A few months ago Lostetrnl had both ears pointed, and you can see them above freshly sutured. Unfortunately, unlike most of the ear pointing I’ve posted here, his ears strongly resisted changing shape, and his cartilage forced itself into its original configuration as best it could and effectively “opened up”. At two months, pictured below, his ears are definitely in need of a touch-up, with the left one being especially difficult.
EDIT: I’m told that the left ear was in an accident which caused some of the sutures to rip out, allowing the ear to open even more than the right one did… Hopefully I’ll be back on IAM soon so I can do more follow-up on posts so I don’t have to insert edits!
I don’t have any reason to believe the practitioner made a mistake on how this was done, so I’m not mentioning that here, but I should say that this is an artist that’s done lots of ear pointing with great results in a vast majority — people should remember that things can always go wrong even in the best of situations!

i know those pics, that’s me! and yes, brian was very wonderful and professional in all his work. we both knew and understood beforehand how big of a hassle and risk it was going to be to work with my ears, but it was a risk i was more than willing to take, and thus i greenlighted him to use any method or technique he taught would help my chances. given what he had to work with, in my extremely ‘tense’ ears, i’m more than happy with how the right ear turned out. All of that redness and such is gone from it, and it’s fine now. I need to put up newer 4month old pics of it now.. ^_^. as for the left ear, an accident at work, more specifically a 50lb patio table box fell right across that ear and ripped out the majority of the sutures when it was only 2 weeks old, while all but one of the remaining sutures ripped themselves out over the new two days afterwards. i am planning to have it reworked though, in the new few months i hope, and hopefully it will all go much smoother the second time around… ^_^
brian did my ears and are fucking fantastic. My ears were a bit of a challenge but they look hot; all the nerd boys want to play with my vulcan ears haha.

The importance of context.
When I first looked at these photos, I thought, wow, what a botched ear point!
After reading the statements from the artist, eyewitness, and the the owner of said ears, I think, wow, I’m amazed that it turned out as good as it did.
It is hard to repress snap judgments sometimes, but this will serve as a reminder to me that if pictures don’t downright lie, they can at LEAST mislead one terribly without proper context.
So yeah, I’d love to see the current pics, and good look with the upcoming rework.

That is almost PRECISELY what happened to my ears- I want to send a story in to BME about it, as I am having my ears surgically pointed for a SECOND time very soon, and am wondering if anyone else has undergone the same thing?
