Spock Ears And Bizarre Body Modifications:

The pointed ear look made famous by the character Spock from the Star Trek series popular in the 1960s just may be making a comeback- courtesy modern cosmetic surgery.

This trend is reported to be the ‘in-thing’ among music loving youngsters in New York.
Claimed to enhance the musical experience of a person, these surgically worked upon ears are also said to add to a person’s physical appeal. The rise of Faun-Clubs where entrance is only granted to pointy-eared people attests to the growing popularity of such a procedure.

The famous Lizardman is another person who is known to split his tongue lizard-style using lasers via a tongue bifurcation procedure. Yet another procedure claims to change just about any part of a person’s body with implants made of surgical metals beneath the skin surface. So a person can get horns on his head, or a heart outlined on the chest, or a bracelet of beads etched into the skin of the wrist.

But how far will these strange body modifications go in benefiting a person’s health?

Passing trends are best enjoyed from afar; especially ones that sorely test a body’s physical structure and modify the anatomy so unusually. New-age plastic surgeons promise a lot of fascinating options for ‘enhancing’ a person’s physical appearance. But, it is up to the patient to weigh the pros and cons of something as important as plastic surgery.
