Prominent Ear Correction (Otoplasty)
Correction of “prominent ear deformity” is considered to be an important procedure to build (during childhood) and restore (during adolescence or adulthood) self-confidence which is a vital step to establish a healthy relationship with the community.
The correction of prominent ears (also called as “Otoplasty”) is performed by a small incision behind the ears and by correcting and restoring the shape of the folds of cartilages with permanent stitches.
Unless the patients have cartilage deficiency, very satisfying results are achieved.
