Hi I would like to know if my conchal bowl will need to be cut at all and if so will I end up with natural looking ears? Is that all that is required to fix my ears? Thank you

Answer: Otoplasty options Jason, That is a good question, the best otoplasty technique differs for each patient. It appears from the pictures (in person exam needed to say for sure) that you have both a weak antithelical fold and excess concha. Both of these can frequently be addressed with suture techniques, but it is possible that a small piece of cartilage needs to be removed in some cases. This is often not known until repositioning the ear during the operation. When done well the results look like very natural ears. Good luck.
