Abstract
This work attempts to find a reflection about the abuse, risky corporal practices and medical malpractice in plastic surgery that make bodies to disfigure, and cause a loss in their gender characteristics. This reflection came up to me after watching the documentary film called The Ballad of Genesis and Lady Jane, this film is a story about a couple of lovers who used medical technology to transform their bodies, in order to become equal beings with the same body as a same person, they called it pandrogyny. Following this artistic purpose, I want to question the gender technologies that produce feminine or masculine bodies trough plastic surgery. Especially the way in which persons infiltrate toxic substances for supposed health purposes, like guaiacol, liquid silicone, mineral oil, vegetable oil, animal oil, autogenous fat and biopolymers. These people, in general, lose body parts which they want to transform, such as breast, buttocks, hips, legs, or they end up with some disability or a disfigured body in which masculinity and femininity cannot be distinguished.
