Plastic Surgery Makes You Look 7 Years Younger, On Average
A recent study conducted by the University of Toronto gathered medical students and asked them to assess 60 volunteers between the ages of 45-72, and were asked to approximate their ages based on the patient’s pictures before and after the surgery was performed. The research entitled “Perceived Age Change after Aesthetic Facial Surgical Procedures” concluded that patients looked an average of 7.2 years younger after cosmetic or plastic surgery. The lead author of the study, Dr. Nitin Chauhan, said that this study could be used by plastic surgeons all over the world to educate patients about the kind of results that they could possibly see after the procedure has been performed.
Melissa’s Law – Sending a message
Melissa Dohme was a 20-year-old college student and neonatal nursing assistant with her entire future ahead of her. But, that changed drastically on January 24, 2012 – when her ex-boyfriend bothered her incessantly, until she finally met him (to make him stop calling and texting all night long). Robert Lee Burton, Jr, 21, convinced her that he just wanted a hug. When she started to give him a hug, Burton launched into a murderous attack with his fists and two different knives that left Melissa with 32 stab wounds, a cracked skull, missing / loose teeth and in need of 12 pints of blood. A young couple, who bravely intervened against the 265 lb Burton, saved her life. Melissa, at her young age, should not have had to endure attempted murder. Nor should any of the women who are disfigured, daily, all over the world. Read about Melissa, Melissa’s Law and / or pledge to help victims of savage, disfiguring attacks, here. We are here for Melissa, and those who have shared similar fates…Together, we can send a message!
