Ear Surgery

Ear surgery (or otoplasty) is most commonly used to improve the shape, size or position of the ears to achieve proportional balance with the face. Ear surgery can address defects that were present at birth and became more apparent during development as well as defects that were caused by trauma.

Concerns ear surgery can address

  • My ears are too big
  • My ears stick out
  • One ear is lower than the other
  • Defects caused by trauma

Considerations

  • Sometimes covered by insurance if considered medically necessary.
  • Correction of even minor deformities can improve confidence and self esteem.
