Anybody with overly large ears has probably heard almost every joke imaginable about their size. Whether these jokes draw comparisons to the Disney character Dumbo the elephant, airplane wings, satellite dishes, or cars with open doors, they can all be hurtful.
People who have ears that noticeably stick out from the head are often the target of a number of jokes. This can cause patients, especially children and teens, to feel self conscious about their appearance.
Earlobe piercing is one of the earliest documented forms of body modification. There are examples of this dating as far back as ancient Egypt, in which the pharaoh Tutankhamen was buried with sets of earrings.
The condition known as cauliflower ear can result from direct, blunt force trauma to the ear. The cartilage of the ear only gets its blood supply from the skin.
The practice of ear gauging (stretching an earlobe by piercing it wider and wider over time, using plugs of various sizes) goes back thousands of years in a variety of cultures.
Drooping brows can cause a person to look tired or angry, even when they are feeling alert and content. If you are unhappy with brows that rest too low on your face, you can undergo a brow lift or BOTOX® treatment to raise the brows into a more youthful position.
