When my cousin was born, his ears stuck-out too much (according to my Aunt). I'm sure he looked fine. Well anyway, she thought he would get ridiculed growing-up, so she had them pinned-back closer to his little head! Can you believe that!? OMG!!

It's wonderful when medical science is used for good purposes like this. A truly heartwarming story.
