Ear Surgery

If you or your child is self-conscious about the size or appearance of your ears, you needn’t be. Ear pinning is a simple, effective procedure that can be performed on children as young as four years old. This procedure can restore your self-confidence — or spare your child years of taunting.

Ear surgery, or otoplasty, is usually done to set prominent ears back closer to the head or to reduce the size of large ears. For the most part, the operation is performed on children between the ages of four and 14. Ears are almost fully grown by age four, and the earlier the surgery, the less teasing and ridicule the child will have to endure.

Ear surgery on adults is also effective, and there are generally no additional risks associated with ear surgery on an older patient.
