem enough to describe the emotion building quietly inside a modest home in Lucknow. After spending 18 days aboard the International Space Station (ISS) and nearly 35 days in post-mission rehabilitation in the US, Shubhanshu is expected to return to India on August 17. 'He's still in America… It's been a year since I hugged him," his father told News18, his voice filled with anticipation. Shubhanshu, who was part of the international Axiom Mission 4, launched on June 25 and docked with the ISS the next day. His return capsule splashed down safely off the California coast on July 15. But the return to Earth is not the same as a return to life. He is still re-learning to walk, move, and function as his body adapts back to Earth's gravity. 'He's learning to walk again' 'Walking is still a struggle," said his father. 'Every day, he practices for three to four hours. He has to walk slowly, and he gets dizzy if he overdoes it. Doctors say it will take 8 to 10 more days before he's fully recovered," his father said. Extended exposure to microgravity can weaken bones and muscles, disrupt balance, and alter cardiovascular function. Shubhanshu has been undergoing daily physiotherapy under medical supervision. In a recent social media post too, he wrote: 'Learning to walk again…" 'Just as your body changes when you go into space, it changes again when you come back. Even walking straight becomes difficult. Balance weakens. These effects cause mental stress too — but they're all temporary. The body slowly finds its rhythm again," he wrote. A mother waits with food — and emotion For his mother Asha Shukla, the countdown isn't to a landing capsule, but to the moment her son walks through the front door. 'He always says on video calls, 'I'm fine, don't worry,' but I can see the tiredness in his eyes. A mother knows," she said. To keep herself busy — and hopeful — she has taken refuge in her kitchen. 'I've already started planning what to cook for him. His favourite dishes — dal baati, kadhai paneer, matar pulao, kaju katli — I'm making everything. When he comes home, he shouldn't have to ask for anything," she said, with her eyes moist. 'Just watching him eat happily… that's the moment I'm living for," she said. A reunion that felt like home After landing, Shubhanshu briefly reunited with his wife Kamna and six-year-old son Kiaash in the US. Hugging Kamna and lifting Kiaash into his arms, he posted on Instagram: 'Space is magical. But reuniting with loved ones — that's equally magical. When I hugged my family, it felt like I was truly home again." He urged others to cherish their own bonds: 'Find someone you love today and tell them. We often get too busy with life and forget how important our people are. Space missions are magical — but it's people who make them magical." Yoga in space — a metaphor for balance A few days ago, Shubhanshu shared a video of himself performing yoga aboard the ISS. 'In the beginning, it was hard to stay still in microgravity. I just wanted to be centered, but even the tiniest movement would send me drifting," he wrote. Drawing parallels with daily life, he said, 'Staying still in space is an art — just like finding peace in a fast-paced world. Sometimes, to run fast, you must first slow down." Homecoming: Lucknow or Bengaluru? Shubhanshu will land in India on August 17, though it's not confirmed if he will directly come to Lucknow or stop first in Bengaluru, home to key Indian space institutions. 'If he doesn't come to Lucknow, we'll go to him," said his father. 'But I hope he walks through our front gate. Just one tight hug — that's all I need," he added. The city waits for its hero But it's not just the Shukla family counting down the days. Shubhanshu's entire locality in Lucknow — neighbours, childhood friends, schoolteachers — is buzzing with excitement. Streets where he once cycled to school are now draped in tricolour buntings. Children carry tiny flags, and families discuss plans to welcome 'their astronaut" with flowers, garlands, and dhols. Many residents in the area still remember the humble, soft-spoken boy who once dreamed of space. 'He's not just their son any more — he's all of ours," said a local shopkeeper, adding, 'We've never had anyone from here go that far, and now he's coming back." Even the city administration is considering a formal civic welcome, should he arrive in Lucknow. top videos View all From the narrow lanes of his childhood to the vast silence of space, Shubhanshu Shukla's journey has come full circle. And as the countdown to August 17 continues, not just a family — but an entire city — waits to embrace their son, their astronaut, their pride.
