To get ears like "elves" is not an easy matter. There are several methods that can be done, ranging from the simplest to the most invasive. One popular method is by injecting hyaluronic acid behind the earlobe to make it protrude sideways. Although the effect is only temporary, many choose this method because of the minimal risks.

Meanwhile, for a more permanent effect, many people in China choose to undergo plastic surgery where a piece of cartilage is inserted behind the ear. Although it is more expensive and requires a longer recovery, this is considered an option for those who truly desire permanent changes.

Although it may sound strange to some people, China's obsession with "elf" ears is not new. In fact, several years ago, some famous actresses and models in China were seen wearing these "elf" ears. Source: Odditycentral.com.
