Ears, one of the greatest organs our body has. Unfortunately, like most things, they come in all different shapes and sizes! 1 in a 100 people have ears which stick out, I guess we can call the other 99 the 'lucky ones'. Protruding ears can immensely affect self-esteem, embarrassment and even, some deeper, psychological problems.
I guess you could throw me in to the category of protruding ears. Ok, they're not exactly like Will Smith's or Katie Holmes, I would say they're more pixie-looking! However, over time, I've come to deal with the fact I'm just never going to get the opportunity to scrape my hair back and bare my Dumbo ears.
Saying that, recently I spotted Made in Chelsea star, Millie Mackintosh, who attended the FHM Sexiest Women in the World Awards (by the way, the stunning lady came 15th!) a couple of weeks back. Her ears are not what you call 'small', in fact they're pixie-looking, too. At the awards, she was seen dangling off boyfriend, Professor Green's arm while flaunting a gorgeous, black dress, a flawless tan but, wait a minute, hair scraped back as well!
It occurred to me that you never see magazine headlines screaming "Millie has ear reshaping!" or "Miley Cyrus goes under the knife to get perfect, small ears". As daring as it is, it appears that Millie is embracing her pointy flaws and showing that you should be proud of whatever you have.
However, the bigger picture is far different. Ear Reshaping is a popular surgery procedure to correct or 'pin back' the ears. It is even available on the NHS. Cosmetic surgery companies boast that the operation is 'pain-free' and an 'easy procedure'. But is it really worth it?
The Harley Medical Group promote the positive things that ear reshaping can offer you, these include points like 'better confidence' and 'a wider choice of hairstyles'. But celebrities that we see on our TVs, such as Julia Roberts, are not quick to hide those ears. Some celebrities are more focused on getting boob jobs or nose jobs, instead!
So if you're that one person out of a hundred, please just embrace it. Stars that we see in magazines and newspapers aren't bothered about hiding theirs and neither should you. My advice is instead of drawing attention to your ears, pick your best feature, for example the eyes and make them the centre of attention, by using eye shadows that complement your eye colour. If enough is enough and you do decide to choose ear correction then going private will set you back a whopping £2,200, is it really worth it? My answer is stop fretting about those ears that stick out and if you still don't want to show those ears, just relax and let your hair down.
Love, writelovewrite.
