      They all have an interesting slat, but the most amusing has been a bottom! Most are facial prostheses involving detailed reconstruction of eyes, ears noses and parts of the face. They’re challenging to get right and there’s still a way to go before engineering alone can do this – it takes the skill of a maxillofacial prosthetist to achieve a lifelike result still. This makes those types of cases an interesting challenge that combines artistry with engineering.
