According to her account, in the early 1990s she went to get what she believed was collagen injected into her cheekbones to enhance her features. Instead, she says the doctor injected her with cooking oil and baby oil.
#### What happened
At the time, Lyn May was at the peak of her career as a dancer, actress, and cabaret star in Mexico. Like many public figures, she wanted subtle enhancements to maintain her look on stage and screen.
But the injections were not medical-grade. Over the years, the oil migrated, hardened, and caused severe inflammation, scarring, and deformities. What was meant to be a beauty boost led to decades of pain, corrective surgeries, and health complications.
#### The impact
Photos show the dramatic change from her early career in the 70s and 80s — when she was known for her dancing, fitness, and glamour — to her appearance today. Lyn May has been open about the emotional toll, saying she didn’t understand what was happening to her body at the time.
Her story has resurfaced on social media as a cautionary tale about unlicensed cosmetic procedures and black-market beauty treatments.
#### Why it matters
Experts warn that injecting non-medical substances like industrial oils into the body can cause:
1. Chronic inflammation and granulomas
2. Tissue damage and disfigurement
3. Risk of infection and the need for multiple reconstructive surgeries
Lyn May continues to work in entertainment and has spoken publicly to warn others: always verify who is doing the procedure, and what is being injected.
Bottom line: Her experience highlights the dangers of chasing beauty through unsafe, unregulated treatments — and the lifelong consequences that can follow.
