Can an otoplasty be covered under insurance? (photos)

Otoplasty is sometimes covered when done in children  as it is considered a congenital deformity.  As an adult, it is considered to be cosmetic.

There is no medical necessity for cosmetic surgery to pin the ears back, so plan on paying for the procedure yourself, since it is cosmetic

From your photos it appears you have prominent ear with deep concha.  Unfortunately, health insurance companies do not consider this situation a deformity and will not cover the procedure to set the ears back.  Prominent ears are a common problem that  plastic surgeons routinely correct with a surgery which could be performed under local anesthesia.  The procedure takes about 90 minutes to perform.  There are companies which can help provide financing for the procedure in patients who qualify.  Seek out a board certified plastic surgeon who routinely preforms otoplasty procedures.  Best wishes, Dr. Lepore.
