Otoplasty

Otoplasty, also known as cosmetic ear surgery, is a procedure to change the shape, position, or size of the ears.

You may choose to undergo otoplasty if you are bothered by how much your ears protrude from your head. You may also consider otoplasty if your ear or ears are misshapen due to an injury or birth defect.

Otoplasty can be performed at any age after the ears have reached their full size – usually after age 5 – until adulthood.

After removing the bandages, you will notice an immediate change in the appearance of your ears. These changes are permanent.
