when someone (usually a teen/young adult) is unsatisfied with their physical appearance and stays in their room for months working out/perfecting their appearance as to be comfortable with themselves in the public eye; only to emerge as someone who is completely different and (usually) more attractive and likeable. sometimes refered to as "the butterfly effect."
