Ear Correction

Correcting the ear shape

Most of the patients are generally children between the ages of four and fourteen. By the age of four, ears are almost fully grown, and the earlier the surgery, the less teasing and embarrassment the child will have to face. Nonetheless, some patients chose to have ear surgery during their adulthood, at no additional risks associated with the procedure.

Addressing other problems

Otoplasty does not only treat the protruding ears, but a variety of other ear problems such as:

• "Lop ear", when the tip appear to fold down and forward;
• "Cupped ear", which is usually a very small ear;
• "Shell ear", when the curve in the outer rim, as well as the natural folds and creases are missing.

Additionally, surgery can also improve large or stretched earlobes, or lobes with large creases and wrinkles. Given the latest developments in cosmetic surgery techniques, today surgeons can even build new ears for those who were born without them or who lost them through injury.

Usually the results of otoplasty are permanent, giving more natural-looking ears.

Your corrected features will be a real confidence booster, but keep in mind that the goal is improvement, not life-changing.
