Otoplasty

The prominent ear deformity is the condition in which the auricle is curved forward, contrary to the normal anatomical position. The prominent ear is a common problem that can be the source of significant psychosocial, emotional, or behavioral problems in children. It is the most common congenital ear deformity. Prominent ear operations are safe procedures. Since only the outer part of the ear is intervened in prominent ear aesthetics, it does not cause a problem with hearing.

Age of Operation

The pinna completes its development at around six years of age. The most suitable period for the proposed prominent ear aesthetics is the pre-school period. At the age of starting school, the circle of friends with which children communicate expands, and this period is very fragile and sensitive for children. They are affected by situations such as being mocked and nicknamed for their ear appearance. This may cause a lack of self-confidence, and they may feel the need to hide their ears with their hair at later ages. Aesthetic ear operation can be corrected at any age later on.
