Method and means for pinning back protruding ears

Abstract

A method and means for pinning back protruding or prominent ears including a kit comprising of double-sided adhesive strips, a bottle of liquid adhesive enhancer, and a bottle of liquid adhesive remover or dissolver. The liquid adhesive enhancer is applied to the back of the ear and skin on the scalp adjacent to the back of the ear. The adhesive strips are cut to size, the backing paper is removed from the strips, and the strips are attached to either the back of the ear or the skin of the scalp. The ear is then pressed towards the head and the adhesive holds the ear in a place closer to the head. When finished, the ear is pulled away, the strips removed, and the liquid adhesive remover is applied to remove any adhesive that may have stuck to the skin.

Problems solved by technology

Many people are unhappy with the way that they look.

People look up to public figures, such as artists, actors, speakers, models, and others, and think that the public figures may have the “ideal look.” Anything variant from the look of the public figures is seen as unwanted, and people will find ways to circumvent their shortcomings.

The prominent ears make individuals shy and embarrassed, as they do not see the public figures with protruding ears.

This is not always a feasible alternative, as dress codes and other rules require the people to dress a certain way.

Additionally, some devices may actually bring more attention to the ears because they are not always seen, and people may have a desire to see what is hidden.

Surgery is expensive, however, and not everyone can afford it.

In the past, people tried using adhesives, but they also were not successful.

The adhesives were not successful as it was very time-consuming making the devices, and the adhesives were not strong and would fall off within a short time of applying.
