    So...this is so silly and I know most people probably don't notice when they look at me, but it drives me crazy!  When I was born, one of my ears was rolled up.  My parents didn't tape it back, so it sticks out more than the other.  It is quite noticable (to me) when I take pictures straight on.  I'm worried that I will have pictures that I hate just because of my annoying ear issue.  Any ideas for disguising or keeping it back? 

    I already have long(ish) sideswept bangs on that side of my face to disguise it a bit...but it's not enough for me!  Any suggestions are welcome!

    Have you considered wearing your hair down ala Mrs. Champagne? That's what I'm doing, because my cosmetic issue is my "Fat" face, thankfully long hair worn down elongates my face.

    My veil lends itself to a half up or all up type hairstyle :(

    hmm! i've heard of celebrities who have ears that open up more 'tape' it back with double sided tape...as long as you don't have allergies~

    but I think a better solution would to have a hair style that parts to the side to cover it up, or a birdcage veil or hair piece that would help distract the eye from the ear~

    and lastly, DO mention this to your photographer so he can pay attention to it when composing the portraits and also taking the candid/photo journalistic type of photos! good lucik!

    I was taunted by my dear brother as a child about my "Dumbo" ears. My ears are fine now and I've grown into  them but I have a severe complex about them so my hair requirement is an updo that covers my ears. I'm going for a soft romantic feel kinda like these

    can you just pull the top part of your hair up but still cover your ears?  this is how I did it for my e-shoot
