One Woman’s Facial Transformation After Birth Leaves the Internet in Tears.

Around the World

The news as it trends.

For many women, the joy of motherhood is undeniable—bringing life into the world is often a deeply cherished dream.

But alongside that joy comes the harsh reality of body transformation.

Some recover in time; others face lasting changes that can feel isolating.

Such is the case for Twitter user @ayyitslala, a new mom named Lala, who bravely shared her raw and emotional postpartum journey.

Her before-and-after photos revealed a dramatic facial transformation during pregnancy, triggered by hormonal changes and severe skin flare-ups.

The contrast was striking—leaving many online in tears.

Though she avoided morning sickness, Lala’s skin took a painful hit.

Comments blaming her makeup and skincare routine only added to her distress.

Her healing began with gentle cleansing, laser therapy at Euphie Clinic, and immense patience.

While caring for her newborn son Khaseh, who is also recovering from jaundice, she put her full treatment on hold to focus entirely on motherhood.

Her story is a powerful reminder: For many women, the journey of motherhood is filled with joy.

But alongside the sweetness of welcoming a baby often comes an unexpected transformation—physically and emotionally.

In some cases, the body gradually returns to its original state; in others, lasting changes shape a new version of self.

It’s a question many have quietly asked: Will I ever look like me again?

Older mothers on social media have echoed this sentiment, reassuring new moms that transformation isn’t a weakness—it’s proof of strength, resilience, and love.
