Ever wondered what hypothyroidism really looks like on the outside, and how much it can improve with the right treatment?
These historic photos tell a powerful story. They show the profound changes in appearance that occur when hypothyroidism is properly treated, something many people never get to see.
Let’s take a closer look at these before-and-after images, so you can learn to spot the classic signs of hypothyroidism, and more importantly, what recovery may look like.
Common Signs of Hypothyroidism in These Photos
In the before images, you’ll notice classic hypothyroid features:
- Puffy face and eyes
- Swollen neck area
- Dull complexion
- Hooded eyelids
- Thinning, dry, and brittle hair
- Under-eye bags
- Dull, unfocused eyes (often described as “brain fog”)
- Thinning outer eyebrows
These visual signs reflect what’s happening beneath the surface: a slowed-down metabolism, poor circulation, and fluid retention from an underactive thyroid.
