In recent years, the elf ear has been fiercely fired, almost becoming a popular plastic surgery and beauty project, and some people even call it "appearance anxiety rolled up to the ears". So is the elf ear aesthetically pleasing?
In fact, as early as 9 years ago, there were beauty seekers who operated to make their ears into the long pointed ears of the elf prince in "The Lord of the Rings", in order to make themselves look more "unique". A 23-year-old girl in Ontario, Canada, considered herself an elf and spent about £250 to turn her ears into elf ears.

The real elf ear is a pointed protrusion above the tip of the ear obliquely. If the ear is to be transformed into a fairy ear, the surgical method is to remove the cartilage at the tip of the ear, fold the skin on both sides of the ear tip into an angle, suture and fix, and if necessary, add some cartilage to shape the ear tip, so that the rounded ear chakra becomes a sharp horn. But as a plastic surgeon, we think of this as a deformity of the auricular form, an ear that does not conform to the standard aesthetic, and is different from our mainstream aesthetic, and we do not advocate making the ear look like this elf ear.
So, what is the standard aesthetic ear? The standard aesthetic ear should be of moderate size, smooth contour, uniform thickness, ruddy and white color, thick and rounded earlobes, the lateral width of the ear chakra is close to 1/2 of the cheekbone width, the cranial ear angle is between 30 ° and 60 °, and the side stretch is beautiful.
Patients who will consider genie ear plastic surgery are still distressed by the pinnae close to the skull, and the ears are almost invisible on the front, so that there are problems such as large faces, protruding cheekbones, and stiff facial lines. If the ears can be exposed on the side of the face, to a certain extent, the contour of the face can be modified, and the face will appear smaller and more photogenic.
The purpose of the operation is also not to create a fairy ear effect with sharp corners of the ear, but to restore the normal ear by adjusting the angle between the pinna and the skull.
The method of ear correction surgery is to make an incision behind the ear, peel off the skin and cartilage tissue, place it behind the ear with rib cartilage or prosthetic materials such as silicone and expansion, suture and fix it, support the pinna, and make the auricle appear. Of course, the design and adjustment of the cranial auricular groove also needs to be designed and operated according to the overall appearance of the beauty seeker, so that there will be no sense of violation.
In plastic surgery, no matter what kind of surgery, it is necessary to do what you can, do not have to pursue "uniqueness", but start from yourself and mainstream aesthetics. It is also necessary to remind everyone that if you want to do the idea of correcting the ear of the sticker, it is still recommended that you find a professional doctor to do the operation, so that the effect of the operation can be guaranteed.
