Melynda Moon Has Ears Altered To Look Like Elves

23-year-old Canadian model Melynda Moon has ears altered to look like elves. In August, 2011, Melynda Moon decided to get an operation that would make her ears look like a character from her favorite book series, "Lord of the Rings."

Moon, who lives in Guelph, Ontario, said the decision to change her elf, er, herself, was a long time coming. She believes she was a fairy in a previous existence.

The doctors who performed the $408 surgery skinned the tops of her ear cartilage, then skinned and cut pieces from the tips to form points. These tips were stitched together and removed a few weeks later after the ear skin was allowed to fuse, the Mirror reported.
