Yes, a plastic surgery that divides the tongue into two parts and turns it into a fork is very popular among young people in the United States and the western world. This has aroused the concern of people concerned-since ancient times, people have had the habit of wearing earrings while piercing their ears, and we have become accustomed to wearing earrings on our nose, tongue or navel. In recent years, young people in the United States and even the West have begun to transfer beauty to their tongues. They split their tongues in two and turned them into forks. Although this kind of tongue-splitting plastic surgery has not been popularized, it has shown a gradual development trend. In this regard, some people disagree that it is harmful to the health, and legislators in Illinois, USA, also intend to enact a bill prohibiting tongue bifurcation. Once the bill is approved by the United States Senate, the fork tongue will be declared illegal. "The most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life." Those who have had tongue bifurcation surgery call it plastic surgery and think it has a particularly attractive charm. Some people do this operation just to achieve shocking results; Some people regard this experience as a spiritual need; More people admit that they do it just for fun and love. "When I first saw it, I thought that this tongue-crossing technique may be the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life." 19-year-old boy james keane said. After the plastic surgeon refused his request, he turned to a local person, who specially pierced his body in June 5438+February last year to help him cut his tongue. Keane is still a little inarticulate. He said that most people don't know that he has a forked tongue unless he opens his mouth to show them. When he shows his forked tongue, people can see that the two tongues can move independently like forks. He said kissing was great. Keane said that his parents not only did not object, but also blessed him. The operation of tongue splitting cost him a full $500. He said that the bifurcation operation was completed in three steps, using a scalpel heated on a torch, without anesthetic. It is suggested that legislation should be made to prohibit tongue splitting. Keane's story was the original intention of Illinois Rep. david miller to introduce the bill. The bill requires that tongue splitting surgery can only be performed for medical reasons and only by authoritative doctors or dentists. Miller himself is a dentist. The bill was passed in the Illinois legislature and is currently awaiting approval by the Senate. Miller said that this is mainly because people may be infected with bacteria due to tongue splitting surgery, which will bring life-threatening problems. He also said that people after surgery may be affected when they talk or eat. Miller said that he understood the definition of individual freedom. "But I'm not sure whether people who do this kind of plastic surgery fully understand the danger. On the issue of beauty, we should try our best to choose safety. " Since the beginning of this year, several services of the US military have banned tongue splitting. An officer at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in North Carolina revealed that in February this year, an air force member who had a forked tongue had another operation to sew the forked tongue together to avoid being expelled from the army. Essy Hakim, a 30-year-old from new york, had her tongue cut by a plastic surgeon at 1998. She said she didn't have to learn how to speak. Besides, she likes the process. She said she knew what problems she would encounter. "I'm an adult, and I just made a decision that won't hurt anyone. I won't hurt myself. " Hakim said. She thinks that piercing and tongue cutting are no different from plastic surgery. She said that all outsiders saw was beauty. She and some people think that once the Illinois bill is passed, it will do more harm than good, and it will make it more difficult for people to let those who are really qualified-doctors perform the operation. This law will make many people go to "underground" plastic surgery shops and undergo this operation in an unsafe environment. "This means that only hackers (unruly people) will have the opportunity to do this." Laratte said. He is now the editor of a plastic surgery website. Laratte estimates that about 2,000 people in the western world have had tongue segmentation surgery.
