What happened to Haley's face?
Through the 11 seasons of the show, fans witnessed how much the actress' appearance has changed. Viewers were particularly concerned about her drastic weight loss, as well as her swollen face. Hyland later revealed that it was due to a chronic illness that led to two kidney transplants.
Because I know that my face is swollen from medication that is saving my life,” she said, in reference to being on prednisone, a corticosteroid used to suppress the immune system and reduce inflammation and swelling, according to the National Institutes of Health.
After sharing her inspiring selfie last week, Hyland told fans that she was back at home from the hospital and “feelin great.” She also revealed that IV antibiotics had saved her life, and that she had remedied her swollen face with a facial from celebrity skin expert, Nurse Jamie.
Hyland said she's "basically been on bed rest" for the past few months and has lost muscle mass. She has been on the medication prednisone, which Hyland says has caused swelling in her face. Hyland assures her fans she'll be okay because she's "strong" and will not let negative comments hurt her confidence.

Why does Alex look different in Modern Family?
She grew up and changed a lot in the span of 11 seasons, and not just physically. Ariel Winter was just a child when she signed on to play Alex Dunphy in Modern Family and (literally) grew up in front of the camera, just like her character.
But, speaking with Refinery29 (opens in new tab), the star revealed that she actually wore long extensions while filming for Modern Family, in order to hide the fact that she was dramatically losing her own natural hair as a result of medication.
