I have uneven ears, it make my face uneven. It seems that my left ear dropped 1 cm. Is there anyway to fix it? (so they will correct in horizontal position) Is it caused by bad jaw?
Answer: Is There Any Way to Fix Uneven Ears? I appreciate your question and understand your concern. Understand that no face is perfect symmetrical and most asymmetries go unnoticed to those around you. However, if the different positions of your ears is obvious, there are some options that can make the asymmetry less obtrusive. For example, ear pinning positions the ears closer to the sides of the head so they are not as noticeable overall. If the difference is due to something minor like different sizes in the lobes, this can also be corrected with surgery. However, there is no way to actually move one ear up or down in position. My advice is to meet with a surgeon that has ample experience in both plastic surgery and otolaryngology to achieve the best cosmetic result without sacrificing any of the function of the ear. Good luck!

Answer: Asymmetry can be fixed in most cases A photo would help. It is the norm to have asymmetry in the size, shape and/or position of your ears. A board certified plastic surgeon experienced in performing otoplasty may be able to reduce this asymmetry, depending on the cause.

Answer: Any way to fix uneven ears? Most people have some degree of facial asymmetry. This may be reflected in asymmetric brow position, orbital shape, cheek shape, ear position, jaw shape, and other areas. When it comes to the ears in particular, it is important to realize that people do not generally recognize small asymmetries between the two ears because it is very difficult to see both ears simultaneously and assess them in detail. Usually most people are only able to see one ear at a time as they look at someone else. That being said, if there is an asymmetry between the position of the ears on the head, there is no easy way to fix this. The ear canal position cannot be changed as it is a bony and cartilaginous canal that extends into the skull. Asymmetric ear position such as an overly prominent ear lobe or overly protuberant ear on one side could be corrected, but the position of the ear as a whole cannot be changed (at least not in an aesthetically-pleasing and still functional manner). All the best,

TREATMENT FOR YOU

Answer: Facial Asymmetry & Ear Asymmetry Solutions Facial asymmetry is an extremely common phenomena and is present in almost everyone to some degree. In most cases, it’s barely noticeable, but occasionally it’s severe and treatment may be necessary. Asymmetry of the ears can occur for a variety of reasons and is often associated with facial asymmetry. This asymmetry may be related to the size, shape, position and location of the ear. Depending upon the characteristics of the asymmetry, treatment may or may not be possible. When ear asymmetry is associated with facial asymmetry it’s not unusual for one side of the face to have a depressed orbital rim, flattened cheekbone and an ear that’s lower and further back then the opposite side. When this situation arises, it’s possible in some cases to disguise the asymmetry. Unfortunately, when the entire ear is malpositioned it’s impossible to correct the deformity entirely because the position of the ear canal can’t be changed. It’s important to realize that every patient with facial asymmetry needs a careful analysis. Treatment will vary from patient to patient and will depend on their underlying facial anatomy. Without a physical examination, it’s impossible to make a definitive diagnosis and formulate a treatment plan. If you’re considering treatment, it’s important that you meet with a board certified plastic surgeon who can help you with this decision.

Answer: Auricular dystopia (uneven horizontal placement of ears)
There may be a variety of reasons for the uneven horizontal orientation of your ears (dystopia). These can be due to soft tissue or boney asymmetry. You should meet with plastic surgeon for an evaluation and recommendation of treatment options.
