The League has begun and, among the new faces of the best championship in the world, is that of Lucas Digne, a French left-back who a few weeks ago, at his presentation at the F.C. Barcelona Ciutat Esportiva, was wearing a conspicuous bandage, the kind that cannot be hidden: he had had his nose operated on.

And the procedure was justified: in recent months he had suffered two fractures, which are what forced him to undergo surgery. Unfortunately for his photo album, his new team presented him to the fans and the media while he was still required to wear protection, hence his look.

What the footballer did not talk about, although the transformation is evident, is that he had also had surgery on the protruding ears that can be seen in his earlier photos with the French national team, and decided to have an otoplasty to correct them.

He is not the first, nor will he be the last, and at the Blaugrana club he has a glorious precedent:

  • Dani Alves, now in the Italian league, also corrected the «jug ears» («Champions ears», they could be called, since they resemble the handles of the cup that champions lift) with which we knew him when he arrived in Spanish football and landed at Sevilla.
  • the Welshman Gareth Bale, who underwent an otoplasty about a year before travelling to Spain as the most expensive footballer in history. When he appeared before the media accompanied by the Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez he sported a haircut that he would never have allowed himself before when, self-conscious, he always wore his hair long, trying in vain to hide ears that embarrassed him.
  • Cristiano Ronaldo. It makes sense: omnipresent in the media, they know that if they improve their appearance they improve their market value, and their self-esteem. Who could resist the temptation?

Otoplasty

The otoplasty is a short (it lasts about an hour) and simple procedure. After 24 hours we remove the bandage and a couple of days later the patient can resume their normal life, taking, of course, the appropriate precautions.
