What is pillow face and how can we avoid it?
A new cosmetic trend and health issue seems to crop up every other day on our TikTok feed, but pillow face seems to be the big topic of conversation at the moment.
But what on earth is it?
We can all agree that getting filler has become increasingly common in the last couple of years. It’s now a go-to for most of Hollywood’s elite but what kind of impact is regular filler going to have on our faces as we age?

Pillow face is actually known as facial overfilled syndrome (FOS) and it occurs when you’ve injected your face with too much filler. The overuse of filler causes your face to look puffy and swollen.
Pillow face causes you to lose your face’s natural contour and leaves it looking like a puffy pillow, hence the name.
How to avoid it
If you get filler and are worried about developing pillow face then don’t worry, you can avoid it.
Experts have stressed that limiting how much filler you get injected into your face is key. So many celebrities have developed this issue because they don’t know when to stop treatments. The obsession with looking young means they’ve now gotten too much filler and it has made their faces look shapeless.
Dr. Sam Rizk told Betches: “Less is always more. Start with some and gradually build up to the desired effect, rather than get a lot of fillers all at once.”
There’s nothing wrong with getting filler but make sure you’re going to a qualified professional if you’re considering cosmetic work.
