Amber Tamblyn Opens Up About Undergoing Ear Pinning Surgery at Age 12


Amber Tamblyn is getting candid about her decision to undergo cosmetic surgery as a child star after landing her role on ‘General Hospital’ in 1995

“As a little girl, I had ears that stuck out like butterfly wings,” the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants star wrote in an opinion piece for The New York Times, published on Saturday, October 20. Paul Morigi/Getty ImagesTamblyn explained how she struggled internally with this choice, describing herself as “a fiery young feminist” who “raged against the patriarchy” and, at that age, felt like “a hypocrite who gave into it” for getting the elective surgery. The Joan of Arcadia alum also praised director Coralie Fargeat ’s body-horror film The Substance, which stars Demi Moore as an aging actress who uses a new drug to transform into a younger version of herself (played by Margaret Qualley).
