Prominent ears, enlarged earlobes and earlobes that have become misshapen due to the effects of earrings are common complaints.  Also known as otoplasty, surgery of the ear improves the appearance, shape and prominence of your ear.

What can surgery of the ear accomplish?

Otoplasty can change:

• Ear size, in relation to other facial structures 

• Ear prominence (the amount that it protrudes from the head)

• Earlobe shape and size

Is it right for me?

Ear surgery is a highly individualized procedure and you should do it for yourself, not to fulfill someone else’s desires or to try to fit any sort of ideal image. Surgery of the ear is a good option for you if:

• Your facial growth is complete and you are 13 years of age or older
• You are physically healthy
• You stop smoking
• You have specific, but realistic goals in mind for the improvement of your appearance
