If your ears stick out based on the view you have submitted yes conchal bowl reduction would be indicated because you have a well formed antihelical fold. If the ears do not stick out too much you need nothing.
Otoplasty is a general term for ear shaping. The chonchal bowl is the cup part of the ear. It is rarely actually too large and more often comes of the head at angle to make it look prominent. Many otoplasty techniques use a choncal bowl set back in which the bowl is not cut out, but settled into a nest on the side of the head. It is usually safe and effective.
It would be really helpful to see a photo of your front view to determine how much your ears do stick out. Conchal setback or conchal reduction is very helpful in cases where a deep conchal bowl causes the entire ear to protrude away form the head. If your ears are not prominent a conchal reduction would not be helpful for you. This procedure mainly places the ear closer to the head but does not change the actual size of the bowl, itself. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Thanks for the question. 85% of the ear development is completed at the age of 3 and 93% at the age of 10. Because of that, this process can be carried out in the preschool period without the child having a social trauma. I wish you all the best.
You pose some good questions, Mom. Facial asymmetry (as well as asymmetry throughout the body) is common--the two sides of the face and body are like sisters, and not twins. Without examining your child, I would propose that 4mm is not a significant difference between ear sizes, and...
The goal of an otoplasty procedure is for a harmonious improvement of the projection and shape of the ear. This includes the earlobe. The earlobe can easily be set back at the same time as the rest of the otoplasty procedure.
Your questions can’t be answered without seeing photos of your ears. Generally, it can be said that the final assessment of your ears is first possible 3 months after the operation at the earliest, but 6 months would be better still. A complete symmetry of the ears is the exception; a slight a...
