Once celebrated for her beauty, Mexican actress Lyn May’s pursuit of youth took a devastating turn in the 1990s. A friend allegedly persuaded her to get cosmetic injections—but instead of professional fillers, she was given a mix of baby oil, cooking oil, and water.
The result was disfiguring: severe swelling, painful abscesses, and permanent damage that even multiple surgeries couldn’t undo. When recent before-and-after photos of her went viral, many were shocked—and some even questioned if they were real. But Lyn’s story is heartbreakingly true.
Beyond the headlines—including claims of an affair with a former president and a pregnancy announcement at 68—Lyn now uses her platform to warn others about the dangers of unregulated beauty treatments.
Her story isn’t just about vanity—it’s about vulnerability. And it’s a reminder to meet these stories with empathy, not judgment.
