Surgery to create "Bagel head" could be dangerous

[Jenna]

To obtain the look, approximately 400 cc’s of

saline solution is injected under the skin

through a needle and intravenous line. Two hours later after the liquid slowly inflates the skin, the needle is removed and a thumbprint is made in the center of the puffy area, creating the look of a bagel.

A NHS nursing guidebook indicates the following complications can occur as a result of SQ fluid therapy:

• Localized infection from frequent needle use
• Bruising
• Prolonged fluid retention in the tissue, often with a “pitted” appearance
• Redness of the skin caused by irritated capillaries near the surface

Bagel head: Newest trend in body modification, but is it safe?

Cute? More like STOOPID, IMHO.

Just what the world needs. MORE freaks!

But what do I know?

Maybe the look they really want?
