Franken-facelift: On December 20th of 2009, a Los Angeles woman underwent a $20,000 experimental beauty treatment at a clinic in Beverly Hills. Surgical "Beauticians" took stem-cells harvested from her belly fat and mixed them with dermal filler that is usually used to fill in wrinkles. They then injected that with the intention that the stem-cells would rejuvenate youthful cells around her eyes... unfortunately, the filler was made up of calcium hydroxylaptite, which triggers stem-cells to become bone. Within days of the treatment, the woman began feeling sharp pains in her eyes. The stem-cells were busy at work creating bone shards inside, and around, her eyes. It was a high price to pay for a boneheaded beauty to learn that true beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder. Buyer beware. #babettebombshell #madscience #quackscience #pseudoscience #criticalthinking #rationalthought #rationality #fortean #xfiles
