Ear surgery, or otoplasty, improves the shape, position and proportion of the ear.

Ear surgery can improve a defect in the ear structure that is present at birth or that becomes apparent with development. This procedure can also treat misshapen ears caused by injury.

Otoplasty creates a more natural shape while bringing balance and proportion to the ears and face. Correction of even minor deformities can have profound benefits to appearance and self-esteem. If protruding or disfigured ears bother you or your child, you may consider plastic surgery.

Ear surgery treat

• Overly large ears – a condition called macrotia

• Protruding ears occurring on one or both sides in varying degrees – not associated with hearing loss

• Adult dissatisfaction with previous ear surgery

Ear surgery is a highly individualized procedure and you should do it for yourself, not to fulfill someone else's desires or to try to fit any sort of ideal image.
