Bodies that overcome the limit, exceed the border, overflow themselves

Abstract

As the focus of countless ways of intervention aiming appearance changes, the body has always suffered manipulations with this purpose; in contemporaneity, it acquires transformation possibilities which were once inconceivable. One of the elements contributing to the diversity of modifications practiced nowadays is the bond between the domains of fashion with the domain of aesthetic medicine. Such connection allows an approximation to the current beauty pattern to those whom desire it. Another element is the body modifiers’ technical accuracy which offers varied possibilities to those who want to dissociate themselves from this pattern. This article deals with those bodies, in both groups, who have overcome the limit, exceeded the border, overflowed themselves.
