Bagel head

Television coordinator La Carmina between two bagel head recipients

Bagel head is a type of body modification pioneered in Canada.[1] It is a temporary (6- to 24-hour) swelling distortion of the forehead created by a saline drip and often shaped to resemble a bagel or donut. In 2012, after appearing on a National Geographic TV special, this practice became the subject of sensationalism as news outlets worldwide misleadingly declared it a "Japan trend".[2]
