When I was younger my ears appeared to be large and protruding. Due to this I still see it this way despite my parents telling me I grew into them. I have wanted an otoplasty for a few years now since learning what it was, however when I tell people about my interest in this surgery they think I’m being ridiculous and ‘don’t need it’. Do you think I should go ahead with an otoplasty?

Answer: Otoplasty Hello,Thank you for your question. Only you can decide whether you need this surgery or not. But the overall appearance can be improved by the otoplasty. Ears are important parameter that determines the width of your head. In a Flap technique, which was developed by me for correcting prominent ears, the sutures are used to fold the ear cartilage back. As I use absorbable sutures, suture extrusion after the surgery is out of question. I flatten the ears backwards with the flap tissue dehiscence and relapses after surgery is out of question as well.

Answer: Are you unhappy with your appearance? This decision is something that you should make. If you’re unhappy with the appearance of your ears, then otoplasty may help reduce their size and projection. However, you should be aware that like with any surgery, otoplasty does come with its own set of risks. If you think that the benefits outweigh these risks, then please see a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in otoplasty for a consultation.
