Zhenya Bolotov has spent the last several years slowly stretched his lower lip to a whopping 58 mm, creating a "duck bill-effect" which has earned him the nickname the "Human Platypus" among some in the media.The 28-year-old Russian body modification fan from Perm achieved the transformation by inserting various plugs and stretchers into eight parts of his face, leading some to name him after the duck-billed semi-aquatic mammal. However Bolotov says that "Platypus" is just a pseudonym, a nickname that he often goes by.Bolotov stretched his earlobes, septum, nostrils, and both his lips in a manner made famous by the lip plates used by the men of some Amazonian tribes. The designer has made most of the lip plates himself, so he can colour-coordinate according to whatever type of event he might be attending.Zhenya has pronounced himself satisfied with the result, saying he likes how his body looks. He is also part of a social networking group dubbed "Human Platypus," with members dedicated to body modification with lip plates.Facebook: www.facebook.com/Ruptly Twitter: twitter.com/Ruptly LiveLeak: www.liveleak.com/c/Ruptly Google Plus: google.com/+RuptlyTV Instagram: www.instagram.com/Ruptly YouTube: www.youtube.com/user/RuptlyTV DailyMotion: www.dailymotion.com/ruptly Video on Demand: www.ruptly.tv
