It's not plastic http://www.itsnotplastic.com Arte, Moda, Architettura e Design raccontati dal chirurgo plastico Tue, 15 Jul 2014 09:39:46 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 Art tattoo http://www.itsnotplastic.com/tatuaggi-ad-arte/?lang=en http://www.itsnotplastic.com/tatuaggi-ad-arte/?lang=en#comments Wed, 04 Jun 2014 07:41:12 +0000 admin http://www.itsnotplastic.com/?p=958 Wrinkles, scars, even tattoos are all stories written on our skin … If you like tattoos you cannot miss this project by Chennye Randall.

He has created an ongoing project on his Tumblr page titled “shopped tattoos” where he photoshops tattoos onto iconic images of celebrities past and present. Randall has photoshopped images of Prince William and Kate Middleton, President John F. Kennedy and Jackie Kennedy, Audrey Hepburn, Leonard Nimoy, Albert Einstein, just to name a few. Most images show the celebrities covered in tattoos, with some including a change in hair color or outfits. “All of these images were created as a form of curiosity. What some of the worlds most recognizable and admired icons would look like perhaps living in a parallel universe. This has never been about ‘What would celebrities look like with tattoos’ although it is clearly centered around tattoos because I personally love Tradition tattooing” says Randall.

We are fans of tattoos although we advise you to think carefully about what you want to get tattoed on your skin since tattoos are really difficult to remove. Every tattoo is unique, and while not all tattoos can disappear completely, the vast majority can. Factors that will determine the amount of treatments needed are color, skin type, location, the amount of ink, scarring or tissue change, layering, and the age of the tattoo. So take care, get the best tattoos done by experienced professionals but above all think very well before being tattooed!

Skin is absolutely private: the eye can found a secret scar, a strange mole, a wonderful curve, or a part of the body that it doesn’t like.

Skin is the ‘box’ of our body. Skin types include normal, oily, dry, and sensitive. Some people also have a combination of skin types in different areas of their skin.
Your skin type can change over time. For example, younger people are more likely than older people to have a normal skin type. What’s your skin type?

Playful and ironic, like every creation of the Milanese designer, this product is inspired by the fairy tale of Snow White.
Mirrors are a costant presence in people’s everyday lives; during our childhood they let us become aware of ourselves, they reveal various moments of our day, they reflect every magical moment of our lives.

How many of you appreciate and criticize yourselves in the mirror?
… Magic Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all? …

Even for a Plastic Surgeon mirrors are important, indeed crucial.
The mirror helps to know, accept and criticize ourselves. During the meeting with the patient, analysis in front of the mirror represents a unique opportunity to discuss, reflect and understand how we can possibly improve our image or correct our defects …

We invite you to discover the Magic Mirror at Bond Milano, corner of Ripa di Porta Ticinese and at the Modern and Contemporary Art Gallery Il Castello, Brera district.

Each hyperrealistic mixed media creation in the series (made with charcoal, pencil, and acrylics on canvas) presents an entire world within the gaze of a glistening eye.
Fortunaterly none of Veri Apriyatno’s eyes have eyelid ptosis (drooping or falling of the upper eyelid) and they can refect everything.

Both photographers and plastic surgeons have to deal with proportions for every project-surgery and in this case we found out a meeting point between both of us representing spare parts on a patient and sensibilizing to “personal beauty” and not to mass beauty….
From one hand we have the hypotetical spare parts that everyone would like to choose but that doesnt mean that every nice looking nose would fit our face. When we modify an anatomical part of a body, a detailed and accurate pre operative study has to be performed; that means it has to fit the patient’s face-body without being unnatural and trying to preserve the personality and appearence.
It’s paradoxal but if surgeons could work like professional photograpers such as Hyperactive friends do, it would be so easy to change everything, always having the opportunity to undo practically everything… but it is not that way: they are always medical and/or surgical procedures that include different risks .

Dedicated to the more than 10,000 women under the age of 40 who will be diagnosed this year alone, The SCAR Project is an exercise in awareness, hope, reflection and healing.
Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in young women ages 15-40. The SCAR Project participants range from ages 18 to 35, and represent this often overlooked group of young women living with breast cancer. Through these simple pictures, they seem to gain some acceptance of what has happened to them and the strength to move forward with pride.”

…Reconstructive Surgery is very important after mastectomy since it can improve the aspect of breast, helping women to reclaim their femininity, their sexuality and identity…

Remember how important screening exams are for early breast cancer detection!

Excellent work of Nickolay Lamm, he created a “normal American” Barbie. If The normal Barbie existed, her mesures would be 91-45-83 (and so unnatural and unreal), but Nickolay Lamm created a “normal one”, that is the standard american girl : 81-78-83.
Notice how natural this barbie is, with natural fat pads at the inner thight and different shape of the abdomen. Notice also that even if she has e bigger buttok, it is well defined, high and nicer; it is an excellent way to appreciate “natural beauty” and fight against anorexia. Which one do you prefer?
