my ten year old child's ears stick out, and i was just wondering if otoplasty can be performed on her at his age?
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.
Had otoplasty performed, hoping to correct my protruding ears. After the procedure, my ears now have a "telephone" look, in which the middle portion is pinned, but the top and bottom portions are still stuck out. It has only been 3 days post-op, and my doctor says the "C" look will correct itself as the ears "spring" back out a few milimeters...but from what I read online on one post, most who receive this look immediately post-op, will have it stick with them for the most part.
I agree with the panel-wait until all the swelling is resolved. Then re-asses. Even if you do have a Telephone deformity, it should be relatively easy to correct.
Best of luck,

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.
