| For children or adults
who have large or protruding ears, otoplasty
is done to reduce the size or set the ears
back closer to the head. The appearance
of the ears can be a source of ridicule
and a cause of low self-esteem.
The procedure can be of benefit to any
person who is bothered by the appearance
of his/her ears. Cartilage can be removed
or reshaped
as necessary for the anticipated aesthetic
improvement. This surgery lasts approximately
1 ½ hours.
