Question

I have extra skin infrint of my ear coming out. I had it since I was born

Ronald J. Edelson, MD · Answer

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.

Kris M. Reddy, MD, FACS · Answer

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.

Ron Hazani, MD, FACS · Answer

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