Lyn May: How a Beauty Procedure Changed Her Face Forever
For decades, Lyn May was one of Mexico’s biggest entertainment stars. Known for her beauty, dancing, and acting, she became a household name during the 1970s and 1980s. Fans admired her glamorous looks, and she enjoyed a successful career in film, television, and live performances.
A Decision That Changed Everything
In the early 1990s, Lyn May decided to enhance her appearance with facial injections. However, the procedure turned into a nightmare.
According to Lyn May, two women convinced her they could improve her facial features. Instead of using approved cosmetic fillers, they allegedly injected her with a mixture containing cooking oil, baby oil, and water. Soon after the injections, painful lumps began to form under her skin, permanently changing her appearance.

The damage left Lyn May searching for a solution. Over the years, she underwent several surgeries in an attempt to remove the foreign substances and repair her face. While doctors managed to improve some areas, they could not completely reverse the damage.
Her dramatic transformation led many people to believe she had simply undergone excessive plastic surgery. Lyn May has repeatedly said that this was not the case. She maintains that the main cause of her appearance was the botched injections she received from unqualified individuals.
A Lasting Lesson
Despite the physical and emotional challenges, Lyn May continued to work in the entertainment industry. She has openly shared her story to warn others about the dangers of trusting unlicensed cosmetic practitioners or agreeing to unsafe beauty procedures.
Her experience serves as a reminder that cosmetic treatments should only be performed by qualified medical professionals using approved products. What began as a simple attempt to enhance her appearance ultimately changed her life forever.
