Otoplasty or ear surgery is correction of the prominent ears either by birth or become more noticeable with the growth of the individuals.

There are many reasons why the ear are prominent or stuck out .It depends upon how different parts of ear are formed during development. A part of the ear can be less developed while the other part of the ear is fully developed to its normal size. It is this non-harmonious development of the different parts of the ear that one notices the prominent ear and seeks for the treatment.

We perform ear cosmetic surgery as soon as the child’s ear cartilage is strong enough for correction, which is after the age of 5 years. But this may vary from one individual to another. All adults who are healthy and have realistic goals are suitable enough to go for ear surgery.
