Elephant ears

Hi, I have had sort of sticky-out ears basically my whole life and I hate them. I have seen that it is possible to get them pinned back and was wondering if I should. I realise that people I know are going to take the piss a bit if I get it done but I wouldn't care tbh, I can take a joke.
I'm not going to post a picture of myself for obvious reasons but below is a picture of some random guy off google who has the same ears as me. Has anyone had this done before or thought about it? Thanks.

If you don't care about people taking the piss out of you for having pinned back ears, why do you care about what they look like at the moment?

any operation has a certain risk... including ear adjustment.

It's more for myself really, I just hate the look of them.
and I know girls aren't the biggest fan of them either, not that that really matters. It just means I could wear a hats without having to worry about my ears poking out and drawing attention to them and i wouldn't have too look at them myself.

Truthfully?

Learn to live with them and love them. They are you and you are unique.

A Buddhist will tell you: what we think we become. It's your own mind alone driving your unhappiness. So you have to correct the thought process not the physical attribute.

They don't stand out that much tbh, and will probably fly under the radar

there was a kid in my tutor group with genuinely big ears and we used to take the piss out of them...

We used to call him Dumbo and BFG :laugh:

I know two people who have had their ears pinned back and both were very happy with the results so if it's something you want and are set on doing it, it's up to you
