Ear Correction in New York

Ear surgery or otoplasty is typically performed to serve two functions: setting protruding ears back closer to the head, and reducing the size of overly large ears. Ear surgery may also be helpful for shell ears, lop ears, cupped ears, large or stretched earlobes, and lobes with noticeable irregularities. Plastic surgery is also able to construct new ears for patients who are missing them from injury or other causes.

Ear surgery is performed once the patients ears have fully developed occurring around 5-6 years of age to prevent traumatic teasing and negative self-image that may result. However, this procedure can be performed on adults of any age who are bothered by their protruding, over-sized, asymmetrical or irregular ear shape.

Otoplasty is done to correct protruding ears. It happens to be one of the few cosmetic surgeries performed on children, usually prior to beginning elementary school.

Ear surgery is a viable option for many patients, though many of them are unaware it exists until they learn more information from their doctor. For both men and women, ear surgery can provide much-needed cosmetic correction and increased self-confidence to those bothered by the size, shape or prominence of their ears or earlobes.
