Reduce the prominence of your ears
Ear surgery (otoplasty) is used to reduce an ear prominence. Ears are either brought closer to the head or reduced in size. This procedure can also be used to remove asymmetry.
Ear surgery is often carried out early in life, from four onwards, as it can improve a child’s social experience. The operation can also be carried out in later life if not done earlier.
Otoplasty typically lasts between two and three hours.
The reshaping and positioning of the ear is created by removal and sculpting of cartilage within the ear or by the use of stitches to reshape the existing cartilage. The desired final shape of the ear determines where incisions and work on the cartilage are carried out.
Normal activities can be resumed within a week with strenuous activity possible within one or two months.
Risks with this procedure are low. Clots are an infrequent occurrence and usually easily corrected. Infection is possible but again usually mild and easily treated.
