Three years sounds like nothing. That’s roughly the time it takes to finish a degree, get really into and then completely over a TV show, or watch a houseplant slowly fade despite your best efforts. On paper, it's not that long. In practice, it turns out three years is plenty of time for your entire life to become completely unrecognizable.

One user recently posted her jaw-dropping transformation over three years, and the thread kicked off. People from all over started showing their own wild before and after images, and the internet is speechless, for once.

    I had horrible acne, the kind that leaves deep scars on your face even if you diligently do not scratch/pick. My mom put me on Accutane (without caring about the side effects) and while it did clear up my acne completely and in such a dramatic fashion that it felt nearly miraculous, it does have some brutal side effects. For me, I was one of the low percentage of people who ended up with permanent side effects. They're not really that bad overall (persistent dry lips and skin) but people should definitely be aware that some side effects CAN rarely be permanent when taking it. Not saying this person took Accutane, but I had similar results to him when I was taking it.

    Well, I know that these people changed their looks/weight/etc. for themselves, and I do hope they are all happier now, but I for one think this person is beautiful in the left pic.

    Yeah, you lost the *never ever, EVER looks good on white people hairdo* and (hopefully..maybe they're just covered...but hopefully no longer...) blown-out earlobes. Went from cultural appropriation and cringe to...well, if that's you posing with tarot cards, that's still pretty cringe ...

    Did she specifically try to look like Angelina Jolie? If so, she succeeded. Why try to look like someone else though? The best way to look is like yourself 💙
