What Is Otoplasty?

Otoplasty is a cosmetic ear surgery that reshapes, repositions, or resizes the ears to achieve a more proportionate and symmetrical appearance. The procedure is commonly performed on both children (ages 5+) and adults.

Common Otoplasty Corrections

• Prominent Ears: Ears that stick out significantly can be pinned back closer to the head.
• Asymmetrical Ears: Reshaping and resizing one or both ears for a balanced look.
• Ear Deformities: Correcting irregular shapes caused by genetics or injury.
• Large Earlobes: Reducing oversized earlobes for a refined appearance.

Who Is a Candidate for Otoplasty?.

You may be a good candidate if: ✔ Your ears stick out prominently or are asymmetrical. ✔ You are self-conscious about the size or shape of your ears. ✔ You are in good overall health and have realistic expectations. ✔ Children (ages 5+) can also undergo the procedure when ear cartilage is fully developed.
