What is Prominent Ears?

Enhancing your appearance with ear surgery If protruding or disfigured ears bother you or your child, you may consider plastic surgery. Ear surgery also known as otoplasty can improve the shape, position or proportion of the ear. It can correct a defect in the ear structure that is present at birth that becomes apparent with development or it can treat misshapen ears caused by injury. Ear surgery creates a natural shape, while bringing balance and proportion to the ears and face. Correction of even minor deformities can have profound benefits to appearance and self-esteem.

1.Overly large ears -- a rare condition called macrotia
2.Protruding ears occurring on one or both sides in varying degrees -- not associated with hearing loss
3.Adult dissatisfaction with previous ear surgery
