Ear surgery or otoplasty is usually performed to set prominent ears back closer to the head or to reduce the size of large ears. Mainly a procedure performed on children ages 4 to 14; this surgery can also be done on adults. If you feel self-conscious about your ears and want to improve your self image then this procedure may be a possibility for you to get that look you have always wanted.

The Procedure
The surgery takes approximately two to three hours. In this time period, an incision is made in the back of the ear so that cartilage can be sculpted or folded. Stitches are then used to close up the incision and help to maintain the new shape of the ear. Creating a fold in the cartilage of the ear makes the ear lie flatter to the head and possess a more normal appearance.
