My ears have always been a bother and also a subject to bullying. I hate how they stick out. I want my parents to get me otoplasty but they say it's too pricey and i will outgrow my ears. I am currently 14 years old.
Answer: How Much Would It Cost to Fix my Ears Closer to my Head I am sorry to hear about the problems the prominent ears have caused. Otoplasty surgery is a great operation which serves to set back the ears. In most cases, one of two (sometimes both) maneuvers serves to set back the prominent ears: 1. Set back of a prominent "concha" cartilage utilizing permanent sutures may be very helpful. 2. Development of a "anti-helical fold" may be helpful when it comes to set back of a prominent ear. When it comes to cost of otoplasty surgery, there may be many “variables” involved. The specific surgeon's credentials/experience level (or lack thereof), the specific geographic area you are looking at, the different operations available, the location of the procedure (quality of surgery facility), type/quality of anesthesia provider... are some of the potential variables involved. You will find average costs of surgery listed on this website, and on individual plastic surgeon's websites as well. In regards to outcome of the planned procedure, more important than costs of the procedures will be careful selection of your plastic surgeon. I would suggest starting with the American Society of Plastic Surgery and/or the Aesthetic Society of Plastic Surgery to obtain a list of well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons. **Ask to SEE lots of examples of their work AND preferably speak/see patients who have had similar procedures done. You may find the attached link, dedicated to otoplasty surgery concerns, helpful to you as you learn more. Best wishes.

Answer: Cost of an otoplasty
The cost of an otoplasty is $4200 under local anesthesia. Please add an additional 600 dollars for general anesthesia. The procedure takes approximately one hour to perform as an outpatient procedure, and expect to wear headband at night for the first 2 weeks after the otoplasty. The ears will be bruised and swollen for approximately 10 days after the procedure

Answer: How Much Would It Cost to Fix my Ears Closer to my Head, Nothing Else?
Otoplasty to set the ears back may cost $5000 or so. Usually, this can be done under local anesthesia. You will need your parent's permission. Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of facial and ear correction surgeries each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
