Cosmetic surgery procedures have endowed us with aspects our antecedents never possessed: massive bust line on skeletal girls. However, science and shallow-minded individuals with surplus bucks to shell out – were hardly content with that marvel, persisted in evolving cosmetic surgery procedures which digressed out of the territory of the wasted and image-fixated and into the realm of ‘what-the-heck’.

Following are six of the most pointless and appalling cosmetic surgery procedures vastly conducted.

1. Pointed Ears

Removal of a tiny ear wedge is done followed by suturing together the remnant ear resulting in the ear appearing pointing bearing striking resemblance to those of elves, owls or spocks. The procedure costs nearly eighteen hundred dollars that is spend for getting pointy ears that is actually an atypical birth anomaly that several parents get rectified when their child is still small.

Even more surprising is that ear pointing cosmetic surgery is a pseudo-method translating to the fact that physicians do not conduct it, however done by locally placed tattooing and piercing artists. Essentially, the analogous body-amendment forms involve stretching ear lobes till the extent that ear are pointed in a weird manner.

2. Voice Lifting Procedure

A voice lift procedure involves making an incision in the neck and placement of implants or fat injections into the vocal cords. It is also believed that some physicians also employ corpse skin which is then administered as a shot in the throat.
The objective of this cosmetic procedure costing from four to seven thousand dollars is to make one sound more youthful as aging often takes its toll on a person’s voice. In case the procedure is not performed correctly it could lead to hoarseness and abrasive-sounding voice.

3. Pinky Toe-Tuck Procedure

Toe tuck procedure though incongruous involves complete removal of the toe bone ever since narrow-fit footwear became the rage. The procedure is priced at two thousand dollars for each toe and the patient is totally anaesthetized during the twenty-minutes to 2 hour lasting procedure with its associated complications of harm to the nerve and developing infections. Recuperation period could vary from some weeks till some months. Individuals are even known to not just halt at the pinky toe, but even wanting their second toe to be operated upon as they are not happy with its appearance.

4. Micropigmentation

Women intent on getting out of the vicious cycle of donning and removing their makeup, often opt for micropigmentation procedure. This procedure is a replacement for makeup with eyeliners, eye shadows to even eyebrows being lastingly tattooed on the visage. Associated side effects could be likely hepatitis infection. Also the ever-evolving beauty & makeup alterations as time passes by, one could end up regretting the decision. The procedure costs from three hundred to fifteen hundred dollars and is widely performed in cases like baldness or alopecia, lost pigmentation among several other reasons like being able to save nearly a hundred hours annually on applying makeup, no accidental smearing, and offers an innate look.

5. Tongue Patches

The tongue patch procedure is done for varied purposes inclusive of covering earlier punctures due to tongue-piercings or even as means of reducing weight. The patch actually causes discomforting sensations when solid-textured food items are tried to be ingested thus making only fluid or liquid consistency foods to be eaten. The patch would stay sutured to the tongue for about a month’s time thus on average facilitating close to fifteen to thirty pounds weight loss. The procedure costs one thousand dollars but does have side-effects like weight loss not being exclusively fat loss. Following merely a week of liquid-based dietetic intake could lead to hair fall, faint spells, gallstone formation and even coma. Also optimal protein intake is obtainable from solid foods; hence due to their dearth the body would tend to derive the requisite amount from muscle and organ tissues. Re-introduction of normal foods would evidently lead to the body putting on what it had earlier lost.

6. Knee-Lift Procedure

This is a simple procedure involving removal of droopy, shrivelled and saggy knee skin and remnant skin being sutured back together for creating a younger-appearing knee skin. The method costs nearly eight thousand dollars and except for a few noticeable scars and least side-effects.
