PLASTIC SURGERY
CONFLICT

PROJECT THEME / social concept design
DURATION / 2021.02-2021.03, 2 months
PROJECT TYPE / Individual

Plastic surgery is becoming more and more common today, and it is empowered by technology in our pursuit of beauty. Some people choose to undergo plastic surgery in order to become more attractive and confident. however, some anti-plastic surgery groups have been resisting this behaviour with conservative ideas. They may be their family, lover, co-workers, or friends and so on. disagreements and even conflicts arise in the process of getting along and communicating. So we need to use empathy design to narrow the gap between the two groups of people's thinking and mitigate unnecessary conflicts. 

Through research, the anti-plastic surgery crowd only sees the beginning and result, which leads them to believe that this is easy and can be achieved with only money and technology. However, plastic surgeons need to fully make adequate psychological and physical preparations before the surgery, and the recovery period after the surgery is a very painful process. Finally, we need to simulate the conditions of plastic surgery patients during the recovery period by controlling the behaviour of the face through a wearable device, it allowed the testers to feel uncomfortable during use.

When the tester puts on the product, the product automatically shrinks the string to pull their face according to the degree of difference between the original face and the target face. The greater the degree, the more painful the tester will be, and the better the effect will be displayed on the front screen, the closer to the target face they originally set. It also tells people that "the more beautiful you get, the more pain you have to suffer." 

In the future, in every plastic surgery hospital, people can be given a stress test before the surgery to prepare for the psychological and physical challenges later. This will not only be a device for anti-plastic surgery people but can serve as a plastic surgery stress test product.
