What is Ear Surgery?

Ear surgery, also known as otoplasty, can improve the shape, position or proportion of the ear. A defect in the ear structure that is present at birth or that becomes apparent with development can be corrected by otoplasty. This procedure can also treat misshapen ears caused by injury.

Otoplasty creates a more natural shape while bringing balance and proportion to the ears and face. Correction of even minor deformities can have profound benefits to appearance and self-esteem. If protruding or disfigured ears bother you or your child, you may consider plastic surgery.

Endoscopic Surgery

  • Overly large ears – a condition called macrotia
  • Protruding ears occurring on one or both sides in varying degrees – not associated with hearing loss
  • Adult dissatisfaction with previous ear surgery

Who is a good candidate for ear surgery?

  • Healthy, without a life-threatening illness or untreated chronic ear infections
  • Generally 5 years old, or when a child’s ear cartilage is stable enough for correction
  • Cooperative and follow instructions well
  • Able to communicate their feelings and do not voice objections when surgery is discussed
  • Healthy individuals who do not have a life-threatening illness or medical conditions that can impair healing
  • Individuals with a positive outlook and specific goals in mind for ear surgery

Frequently Asked Questions

Ear surgery (otoplasty) can treat prominent ears, overly large ears (macrotia), ear deformities due to congenital conditions like microtia, trauma-related ear damage, or dissatisfaction with previous ear surgeries.

Yes, ear surgery is generally a safe and well-tolerated procedure when performed by an experienced surgeon. As with any surgery, there are risks, but complications are rare and usually minor.

Most patients recover from ear surgery within 1–2 weeks. A protective dressing or headband is typically worn for the first few days, and normal activities can usually be resumed soon after with minimal discomfort.

Ear surgery incisions are usually made behind the ear or within natural creases, making any scarring minimal and well-concealed.

Anyone with prominent, misshapen, or damaged ears who is in good general health may be a candidate. Children as young as 5 or 6 are also eligible if the ears have fully developed.
