On the face of it 60, although in fact only 16

talking about this girl when she was 13 years old.However, in its 13 Zara looked at least 30 years old, and by age 16 she was already like a 60-year-old lady.The reason for that - lipodystrophy, a rare genetic disease that is destroying the subcutaneous fat, the skin of her face does not supple and makes her look much older.

Zara Hartshorn (Zara Hartshorn) originally from the British city of Rotherham, Yorkshire (Rotherham, south Yorkshire).About how much she had to endure because of illness, it inherited from the mother, she knows only Zara.Brutal contemporaries never tired to pester her with derision or even outright bullying, and even adults sometimes do not refrained from comments that a girl did a really miserable.So, when you exit the bus it is never complete without the driver did not doubt her age and started to laugh.

In 12 years, poor Zara looked like a middle-aged woman, and her mother was often mistaken for her sister Chloe (Chloe), which is actually five years older than the Zara.By age 16, she began to look like an old lady, and every year the life of a teenager turns into a growing hell.No wonder that Zara was not eager to go to school or even appear in public.The worst was for girls aged 5 to 10 years - teased her 'monkey' and 'grandmother', and even the poor Zara was frequently beaten only because of how it looks.And the worst question in life for girls was innocent 'How old are you?'.

About that, in what would become the future life of the girls do not want to think, but fortunately she came to the aid of doctors, plastic surgeons.It turned out that in order to have ended the suffering of a child, the usual procedure is quite enough - facelift.This, however, does not eliminate the problem of the disease per se, but, alas, of the disease, which affects Zara, no drugs.

Saving Zara Hartshorn took American plastic surgeons, and she had a surgery for free.When Zara, which has agreed to the operation without hesitation, first saw his 'new' face after she was removed from the bandage, she just could not believe my eyes - the mirror was not looking at her old, but the young girl.Zara did not recognize herself.

Later, she told reporters: "When the bandages removed and I looked in the mirror, I felt a mixture of surprise and happiness ... Now I can think about is to go to college to make a career of what was once useless to dream."

So, along with the new face of Zara there are new features and a whole new life.Today, she has even a boyfriend - 22-year-old Ricky (Ricky).He does not forget to remind her that she is every day becoming beautiful it.By the way, Ricky says Zara, she was beautiful before - he was not afraid of her old photos.However, about to get married and have children, Zara thinks with caution, because it can easily pass the disease inherited by her children, and wish this Zara, which has gone through hell in childhood, can not nobody.

Whatever it was, today, Zara Hartshorn many plans.As a child, she dreamed of becoming a doctor cosmetologist to help people look more beautiful.And she dreams of one day open her own beauty salon.Past ridicule and bullying fortunately left behind.About Dare Zara Hartshorn start a family and have children, she does not know herself.Today she just hopes that in the near future from her illness there is a cure.
