Ear Surgery

Plastic Surgery can correct ears that are prominent and stick out.

This can be a real problem especially for children, as it makes them an easy target for teasing, jokes and derogatory nicknames. That's why the sooner in life this problem can be corrected the better. It can be done as early as age four or five and, of course at any time for adults.

Procedure and Recovery

  • The cartilage behind the ear is reshaped to pull it back flat against the head
  • The procedure takes about two hours
  • You may return home later the same day
  • Discomfort is minimal
  • Scarring is hidden in the fold behind the ear
  • The head bandage and sutures are removed after seven to ten days
  • You can return to work/school after the bandage has been removed
