What is Otoplasty?
Concerns Related to Otoplasty:
Otoplasty, also known as ear surgery, is a procedure that reshapes, repositions, or reduces the size of the ears. It can correct ears that are protruding, prominent, or sagging in proportion to the head. Otoplasty is most commonly performed on children, but adults who are self-conscious about the appearance of their ears can also have it done.
