工作太不容易，男子面部严重变形！自嘲“青蛙王子”……这些都是职业病

Core Viewpoint - A glassblower in Guangdong, who has been in the profession for 30 years, has gained attention due to his facial changes resulting from his work, humorously referring to himself as the "Frog Prince" [1][3]. Group 1: Glassblowing Profession - The glassblower's facial transformation is attributed to the development of facial muscles from prolonged and intense blowing, leading to a unique appearance [3][14]. - Glassblowing is a manual craft that involves using a metal pipe to blow air into molten glass (at temperatures of approximately 1000-1200°C) to shape it [8][10]. - While machines can produce glass, manual glassblowing remains relevant for its artistic uniqueness, ability to create complex shapes, small batch production, and cultural heritage [10][12][13]. Group 2: Physiological Changes - The changes in the glassblower's face are a physiological adaptation to the specific demands of the job, similar to how athletes develop muscles through training [14][17]. - The repeated strain on facial muscles during glassblowing can lead to muscle hypertrophy and potential changes in bone structure, particularly in the jaw [15][19]. - Long-term glassblowing may also pose health risks, including temporomandibular joint disorders and potential cardiovascular impacts due to high-pressure breathing [20][21].
