About Ear Surgery
Ear cosmetic surgery aims to modify the shape, size, or position of the ear, particularly in cases of protruding ears or asymmetry between the two sides.
The procedure may involve reshaping the ear cartilage and securing it in a more proportionate position relative to the head.
Incisions are typically placed behind the ear so they remain as discreet as possible, and their appearance improves gradually over time.
Who is a Candidate?
The procedure can be performed on children after the ear cartilage reaches a suitable stage of growth, typically from around age five.
It can also be performed on adolescents and adults following evaluation and determination of the appropriate plan.
Recovery
The patient initially needs to wear a bandage or dressing to support the new shape.
Return to activities is gradual according to the doctor's instructions, while the result becomes clear after removing the dressings.
