About
David Teplica MD, MFA is a board-certified plastic & reconstructive surgeon, photographer, and researcher based in Chicago, IL.
Dr. Teplica uses his unique dual training in the Fine Arts and Plastic Surgery to guide scientific investigation of human anatomy. The information generated enriches both his artistic explorations, but also allows for a more natural approach to surgical manipulation of body form in his profession as a plastic surgeon. Dr. Teplica has proposed a new concept of “anatomic predetermination” after performing background scientific work that showed that anatomic features are genetically predetermined for both their 3-dimensional location as well as the timing of their expression on the surface of the body.
