    If you're considering ear surgery...
    Ear surgery, or otoplasty, is usually done to set prominent ears back closer to the head or to reduce the size of large ears.

    Otoplasty Patient Before Plastic Surgery

    Ears that appear to stick out or are
    overly large can be helped by ear surgery.
    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.

    If you're considering ear surgery for yourself or your child, this information will give you a basic understanding of the procedure-when it can help, how it's performed, and what results you can expect. It can't answer all of your questions, since a lot depends on your individual circumstances. Please be sure to ask your doctor if there is anything you don't understand about the procedure.
