I was wondering if my ears were too big for my face - disproportionate or not?

Question

Person in my neighborhood claims my ears are too big for my face. Is this true...not something I ever considered

Leila Kasrai, MD, FRCSC · Answer

What your neighbour thinks is not important. If you have never thought your ears were too big for your face, then don’t let someone else put that into your head.

Bahman Guyuron, MD · Answer

Any prominent or uneven pair of ears can be correct. Your ears are minimally over-projected and the left ear is slightly longer than the right ear. They really are not deformed. However, if you are concerned about them they can be improved.

Hello and thank you for your question.  The
best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  Your ears appear normal to me.  If you are concerned, then I recommend
that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who
can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

I think your ears are perfectly proportioned for your face.    Don't listen to that neighborhood person.

Hello Curtis,
I would tend to agree that your friend is trying to "mess with your head". Don't let it bother you. Have a great Thanksgiving.
