Which otoplasty technique is best to treat my prominent ears? (Photo)

Asked By:12345666666 in Montreal, QC

From research on this topic, i learned that 2 methods are used for prominent ears (stitch method,removal of cartilage method and combination of both). I went to see a surgeon and he said that he is going to stitch my ears, but I don't know if that's the right technique for my ears or if that's the only technique he does. I want advice from doctors on this site. In my opinion i think i have excess cartilage and removal would be better. I would like natural looking ears and long lasting results.
