A young man in eastern China is having plastic surgery to make his ears look like an alien's, a news report said Friday.

The man from Nanjing, Jiangsu province, went to doctors saying he was unhappy with the shape of his ears and wanted pointy ears like a creature from another planet.

He may not have asked for them by name but he will now have ears like those of pointy-eared Star Trek character Mr Spock.

Doctors tried to talk him out of the idea but he insisted on going ahead with the plastic surgery, according to the Hong Kong edition of the China Daily newspaper.
