Real-Life 'Dr. Frankenstein’ Helps Replace Missing Body Parts With Prosthetics

She’s the real-life Dr. Frankenstein! Anaplastologist Allison Vest isn’t a mad scientist, she’s a medical professional and artist. She’s using all of her medical and artistic skills to make realistic prosthetics — restoring missing eyes, noses, fingers, and toes with silicon versions. Her work has been featured on the new TLC show “Body Parts.” When an 8-year-old Easton boy lost both of his ears in a dog attack in 2018, Allison made new ears for him modeled after those of a boy similar in age.
