Cosmetic, Plastic Surgery or Facelift Gives Maximum of 3 Years Younger Look

August 3, 2013 By Janet Vasquez

In a recent study conducted by Canadian Doctors, researchers it was found that Botox or cosmetic surgery or facelift claims of looking 10 years younger are pathetic.

In a study conducted at University of Toronto School of Medicine by Dr. Joshua Zimm and his fellow workers it was concluded that cosmetic surgeries on an average gives 3 years younger look.

Facial cosmetic surgery

Dr Joshua Zimm Said, they have studied nearly 50 patients who underwent cosmetic surgeries to look younger and took photographs of the patients for before and after comparison. Later on the photos which were taken were presented in front of experts and researchers who were not familiar with the patient’s medical history.

The raters or subjects were asked to rate the photographs on a scale of 1 to 10 based on the attractiveness. Surprisingly, the average age of the patients who were in the photographs predicted by raters was just 3 years younger to the patient’s original age.

The study was already published in the Journal of the American Medical Association Facial Plastic Surgery. This came as a bolt for those marketers and liposuction Doctors who claim Botox or cosmetic surgeries or liposuction gives them much younger look.

The study conducted was on the patients who were between the ages of 42 to 73. So this can be considered that it is not worth for the patients who are 73 and would like to go under the knife just for the sake of looking 70 years old.

    This seems like an excessively ignorant report on a medical study. A reviewer should at least read the abstract! It says, under Results: “The mean overall years saved following aesthetic facial surgery was 3.1 years (range, −4.0 to 9.4 years).” In other words, the statement above that the “maximum” decrease in apparent age is 3 years is totally false; that was the average. And the claim that the patient photographs were blindfolded is utterly silly. Actually, the reviewers were “blind” to the treatment. That is, they didn’t know that the pictures represented people before and after they had cosmetic surgery.

    Really bad article, comes to incorrect conclusions, based one one flawed study. Get better, please. Click bait only works once. “Came as a bolt”? Wow, seriously bad piece.

    It’s understandable why people are commenting against this story. Probably they are not capable of listening to anything negative or against cosmetic surgeries which is of course is a risky procedure. Many celebrities has also suffered because of such surgeries. The other commenters seems afraid of loss to the cosmetic surgery industry.

      When you can’t comment on evidence, attack the reviewer, eh?

        It seems like most of these comments are pointing out that the author’s interpretation of the evidence is incorrect. I checked the comments on a few other, better-written articles about this study, and none of them have included any attacks on the author.

      I don’t care about cosmetic surgery one way or another. This article offends me as a journalist.

      I can tell you for a fact that the extreme negative comments in this section were written by professional PR people working for the industry. I’ve seen these exact types of comments before. It could be one person or an agency. They make virulent statements that attack the integrity of the writer to cover up any facts presented.

        I call BS on you. I can tell you for a fact that you’re a friend of the author of this shoddily researched and written article.

    Yeah, but if you buy a new car for the same money, it’s going to look 3 year OLDER in 3 years. So, now what’s the point of your article?

    It all depends on what one’s face was like before surgery.

    I wish I could block certain websites from showing up in google or google news. This would be one of them.

      Great, I have figured out how to block such crap from my google news. https://support.google.com/news/answer/1005661?hl=en . No more dealing with journalistic crap from nitwits who cant distinguish average and maximum.

      It matters because it partially explains why this author’s description of the study contains egregious errors. The LA Times article does not contain those errors.
