Would you recommend otoplasty at age 54?

This is totally fine - there is no contraindication, higher risk of issues or complications. Although the majority of patients commit to otoplasty at an earlier age, you would be an equally good candidate. 

It is very safe to undergo otoplasty in middle age.  Any individual who does not have any significant medical problems can undergo the procedure in a very safe fashion.  It can be done with only local anesthesia, mild sedation or general anesthesia.Regards

If you are in good health there is no reason not to proceed with an otoplasty at any age. The only way to know for sure if you are a good candidate is to book a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to see what your options are. Best of luck! 

There are no age requirements for otoplasty. Ear reconstructive surgery is performed on infants to elders.As long as there is no medical contraindication to surgery an otoplasty can be performed (usually under local anesthesia).Please use this information when consulting in person with an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.

Otoplasty can be done at any age (after 5 years old), as long as you do not have any medical contraindications. 

Dear Cherrysky,With hesitation i perfomed an an otoplasty on a 70+ years old gentleman, who turned out to be one my happiest patients !!best wishesJ TaheryOtolaryngologist /Facial Plastic SurgeonChesterUK

53 is not an unreasonable age to have an otoplasty.  Unless you are a smoker, blood supply should be very good. The cartilages should curve nicely at this age. The link I have attached is of a woman in her 50's.

Hello and thank you for your questionSurgically there is no reason you should not consider having an Otoplasty. The factors in helping me determine if you are suitable for this surgery are the same for you or any other patient.In my practice, patients from quite young all the way through to more senior than yourself choose to have their ears pinned back. In my experience, your maturity is a plus in helping you make sensible decisions and setting realistic expectations.I hope this has been of value and wish you well with your decision.
