plumping up
Making more plump
Plumping up is making something fuller or rounder, restoring volume that has been lost.
You plump up pillows by fluffing them, plump up raisins by soaking them in liquid, or plump up your lips with filler.
The phrase often implies returning something to a more appealing state: She plumped up the cushions before the guests arrived.
