Otoplasty
Surgery of the Ears

"Lop" ears are a source of embarrassment and self-consciousness to many people. Otoplasty, or ear pinback, is done to correct protruding ears.  It happens to be one of the few cosmetic surgeries performed on children.

A hidden incision is placed in the natural creases behind the ear and the cartilage of the ear is weakened so that it bends into a new shape. The cartilage is also stitched into position to hold the ear into position. This process is extremely psychologically uplifting.

Recovery normally takes one to two weeks and results can be noticed after many months.
