At 17, Alina Reyes survived a house fire that left 60% of her face burned. Doctors said she’d never look the same again—and she didn’t.

She looks better.

Now 24, Alina has gone viral for her striking presence and catwalk confidence. She’s not hiding her scars—she’s owning them.

“I thought my life was over,” she admits. “But this? This is the life I never imagined.”

After 15 surgeries and years of therapy, Alina’s skin is still healing, but her soul is glowing. She was discovered by a photographer at a burn survivors event and booked her first runway show weeks later.

The audience cried. So did she.

“Real beauty isn’t flawless skin,” she says. “It’s surviving what was meant to destroy you—and walking straight through it with your head high.”

Her modeling photos, with visible skin grafts and burn patterns, have become symbols of resilience. She’s now the face of a skincare campaign with the message: “Your scars are part of your story.”
