Ears
Otoplasty, or protruding ear surgery, is a procedure designed to restore facial harmony by correcting protruding ears.
Protruding ears are typically associated with three common malformations:
A rippling defect of the cartilage (the anthelix) resulting in a lack of contour.
Hypertrophy of the cartilage (the concha) that enhances ear projection.
An excessively large retro-auricular angle.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, allowing the surgeon to quickly correct these defects with minimal scarring.
It can be safely performed from the age of six.
Additionally, earlobe correction surgery can repair a torn earlobe or congenital deformity, improving both the ear’s appearance and the overall balance of the face. This type of surgery is well-established, and the results are highly satisfying.
