Otoplasty

What is Otoplasty?

Many children and adults suffer embarrassment from prominent ears. As ear growth achieves almost adult size by early school age the prominent ear deformity appears more obvious.

In children mild cases may be concealed by longer hair until the child has fully developed and a decision regarding surgery can been taken. If, however, the deformity is obvious, it may be kinder to carry out corrective surgery at an earlier age. The ears attain 80% of their final size by the age of 5 or 6 and it is therefore safe to carry out the correction from that age onwards.

This is equally a common operation requested by adults who did not have surgery during childhood. The surgery is as straight forward for adults as it is in children.
