Ear Correction (Otoplasty)

Ear surgery — also known as otoplasty — can improve the shape, position or proportion of the ear. It can correct a defect in the ear structure that is present at birth that becomes apparent with development or it can treat misshapen ears caused by injury.

Ear surgery creates a natural shape, while bringing balance and proportion to the ears and face. Correction of even minor deformities can have profound beneﬁts to appearance and self-esteem.

Specifically ear surgery can treat:

§Overly large ears — a rare condition called macrotia

§Protruding ears occurring on one or both sides in varying degrees — not associated with hearing loss

§Adult dissatisfaction with previous ear surgery
