China: Women are undergoing ‘dangerous’ surgery to get “Elf ears”

NYP- For centuries, pointy elven ears were viewed by many as an undesirable beauty flaw — now young people are lining up to get them.

In China, many women are getting dangerous plastic surgery to attain “elf ears.” Most, though, are not striving to look like J. R. R. Tolkien’s Legolas or J.K. Rowling’s Dobby. These beauty seekers claim that by enlarging their ears, their faces look slimmer and thus more attractive.

“The results are very obvious,” Song Yao, a clothing store owner from Hangzhou who underwent the surgery, told Vice. “You can see my ears from the front, and overall I look more energetic.” more

  3. I guess I’d rather look at pointy ears than purple hair, tatted body, and face piercings. Many weirdos have spent far more time and money on destroying their looks than having pointy ears. No one said anything about Dr. Spock.

  4. Mad Magazine was waaaaay ahead of it’s time in the 60s. One issue featured a Kirk Douglas chin, Barbara Streisand nose, David Janssen ears, Burt Lancaster teeth & Beatles wigs all part of trendy fads. Now it would be insensitive to capitalize on facial accents. (Isn’t that right, Rapinhoe?) https://imgur.com/xpNEya6
