Ear Surgery
Ear surgery, or otoplasty, is usually done to set prominent
ears back closer to the head or to reduce the size of large
ears. For the most part, the operation is done on children between
the ages of 4 and 14. Ears are almost fully grown by age 4,
and the earlier the surgery, the less teasing and ridicule the
child will have to endure. Ear surgery on adults is also possible,
and there are generally no additional risks associated with
ear surgery on an older patient.
