Prominent ears can be a big issue – especially when children are affected. Teasing other children can be very devastating. The good news is that prominent ears can be dramatically improved with corrective ear surgery (otoplasty). Otoplasty surgery can have a dramatic and positive effect on a patient’s perception of their appearance. Children and adults alike who once used to style their hair to hide their prominent ears are often liberated to wear their hair the way they want – no longer concerned about what people might think or say about their formerly protruding ears!
