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 done 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 possible, and there are generally
no additional risks associated with ear surgery on an
older patient.
You
