Ear Correction or Otoplasty is a procedure used to
reduce large or protruding ears by setting the ears
back closer to the head as well as molding, shaping
and/or removing cartilage.
This procedure can be performed at any age after the
ears have reached (or nearly reached) their full size,
which is around 5 to 6 years of age. This surgery
is most often performed on children between the ages
of 5 and 14.
If you're considering otoplasty, the following information
will provide you with a good introduction to the procedure.
Otoplasty can dramatically change a person’s appearance
simply by making protruding ears look more normal.
Often the problem is caused by an undeveloped middle
fold of the ear. There may be other deformities as
well, making it necessary to perform several procedures
on the ear at the same time. Otoplasty can reshape
the ears, reduce their size, make them more symmetrical,
and/or position them closer to the head.
