Facial Prosthetics Bring Art And Design Together

Crafting facial prosthetics requires a combination of fine art and medical skills. Greg Gion, an anaplastologist, comes from a fine arts background and has been designing facial prostheses since the 1980s. Most of the pieces he makes are for people who have lost facial features to either cancer or accidents.

I can't imagine how painful going through some of these injuries must have been and even worse the feeling of being outkast because of an injury the fact that now we can replicate those parts and help people gain back confidence is great

I can't believe how incredibly seamless the matched pieces fit. They look so natural it's almost shocking

[deniseneuman]

The size and depth of the first lady’s eye cavity was scary. I didn’t know people could survive having such a large opening in their heads.

[mikalabaker]

INCREDIBLE! I cannot imagine the gratitude these patients must feel for being able to live a normal life with the aid of these amazing prosthetics! Bless them!

[MoonshineSunset]

It looks so realistic, I can't even imagine how much work it takes to adjust it to the patients needs, features and skin.

I make sculptures and paintings and takes me at least 2 weeks to finish a decent 'realistic' piece that's not even close to this amazing work of his. This man is such a blessing to the human race 👏👏

[sashaklepner]

My dad makes prosthetics, truly such an underrated but amazing business. Thank god we still have some humanity in this world ♥️

[lenahabibmbaye]

The eye hole was incredible didn’t know people coul survive with an open hole like that

[carmengogeidnas]

Instead of being scared or grossed out, I just felt sheer awe at the artistry and gratitude that those people could have a prosthetic that is almost undetectable

This takes “I got your nose” to a whole new level.

[tonytvtonytv]

The technology was fantastic but damn dude I wasnt ready for this

[felixir]

Think about how much detail and effort it takes to create such a realistic looking thing. I’m amazed 😱

[georgiagirl]

What a blessing to have someone to make people feel whole. I can’t imagine. Wonderful talent being put to good use.

[lindylu]

Makes us realise how fortunate we are that we don't need any of these and how fortunate those people are to have talented caring people to help them. ❤

[MisterPomelo]

These prosthesis are masterpieces, I wouldn't notice them!! With such beautiful and mastercrafted designs, I hope they can get back to normality easier. Keep up the good work!!

[hanaeve__]

I can’t imagine playing “got your nose” with the first guy.

[nclarindo]

Fascinating work. It's amazing to see art and science coming together to make people's lives better. Props to this man, these people and to all the professionals who saved their lives.

[tonyharion]

This is amazing! I can only imagine how much such a well done prosthetic like those can change someone's quality of life and wellbeing.
Outstanding!

[teddybear]

These doctors need more recognition and their patients deserve to be featured and acknowledged too to spread awareness
