Otoplasty or cosmetic ear surgery is intended to change the appearance of the external portion of your ears. Ear plastic surgery can reposition excessively protruding ears, reduce the size of very large ears or reshape bends in cartilage. Ear surgery is appropriate for patients aged 5-6 and up. Your ear is composed of a thin cartilage cover with a thin layer of skin. During your ear surgery, one or more incisions are made behind the ear to give access to your ear cartilage. Through this incision your ear can be manipulated and sculpted to meet your desires; smaller, closer, and proportional.
