PHOTO: Valerie Letourneau's eye is no longer terrifyingly swollen

Valerie Letourneau no longer looks like she has an alien trying to burst out of her face.

Following a loss to strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk at UFC 193, Letourneau - sporting a massive welt under her eye - had been transformed into a purplish-red Quasimodo-type figure.

Days after her gutsy, but ultimately losing performance against "Joanna Champion," Letourneau posted the following photo on Instagram to show fans she's no longer housing a baby Xenomorph inside her face:

Tk you for all your messages! I never had so much positive responses coming from a defeat and I am really touched by your support and encouragement. This is me this morning, #NOMAKEUP #NOFILTER , I am healing well, I already miss the gym and I promess to come back stronger! I am ok :)! ----------------- Merci pour tout vos messages, je n'ai jamais reçu autant de message positif venant d'une défaite et je suis vraiment touché par votre support et vos encouragements! C'est moi ce matin sans maquillage sans filtre, je guérit bien, le gym me manque déjà et je promet de revenir en force! #UFC193 #UFC #ATTFamily #thankful
