In Season 2 of 'The Pitt', head makeup artist Myriam Arougheti faced the challenge of surpassing the intense effects from the first season. This included creating a clamshell thoracotomy, where a patient is stabbed, requiring realistic skin textures and flexibility in the silicone used. Episode 8 featured 'margarita burns,' a rare injury that involved applying silicone blisters to simulate severe sunburn. Arougheti humorously noted the difficulty of making these injuries appear realistic without veering into comical territory. Another standout moment was a head flap effect in Episode 12, where a character suffers a severe head injury from a fireworks explosion. This intricate effect took six weeks to create, involving detailed casting and hair matching. The season culminated in a dramatic C-section scene, where a blended prosthetic belly and a goopy baby were crafted to enhance the realism. Arougheti's meticulous attention to detail and innovative techniques highlight the artistry behind the show's shocking visuals.
