  • Patent number: 6408646
    Abstract: An earring to improve facial appearance is provided. The earring includes a main body which is hingedly affixed to an elongated post element. The post element has a unique structure and is designed to be received through a pair of holes which are made in and through the outer ear. A first hole is located on the region of the outer ear above the earlobe proximal the temporal bone on the pinnae or auricle of the ear and a second hole which is located on the earlobe proper. The earlobe is bent back behind the ear, aligning the first hole with the second hole. The post element would pass through both holes, pinning the earlobe behind the pinnae below the auditory canal. By placing a back or a securing means to the post extending through the folded ear configuration the earring is secured to the ear about the folded earlobe. By this method of attachment of the earring, wrinkles, loose skin, and the like on the face are smoothed out by the pulling action caused by the placement of the earrings.
