Pointy Ears

By Miss Cellania in Body Modifications, Health on Oct 26, 2007 at 8:57 am

New York plastic surgoen Dr. Lajos Nagy created a surgical procedure to make human ears pointed, like a mythological creature. From his website:

A newfangled extravagance is spreading amongst the music-lover youngsters of New York, which, after invading America, is sure to conquer the whole world. Ears becoming pointed as a result of plastic surgery not only enhance the attractiveness of the face, but also improve the experience of listening to music.

Dr. Nagy is planning to introduce the method in Hungary. Link -via the Presurfer

Neat stuff from the NeatoShop:

I’m gonna have to call bullsh*t on this one… if you look at every before and after photo on the Doctor’s website, all of the ears are exactly the same… not only that, but it says on the website that the procedure takes 3-4 weeks to completely heal, yet all of the recipients hairstyles are exactly the same! You’d think that there would be a slight change in length, etc. Check out the before/after photos you posted on your site…the dudes hair is exactly the same – even the hair down his neck is the same. Either this site is just a well thought out prank, or the before/after photos are just staged and not real recipients of the faun ear transplant… I can’t believe I actually giveashit enough to post a comment.

“[...] but also improve the experience of listening to music.”

I seriously doubt that. Also: Head, meet desk!

i’m Hungarian, i checked the site in Hungarian, and it seems legitimate. it’s a plastic surgery office, and does other kinds of surgeries too.

While that site is a hoax, ear pointing is a fairly common form of body modification.

I actually know a girl who got it done, by a body modifier she knows, in his basement. They look nasty.

If that’s not Photoshop, then that guy is seriously anal about his hair. There’s no way he could have gotten the two styles that close (check out the little hairs sticking up on the crown of his head!); the photos must’ve been taken the same day, which argues against any form of real surgery.

Considering that each ear tip on every one of those persons look exactly the same there’s no way that that isn’t a Photoshop edit. Skilled surgeons (legitimate or not) can do amazing things with ear pointing, but having four people heal exactly the same is impossible.

Shaving nics? Look at the hair! Every twist and curl and shadow is in the exact same position. If you’re gonna fake your stoopid elf ears with photochop, at least take some plausibly different source pics.

To “improve the experience of listening to music”? Why stop at pointy ears? Why not go all out and get flappy elephant ears??

He’s not created anything new, this has been around for years, its not even complicated to do.

Yup, his hair’s greasy, so it could have stayed in place that long, but you think he could have washed it at least for the surgery.

even if these pictures are fake, there are websites where you can see real pictures taken throughout the procedure, for expamle bmezine.com *sticks tongue out at you non-believers*

I’m actually thinking about this for multiple reasons one beimg i love history and mythology and so much mythology has pointy eared elfs and such, plus alot of things i like have elfish ears but is there anyway that i would be able to get them long like jak from jak and daxter or (only other one i can think of) arthur and the minimoys….or wow you know the rally long ones that are thinner than normal ears too…. even if this site is a hoax im sure theres a way to do it and make it look legitimatly good

I believe he took two sets of pictures with each person and had them change their clothes for the second. You would think, if he thought to chance the clothes, he would’ve thought to change the hair too, and put some makeup over the blemishes.

Anywho, while these pictures are fake, the procedure is real and has been done many times before.

i have this done. i live in scotland and its rare here. i met an american guy who was over and he gave me pixie ears. it was brutal. itchy and bled for days. i didnt get a wee white plaster to hold them together but they healed perfectly. and i love them and the second glances and whispers that come with them. check out lunacobra.net. mine are the ones tagged pixie, it is not a fake procedure. but im not sure id go as far as to say it improved my experience of listening to music. haha.

If it’s true he is a nut. I was born with pointy ears and I don’t even want them, but they are the ears I came with and they are going to be the ones I leave with.
