YipYip, I was about to reference "A Clockwork Orange" for The Ludovico Technique (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Clockwork_Orange ) but this is self-imposed and more facial puncture. If it were more Gigeresque then I'd call it art.
Well, it looks like it's basically hooks and eyes, commonly used in sewing, combined with some thread/string. I'd like to know how the hooks/eyes are connected to the skin. The picture itself is remarkably symmetrical, except for the lower lip.
It almost looks like they've used some sort of glue, since stitching the things on would leave pucker marks, and it appears there is residue or a shininess around the pieces.
Um, not that I'm some weird glue expert or anything but it was never designed for skin. It was discovered during WWII to make rifle sight parts and some research was conducted into whether it could be used for gluing wounds up but it was never approved.
This I already knew, but a quick read of Wiki says that that '2-octyl cyanoacrylates' are used for closing wounds. That may well be what's used with the hook and eyes but another possibility is spirit gum.
