Nigerian lady, Alex Sandra, made headlines after her participation in the Guinness World Record 72-hour smile-a-thon. Sharing her experience on Instagram, she revealed that her doctor diagnosed her with “long chin syndrome” and “chin ptosis” after the grueling attempt.
In a video posted on her Instagram page, Sandra mentioned that she plans to undergo minor surgery to correct the condition, as the strain of maintaining a prolonged smile during the record attempt seemed to have caused the damage.
Sandra successfully completed her challenge a few days ago, lasting from July 16 to July 19, 2023, aiming to break the Guinness World Record for the longest smile.
However, despite her accomplishment, the international record body has not officially acknowledged or endorsed her achievement.
Currently, the record for the longest time smiling is held by Brazilian lady, Mariana Costa, who managed to smile for two hours, two minutes, and 4.00 seconds.
The record body issued a PSA urging Nigerians to exercise caution in attempting record-breaking feats, as they have been overwhelmed with numerous applications.
