Gaby D. Doumit, MD · Answer

Dear Michelle   Otoplasty are known to have a recurrence in the order for about 5%.Most otoplasties are usually performed by plastic surgeons. However, there is some ENT doctors that perform otoplasty. If your ENT doctor does not perform a lot, I will advice to seek some one else. However, if he has a large experience and you get along with, you can go back to see him. Good luck
