uninflated

Not yet blown

Uninflated describes something that has not been filled with air or gas: an uninflated balloon, an uninflated tire.

Figuratively, it means not artificially increased or exaggerated: uninflated prices, uninflated expectations.

The word often carries a sense of something in its natural or honest state, not puffed up beyond what's warranted.
