Repositioning Your Ears

Otoplasty, commonly known as ear surgery, is a cosmetic procedure to improve the appearance of protruding or malformed ears. Some individuals may feel self-conscious about their ears due to genetics, injury, size, or projection. This surgery can help reshape, reposition, or resize the ears, providing a more aesthetically pleasing appearance that complements the shape of the face.
