A girl aged 15 named Xiao Feng, who suffers from a rare genetic condition causing her face look older than her real age had given a chance to change her face by doing a plastic surgery.
The teen was so upset by her illness that she didn’t want to go to school where she was bullied for it. Her transformation has been revealed to the public after Good Samaritans raised over £20,000 to cover her medical bills. Surgeons from Shenyang Sunline Plastic Surgery Hospital said she suffered from progeria, which causes someone to age prematurely and it was only affected on her skin, not her organs. During a seven and a half hour surgery on December 29, doctors removed excess skin and reshaped her nose, mouth and eyebrows.
Dr Shi Lingzhi told that the hospital cancelled the total £56,000 that the surgery cost so she would be able to use the money for her education and recovery. Xiao Feng wrote to philanthropist Guo Mingyi seeking help, writing: ‘I am 15 years old, but I have a face of a 60-year-old. How I long to look like a high school student.’ He contacted the surgery who immediately agreed to give her a discount on the surgery. He then organised a charity drive to raise the cash needed, including a marathon.
