Dessert Themed Implants

SquirrelGirl had these two implants — an ice cream cone and a cupcake — done by Brian of Pure Body Arts in Brooklyn, NY.

    the cupcake (swelling?) looks more like a child-drawn-type flower with a hole in the middle. we’ll see how great it looks, im sure, when the swelling goes completely down.

    I like the ice cream…but the cupcake, well you can’t really tell what it is unless you know, maybe that’s cause its swollen…? I dunno, but cool idea anyway.

    I love the look of implants but have concerns about infection. When medical implants are done, they are fraught with complications and infection setting up on the implant is a forever risk. I expect that cosmetic implants are ultimately not any different but we just don’t have big enough numbers in a large enough variety of individuals to be sure.

    The infection risk, btw, isn’t just from contamination of the implant site from the outside. Things like dental procedures can cause bacteria to enter the blood stream that finds a place (like an implant) to set up shop. Any infection can spread and settling on an implant even from a remote part of the body. To me, that’s the problem with so much of the increasingly common mods…the simple fact that we don’t know.

    what material was used to create these implants? Who physically designed/created them I wonder?

    And, would they itch for the wearer?

    they are made of solid silicone. and brian decker created them himself. i have a heart implant in my chest that he did.

    they dont itch… once it healed i completely forgot it was there. most of the time i dont think about it unless i see it in the mirror.

    as an academic I can’t help but wonder if anyone is doing serious studies on body modification. I don’t find a lot of good medical trials of these things and I can’t quite figure out why.

    wintermute: it really comes down to money. No implant manufacturer is going to pursue it when the do-it-yourselfers dominate the field. Really, the inherent cost in fully researched and developed medical devices would prevent most of the people who get stuff now from getting implants. If the ice cream cone cost $500 plus the procedure to insert it, I’m relatively sure we wouldn’t be seeing it here. Without that kind of margin, though, the implant companies won’t research the implications of materials and techniques over time.

    people should be taking into account that these are probably wicked fresh implants. of course they don’t look perfect yet. i couldn’t tell what the hell pauly unstoppable’s under-eye implants were for a little while, but now they’re perfectly clear.

    wait a bit, people.

    moddoctor: You make very good points about risks, which are inherent to any modification procedure, piercing, surgery, etc. The risks are discussed, known, and told how to deal with them both precautionary and if a problem arises. I’m not negating your points, but there are risks in everything we do, and the best we can do them is as clean and safely as possible.

    Anyone who absolutely hates these because of the design is welcome to their opinions of course, but from these pictures and knowing when they were done, they are perfectly healing implants and will become more defined with time. They go very well with her Strawberry Shortcake tattoo sleeves, too 🙂 Whether or not you like the ideas is your deal, but making someone feel badly about them is must lame.

    i knew right away it was a cupcake
    love the idea
    very original
    but the whole implant in the back of the hand idea
    just seems uncomfy to me
    i mean i guess it depends what your job is
    but your hands are pretty imperitive to many tasks in life
    working in a animal ER would not work with this implants…so i’d never get them
