Overview
- Ana Castela told followers on Instagram that she sticks back her prominent ears, citing lifelong bullying and a past surgery that did not hold.
- Terra reported she displayed Otostick, a transparent double‑sided corrector priced around R$180 for eight pieces, with a manufacturer claim of 2–7 days per application, after previously mentioning instant glue.
- Dermatologist Natasha Crepaldi of UFMT and the Brazilian Society of Dermatology said prolonged adhesives are unsuitable for continuous skin use and can cause dermatitis, allergies, irritation, wounds, infections, and damage from traction.
- Crepaldi advised safer options that include medical ear molding in early infancy, otoplasty for older patients, and temporary cosmetic styling rather than extended adhesive use.
- In new coverage, plastic surgeon Carlos Tagliari explained that otoplasty can relapse due to cartilage characteristics, surgical technique, and postoperative habits, recommending professional re‑evaluation before considering further correction.
