Taylor Frankie Paul’s mom is named Liann (often reported as Liann or Leanne May), and she has recently been in the spotlight for a visible cosmetic surgery “before and after” transformation.

Who she is

Liann is the mother of influencer and reality TV personality Taylor Frankie Paul, who appears on the Hulu series The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and became known through “MomTok.” She has appeared on the show herself, often shown helping Taylor with her children and being involved in Taylor’s family storylines.

What changed “before and after”

Liann has publicly shared that she underwent cosmetic surgery including a nose job and eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), resulting in a noticeably different facial appearance compared with older photos and earlier TV footage. The change is especially apparent in more recent social media and season 2 episodes filmed after her procedures, where her nose and eye area look more refined and “lifted” compared with her pre-surgery look.

How she and Taylor addressed it

On The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season 2, Taylor talks about her mom wanting a nose job and ending up getting more extensive work, and she expresses support for her mom’s decision even while joking about the intense post-surgery swelling. Liann has responded to online criticism by clarifying that she chose the surgery for herself, paid for it herself, and emphasized that she is not trying to look like her daughter but that her daughter resembles her because of genetics.

If you are looking for specific visual comparisons, the clearest “before and after” views are on Liann’s Instagram grid posts and in season 1 vs. season 2 footage of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives , where fans have contrasted her pre- and post-surgery appearances.
