According to the Daily Mail, our earlobes show our age just as much as the condition of our hands our decolletage. Well, I can’t say I’ve ever looked at a persons earlobes to determine how old they look, but it seems other people do as a cosmetic operation called ‘earlobe rejuvination’ has stepped into trend.

This lobe lift is supposed to lift sagging earlobes to make them look younger, smaller and rounder. It takes 40 minutes under local anaesthetic and has a massive £1,100 price tag.

The majority of patients are women who have undergone botox and facelifts, but feel that their ears are letting them down.

What do you think of this new procedure? Is it a nifty anti-aging trick or a step too far?
