Born with the wrong face? Or perhaps you’ve noticed your photograph hanging in the post office...
The non-surgical solution is computer controlled osteogene-porosis. A CAT scan of your facial structure is compared to your chosen target (lets say, Lauren Bacall), and a sculpture protocol
is automatically generated. The protocol is executed while you sleep, while wearing a comfortable sleeping mask every night for several months. The mask has fine matrix of electrodes that are computer controlled to supply a pattern of very low currents, not noticeable, sculpting your facial bones by a combination of electrically stimulated osteogenesis and osteoporosis.
Prototype mask goes horribly wrong...

Interesting, but what happens to nerves, muscles and skin during this process? That is, how would you get them to form to your new bone structure? |
|
| |
[Twibble] Don’t worry, that is all automatic. Living bone is recycled all the time. All the mask does is slightly alter the electrical environment, so that the biological template is tweaked. Nothing out of the ordinary is occurring, except that there is a little more growth than normal here, and a little more removal than normal there. |

Well, I still wouldn't be comfortable guinea-pigging the prototype but here is a croissant (slightly altered to look like Bogart). |

Why yes. Yes I am Brad Pitt.
No, I'm really almost bald. They make me wear a wig on set.
And a corrsett.
A-and platform shoes.
And a sock in ... |

Where did you get your mad scientist degree, Dr. Pluterday? |

[snarfyguy] Duh! - see link. :-) |

this is kinda weird... you could engineer yourself to look like the brat down the street...then you could call in sick, go into their work, and flick everyone off! |
