How much would it cost to remove extra skin from in front of an ear. (photo)

Actually, you have accessory cartilage in front of the ear, which is pretty simple to remove.  It will probably cost about $750, assuming it is just the one side.

Costs will vary considerably across states and even in the same area. You are probably looking at a range of $500 to $1500 depending on the area you live and whether it is on both sides or just the one. Insurance may be able to reimburse or cover a portion of the procedure.

This is a congenital branchial cyst. May be covered by insurance. Call a Craniofacial plastic surgeon in your area for consultation.
