The Shocking Story of a Woman Who Transformed Herself into a Giraffe!
The Art of Neck Elongation
Neck rings are more than just adornments; they’re tools for permanent bone distortion. This process is most effective in youth, when bones are still malleable. The Kayan Padaung community begins the practice with their daughters around the age of five. These rings exert constant pressure, gradually reshaping the skeleton.
The result is a visual elongation of the neck, achieved by compressing the collar bones and ribs. This manipulation creates a 45-degree twist in the bones, more pronounced than the natural alignment. The appearance of an elongated neck is enhanced as the bones settle lower than their original position, thereby increasing the space between each vertebra.
