Does it bug you if people stare at you? I always end up staring at handicapped people without meaning to, and feeling bad about it. Meh. Is that overly sensitive?

Jaw is kinda turned to the right (well actually getting surgery done to correct that) And I used to have no ears, but I've gone through 6 Reconstructive surgery for my ears.

Yes it bothers me to a point, but I usually ignore it.

Inner Outer ear problems, I have a hearing aid for that. Also leg braces comes into the picture here.

Staring doesn't mean I think you're weird for being different, it means I .. eh.. am an overly curious, annoying kid. lol.

How can they reconstruct something that wasn't there to begin with? Or did they somehow grow a pair in a petrydish? (I dunno if thats possible yet)

No, but my mom used to work at a Hospital as a nurse and she was around X-ray machines when she was pregent with me. As of right now I'm going to blame the X-ray machines.

Reconstructive surgery can be done with flesh from other parts of the body, combined with synthetic prostheses.

We were kinda confused about that too. I guess it affects all parts of the body.
