Cosmetic Surgery Casting, Resculpting & Remembrance Casting

Cosmetic Surgery Resculpt for Client_edi

A unique service we offer is cosmetic surgery casting and re-sculpting. We create a duplicate of whatever body part will be altered, then work with you to achieve the look you desire on an additional copy of your casting. These are then used as references with your plastic surgeon to accurately communicate exactly what you are hoping to achieve, as well as what is possible via surgery. Rhinoplasty, and other facial reconstruction procedures, is what this process is most commonly used for.

Sometimes plastic surgery will not be needed, however you may still wish to have a remembrance casting of a part of your body that is being removed or altered, such as with mastectomies. Having a casting during this time offers comfort and helps with the emotional processing during these transitions.

Bereavement/Memorial Casting

Sometimes the unexpected happens. When it does we can help you through that via life casting. When a loved one has just passed or is close to passing, having a life casting of them can help with the process immensely. We can cast people as well as pets. Having a sculpture of their hand or paw with yours, their face, or for the little ones, even their tiny feet can bring comfort. We can arrange casting on site for the circumstance. Contact us to speak about pricing and your needs for the process.
