Otoplasty

Ear surgery, also known as otoplasty, can improve the shape, position, or proportion of the ear. If there is a congenital or developmental problem in the ear structure, it can be corrected with otoplasty.

Otoplasty creates a more natural shape while bringing balance to the ears and face. Correcting even minor deformities can have profound benefits to appearance and self-confidence. If protruding or deformed ears bother you or your child, surgery may be considered.

Who is a candidate for ear surgery?

• Extremely large ears - a condition called macrotia
• Protruding ears occurring on one or both sides to varying degrees.
• People who are healthy, without a life-threatening illness or untreated chronic ear infection
• Healthy individuals who do not have a life-threatening illness or medical condition that would prevent recovery
• People with a positive outlook and specific goals for ear surgery
