50 Women Shared Their Small Appearance Changes That Made The Biggest Difference For Them

1 Week Post Op And I Was Originally A 38i. They Took Off Over 1000g On Each Side And I Couldn’t Be Happier

For anyone going through hair loss due to cancer, keep on going!

It was the first time I’d seen her genuinely smile in a long time. She kept saying she couldn’t believe she “could still look this beautiful anymore”.

I'm still not sure how I feel about my smile. It's growing on me. I've had the same crooked smile for so long, I feel strange with a straight one. I have a minor lisp from wearing the braces but I'm sure that will clear with time.

The story goes like this: Poor mental health and depression. Manifests as addiction. Food addiction. Gained 80 lbs. Hated my body. Had two kids. Body didn’t change except for more stretch marks and loose skin. Continued to feel bad about myself. Relationship with children’s father ended. Became a full-custody single mom. Health issues started arising after a decade of being obese. I was in my mid-30s at this point. In 2020, a year after the split, the thought, “I can’t die yet! My kids need me!” crossed my brain. After a good chunk of trauma processing, something inside me said “Let’s goooo“. And I lost 74 lbs in 9 months via intermittent fasting and keto. Health issues cleared up, which included Type 2 diabetes. And I also be feeling cute now or whatever.
The demons haven’t left, but I’m more equipped to handle the mfs. Now I’m 40 and it doesn’t feel like it at all. And Redditors DM me now. Which has been a life goal of mine. JK.

Two years ago today, I decided I wasn’t going to let m**h rule my life anymore. I worked to completely change my life and get sober, and I am the happiest mother and wife I can be.

Started putting myself and my health first in 2023 and started practicing yoga and Pilates in June 2024 and absolutely fell in love with it! Completely changed my mental and physical health. Went from overweight and depressed for years to no longer needing medication and down 5 pants sizes. Feeling much more confident and like a brand new person.

I know most of the posts in here are body pics of progress, which I've posted in here, too.... but can we appreciate the face glow ups, too?! I am so used to the way I look at 145 lbs now, I was shocked when I went back and saw some old photos from my heavier weight. Moments like this really help you appreciate how far you've come!

A lot of you have been with me these last 3 years and I love to see how we all have progressed. Today was my day! (Don’t mind a bit of discoloration on my gums. I had extra contouring to make things pretty).

Bottom lip is a little too tight to close fully as surgery was only a few hours ago. Still in a fair amount of pain, but wow I am so happy I did this!

Hello all!! I posted here last month when I crossed five months sober / into my weight loss journey! Just crossed six months (and hit 37!) and while I’ve gradually been noticing the changes in my body, I came across this photo of me from exactly a year ago (where I was still at my starting weight and drinking heavily every day) and put it up against a photo I took two days ago—kind of floor by the changes in my neck, shoulders, and face in general. Idk, am I crazy here? Or maybe I’m just happier and healthier. I think I’m closing in on a goal weight (110), but honestly getting to this weight has been world-changing. I was almost 200lbs at my heaviest and spent more than a decade thinking that 150lbs was all I had in me.

In case anyone is considering it, really consider the effects it may have and ask your doctor many questions before deciding.

One day while browsing instagram I found the page of an esthetician. Her spa sells some brand, so I gave it a shot since I had nothing else to lose.

Upper/Lower blepharoplasty, cheek implants, forehead contouring with scalp advancement, jaw contour, rhino/septoplasty, tracheal shave, lip lift, neck lipo, Morpheus 8 x 3
4 months post hair transplant to temples.

I got my nose done a year ago, in Palo Alto, CA, super duper happy with the front view, I was bothered by the width, and building the bridge (rib graft, ouch!), tip and alarplasty did the trick. But since you can't have it all, I'm finding that the profile is a little too projected, I gave it time in case it was swelling, but seems like this is it. Is it noticeable to other people too? But at the same time I'm not really willing to go through a revision just for that, so I'll count my wins and be happy.
