Otoplasty (Prominent Ear Surgery)

Prominent ear deformity mostly occurs due to genetic reasons. Especially in school age and adolescence, this situation causes very serious problems. The resulting psychological trauma negatively affects school success and socialization of the individual.

When Is It Appropriate to Perform Prominent Ear Surgery?

The development of the auricle is completed around the age of 6. Therefore, this surgery can be performed at any age from the age of 6 onwards. Performing the surgery in the pre-school period will be beneficial especially in terms of not affecting both the psychological and school success of the patient. Patients who do not have surgery in this period can also have this surgery at any time in their lives.
