Prominent Ear Surgery (Otoplasty)
What Is It?
Otoplasty (prominent ear surgery) is a cosmetic surgical procedure performed to correct ears that protrude excessively from the head. The ear cartilage is reshaped to achieve a more natural appearance and a position closer to the head.
Surgery Duration and Type of Anesthesia
The surgery usually takes 1–1.5 hours. In adults, it can be performed under local anesthesia, while in children, general anesthesia is most often preferred.
Why Is This Surgery Preferred?
Prominent ears can cause psychological distress and self-confidence issues, especially during childhood. This surgery provides a more aesthetic and symmetrical ear shape.
