plumped up

Puffed with air

Plumped up describes something made fuller, rounder, or more swollen—typically by shaking, fluffing, or inflating: She plumped up the pillows before the guests arrived.

The phrase applies to cushions, lips enhanced with filler, or anything restored to a fuller state.

Figuratively, numbers or figures can be plumped up to make them appear more impressive.
