To gear up for the new season ofThe Real Housewives of Orange County, Emily Simpson got camera-ready with a trip to the esthetician. But rather than doing a little filler fuel-up, she decided to get hers dissolved instead.
“I haven’t had any fillers done for at least a year or more,” Simpson tells PEOPLE exclusively. “I believe the filler had migrated on my face and there was too much right underneath my eyes. It gave me what I call ‘The Cabbage Patch Kid’ look which made me lose my eyes. The area directly under my eyes was too puffy.”
Simpson, who says she started getting fillers about eight years ago, knew it was time to do something when saw the effects of the build-up in pictures.

“I recently started noticing that I didn’t like how I looked in photos and it was hard to see my eyes when I smiled,” she said. “I knew there was a build-up of too much filler in the wrong places.”
In herInstagram post, Armstrong explained that sometimes filler needs to be added back “to the right place” afterwards, which is what she did with Simpson.
“As I get older, I get very dark circles under my eyes and I do need a little amount of filler to combat that,” Simpson shares. “However, the key is getting a subtle amount and in the right places!”
This isn’t the first time Simpson has shared changes to her appearance on social media. Last year, Simpson got candid abouttwo big transformationswith before-and-after photos proudly showcasing her figureafter losing weightandhaving her breast implants removed. Simpson told her followers that she gained back her confidence in the process.
“I never wanted to show these photos publicly because I’m ashamed of where I let myself get, but here I am showing my transformation because I want to be transparent with you all,” the reality starwrotein November. “I worked my butt off to get here and Im so proud of how far Ive come and continue to go!”
