However, like every surgical procedure, cosmetic ear surgery involves risks. The chances of experiencing complications during this treatment, or as a result of it, are usually minimal. However, it is important to have an understanding of the problems that occur, and to discuss them with your surgeon before committing to otoplasty.

of course there are! but ive read that there are two types of otoplaty for children-- for 6 months and younger, its called ear splitting and for 6 months older, I think that they do the normal otoplasty procedure. But don't take my word for it, research on the Internet and ask your surgeon once you found one, ok?
