The Chinese make themselves protruding elf ears (6 photos)

Devil's horn lips remain Asia's weirdest and wackiest beauty trend. In second place are Chinese women, who cut the muscles on their calves so that their legs do not pump up too much. But the third place, perhaps, can be claimed by the “eared” trend of China.





Chinese women and young Chinese are now ordering slightly pointed ears from a plastic surgeon, like Legolas from the film “The Lord of the Rings.”



These are already goblin ears, to be honest, because elves have long ones and goblins have short ones

But not only should the ears be sharp, but they should not fit tightly to the head. So, they say, the face looks more slender, framed by protruding ears. And so - the taste with sharp tips to order comes with a slight protruding ear.





Indeed, the impression from a face with and without ears is very different

And in other countries people suffer from protruding ears

How much does it cost to become an elf in China?

Around 10,000 yuan, but you can find it cheaper from semi-underground doctors.

It is difficult not so much to cut the tip of the ear as to secure it sticking out slightly from the skull. There are several techniques here. Some doctors insert a hyaluronic acid roller behind the ear to keep them from folding back.

The second doctors insert a piece of cartilage behind the ear, which is more reliable, because the hyaluronic acid can dissolve and the ears will fall back into place.

How can you show off your ears when you can only see them from the side? But it needs to be visible immediately, when you look in the face.

Loop ears in China

We and the Chinese have very different attitudes towards protruding ears. In the USA, some girl will be shy and hide her protruding ears behind her bob. They may even tease her with her lop-eared face.

And in China they are traditionally considered a symbol of good luck. So it was easy for the trend for protruding elf ears to conquer the already “warmed up” market.

It is worth admitting that a face with protruding ears looks completely different, more solid and not so square.

True, there are a lot of nerve endings in the ears, so there is a high risk of damaging something, especially with injections of hyaluronic acid.



But this is uh... already somehow doubtful!

By the way, in Korea they also like to make their ears stand out a little, especially when photographing for documents. It is believed that this makes the face more youthful and playful, childish (oh, this Asian trend for childish appearance). But in Korea, they more often used invisible adhesive tape, tampons behind the ear, even hair clips, and less often resorted to ear surgery.

Quite strange for Koreans who like to “cut” themselves! They are probably afraid for their health, because it’s really dangerous to touch your ears too much.
