Otoplasty (also known as cosmetic ear surgery) is an operation to change the shape, posture or size of the ear. If you are bored with the auricle, you can choose to have an otoplasty to reduce its patency or to correct the congenital defect or for deformities caused by injury.
Who Can Have Prominent Ear Surgery?
- Otoplasty can be performed at any age, as soon as the ears reach their true size.
- Otoplasty is normally performed after the age of 5 years. But in some cases, it can be done when the patient is 3 years old.
