I don't know exactly what this is, but I can only presume it's parody/art/something other than real: a future-freaky cosmetic plastic surgery website in which flower-shaped bone implants are inserted underneath the skin to create a sort of decorative body-mod. A bit like scarification. If the website is legit, I can only hope that they have better surgeons on staff than they do copy editors. Snip:

The decision to undergo an implant intervention is exiting and relatively uninterfered. To choose it's form and size is important as it defines the best result. Our collection holds several examples to choose from. The organically formed implants to choose from, are based on the shapes of flowers, cultivated in the Netherlands and traded all over the world.

By coming to our clinic for a Floral Sculpture implant intervention, you will acquire a unique and permant reminder of the Netherlands. By carrying a special moment of your life right beneath your skin, you have become the lucky owner of the ultimate souvenir and part of your personal remembrance.

Update: BoingBoing reader Oscar Bartos says, "You are correct to suspect the authenticity of those implants. They were
part of a conceptual project to reinvent Dutch souvenirs. You can buy the ceramic flowers, but the artist (Simone Van Bakel) admits the implantation is only a concept, and the images are photoshopped.
Here's what she said:

"We get a lot of reactions!" says Van Bakel. "Articles in papers, live radio appearances, but we leave everyone in the supposition that the clinic is real. The funniest thing is everyone – journalists, potential clients, salesmen – believes it."

This came out of the current issue of ID Magazine. It also mentioned the ceramics are on sale here."


Update 2: Isis says, "Here's a FAQ on implants including sculpted implants as described on the floral sculpture clinic page. While what that website claims to sell is insane and wouldn't work, you could get the same effects in real life — but as the FAQ points out, it's risky and from what i've heard usually not long-lived before complications require implant removal."
