My ear is pointy, is this fixable? (Photo)

Question

Hi, every since I was born, one of my ears has a point part sticking out.Its not very big but I hate it. is this easily fixable? would this be local or general anaesthetic?

Alejandro Nogueira, MD · Answer

Is the name of your condition, also a little chondrodermatitis nodularis might have increased such prominence.Can be fixed with very easy outpatient procedure.

Stephen Weber MD, FACS · Answer

Yes, this can be improved. A small incision would be placed on the back of the ear, where it is well camouflaged. The prominent cartilage could then be reduced to create a more natural contour. This procedure can be performed under local anesthesia in the office and should require under 30 minutes. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Hello,Yes, your ear is fixable. You have a mild cartilage deformity and this can be corrected with a small procedure performed with local anaesthesia. Hope this helps.
