      Greetings from the future, I do believe I have found a solution.

      Steps made simple:

      • Make a puckered circle (without fill or with fill, I don't know your needs)
      • Make a square (with fill) and put it on top of the puckered circle 
      • Select the square and circle and make it a clipping mask
      • Click on new puckered circle
      • Go to Object and select "Expand Appearance" and then select "Expand" (you have to expand it just like this or it won't work)
      • Drag puckered circle to Export for Assets (or however you wish to export it) as an SVG
      • Export and enjoy life once again

      This is something that has been a problem for me for quite some time, I hope this helped!

      It is still a problem.

      The problem has been merged with a totally unrelated problem on user voice

      'Expanded pucker/bloat effect is a circle or ellipse in SVG' has been merged into this idea:

        I'm seeing the same thing; an expanded pucker or bloat effect is an ellipse in the SVG code still for some reason.

        ohmnath​ , can you shed any light on this for us?

        Hi Doug,

        Thanks for flagging this out. It's happening with no Stroke and only Fill applied objects with "Pucker & Bloat" effect applied. I've also checked and found that it's working fine till CC 2017, it started happening in CC 2018 & 2019. I've reported it as a bug and the team will be working on it.

        I'd also request that if you can take out a moment and report it here: Adobe Illustrator Feedback.​ Also, do share the UserVoice link so that others can upvote the issue.

        Regards,

        Om
