EAR SURGERY

Aesthetic surgery of the ear, also known as otoplasty, is a procedure that modifies the position, size, and proportions of the ears. Ear pinning is the most common procedure. It can be carried out to bring the ears closer to the head, decreasing excess visibility from the front and back.

Nevertheless, the results of ear reshaping surgery can vary depending on the modifications or changes desired. We typically see improved self-confidence, especially in children and teenagers. Otoplasty can be done at any age after the ears have reached their full size — usually after age 5. We have seen that surgery helps with self-consciousness, self-image problems, and decreases bullying.

There are some limitations with surgery. For instance, if one of the ears is set higher or lower than the other one, this typically cannot be improved with surgery. If you desire more symmetrical ears, keep in mind that everyone’s face is asymmetric to some degree. To acquire perfect symmetry between both ears after surgery in terms of how the ears stick out is difficult. Not uncommonly, a difference of 1-1.5 mm between both ears is not noticeable.  Unfortunately, otoplasty results cannot be 100% predictable, and changes can occur over time given that human tissues are dynamic and there are many intrinsic (e.g., cartilage memory, scarring forces) and extrinsic forces (e.g., gravity) that can alter the results. While the goal is to improve facial balance and proportions, results from surgery may not be completely symmetric. In summary, if you are looking for perfection, you may have unrealistic expectations from the surgery, and there will be a high chance of dissatisfaction. A personal consultation will determine what is best for you.

Your ears protrude or stick out prominently away from the face. Your ears are disproportionate to the size of your head. You or your loved one has self-image or self-esteem problems from your ear shape or position that would possibly get better from some ear reshaping or pinning.
