I wanted to see which surgeon would agree to perform this otoplasty in the tristate area (I'm willing to travel too). I want to get "elf" ears done that most of people would find freaky (I'm well aware I still want it). I'd go to a body modifier who wouldn't judge me and charges $400 but I really would like to get the procedure with some kind of anesthesia (which body modifiers are not allowed to use) that's why I'm willing to pay more. Who would agree to do this and how much will it cost?
