Prominent Ear Correction

(Otoplasty/Pinnaplasty)

This is a procedure where a well-hidden cut is made behind the ear, and the ear is reshaped in order to alter the appearance.

This procedure is done for people with ears that are very prominent, and also for asymmetry of the ears.

Abnormal appearances of the ear in which parts of the ear are missing due to for example trauma or failure of the ears to develop properly.
