I Was Wondering if There Were Any Cosmetic Procedures That Could Be Done to Lift the Placement of my Ears on my Head?

Looking straight on, the tops of my ears end below my eyes & the lobes end at about where the creases of my mouth are. I know there are corrective surgeries for low set ears, but after researching, i don't think i have that. Also my ears have pretty normal folds and are actually about average size so I don't think it is a problem with them being too small. This is a problem for me because the distance from the top of my ears to my forehead line is great so it looks like I have a big forehead.

A: lifting or changing the location of ears

Minor shifts of ear locations can be done , but unfortunately such movements are limited to a centimeter or less due to the fact that they must remain centered over the ear canal. Obviously the ear canal can not be moved. If you only need a minor shifting then I would recommend getting a consult from a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck.

Can Otoplasty Be Performed on a 10-Year-Old Child?

my ten year old child's ears stick out, and i was just wondering if otoplasty can be performed on her at his age?

A: otoplasty is safe

Otoplasty can definitely be done on a 10 year old and as early as 5 or 6.  It is important that your child follows the post-operative instructions to avoid injury or complications, thus 10 is a good age.

A: Otoplasty

If your child is age 10 years then an Otoplasty if needed is appropriate. At age 6 it is frequently done because the ear is nearly adult size.
