The aim of otoplasty
is to improve the contour and shape of the ear. Protruding
ears can be a source of embarrassment and self-consciousness
for children and adults alike. Ear reshaping is a very
straightforward procedure. Patients are usually between
the ages of four and fourteen however ear-surgery on
adults is also available.
“My ears are
too large” – many cosmetic surgeons hear
this during patient consultations and what people do
not realise is that the problem is not necessarily the
size of the ears but that they may stick out too far.
In most cases pinning the ears alongside the head solves
the problem completely.

Persons seek ear reshaping to improve upon a perceived
imperfection and these imperfections can often cause
a psychological impact. The visual improvements following
Otoplasty can often make the final result very rewarding.
It is a concern for children as well as adults. Ears
that stick out make people easy targets for teasing,
jokes and nicknames. This is why often the sooner in
life it is carried out, the better. The procedure can
be carried out from an early an age as 4 or 5 years.
The procedure offers dramatic, immediate results that
will last a lifetime.
