Answer: Is otoplasty or ear surgery worth it the worth or value of this is really dependent upon you. We really cannot tell you what you should or should not do. That being said, it would appear based on her photographs that UR a good candidate but you need to explore your projected outcome with board certified surgeons in person. there may be small things about your likely outcome that you may not like or you may love. Seek out someone who obviously performs otoplasty frequently and take it from there.given your comments about feeling depressed and U asking for help leads me to make the comment that he must approach this cautiously. A good result could have U feeling wonderful or if it is not as you have it pictured in your mind could make it feel worse. He may want to take some time to explore the psychological aspects of this in addition to surgical consultation before proceedingChase Lay, MDDouble board-certified facial plastic surgeon

Answer: Ten years of thinking of if I should do ear surgery or not, am I a good candidate? Hello Neslon. Your ears are only slightly protruding. The decision to have ear pinning surgery must always rest with the patient. If the current position of your ears disturbs you, you can have them pinned closer to the head with an otoplasty, regardless of whether it is with a traditional method or with the minimally invasive stitch method. With the stitch method, the patient may co-determine the new position of his ears with the aid of a hand-held mirror. By the way, big ears always appear smaller when they have been pinned closer to the head.
