Ear Correction

What is Ear correction surgery?

Otoplasty, or ear correction surgery, can enhance the form, location, or proportion of the ear. Otoplasty can fix an ear structural deficiency that is present at birth or becomes obvious throughout growth. This treatment can also be used to repair misaligned ears caused by trauma. Ear correction surgery is a cosmetic procedure used to change the size or form of the ears, or to pin them back if they protrude. Ear correction is generally safe, and most patients are pleased with the outcomes. However, there are risks to consider, and it might be costly.

Otoplasty or pinnaplasty is the procedure of pinning back the ears. It is primarily performed on children and early teens, although adults can also be subjected to it. Ear pinning surgery is not appropriate for children under the age of five since their ears are still developing. The ear cartilage is too fragile at this age to retain the sutures.

Otoplasty restores harmony and symmetry to the ears and face by shaping them more naturally. Even small defects can have a significant impact on looks and self-esteem. If you or your kid are bothered by bulging or disfigured ears, you may want to explore cosmetic surgery.
