Otoplasty - Reshaping of the Ear
Protruding ears can be a source of social embarrassment. We can easily correct this problem through performing an incision behind the ears and creating a more aesthetically pleasing look.
The procedure to reduce excessive ear prominence or reshape portions of the ear is called otoplasty. Excessive prominence or deformities of the ear can detract from the overall aesthetic balance of the face and severely restrict hairstyle options.
Excessive prominence of the ears or other undesirable shape characteristics usually occurs during ear development, or occasionally with growth.
Otoplasty procedures reshape deformities of the cartilage framework of the ear where deformities exist, re-drape the skin over the re-shaped framework, and position the ear in a more pleasing balance with the head and face.
If the earlobes are excessively large, they can also be corrected during otoplasty
