Otoplasty or ear
surgery is the procedure used to modify the size and
shape of your ears in order to give them a more
pleasant look. If your ears stand out prominently or
are too big, this is your chance to stop being ashamed
of them and harmonize your face.

What
does Otoplasty do?
It reduces the projection of
prominent ears. The angle between the head and the ear is
about 35°. Many people consider a greater angle to be
unaesthetic. Do people talk about your ears? Were you laughed
at in school? Then this surgery may be the right thing for
you. It reduces the size of big ears. It corrects
irregularities in the outline of the ear, such as the outline
of 'pointy ears' or of 'lop ears'. It may also help correct
earlobe problems such as lacerations due to heavy earrings,
enlargement of the earlobe due to aging and scars from
previous face-lifts.
What does an Otoplasty NOT do?
Even though it will make
your face look more beautiful and harmonious, and it will
probably also improve your self-esteem, it will not be enough
to make you look perfect. We must be realistic and accept that
that kind of perfection does not exist.
How
is Otoplasty performed?
The surgeon makes a vertical
incision on the back of each ear exposing the cartilage that
is under the skin (this cartilage is what gives the ear
firmness and defines its shape). There are two possible
procedures, according to the particular characteristics of
each case: a) The surgeon sculpts the cartilage and folds it
towards the head to reduce its projection, then he sutures
with permanent stitches that will hold it in the desired
position. b) The surgeon removes part of the cartilage to
achieve a larger reduction before folding it towards the head,
then he sutures with permanent stitches that will hold it in
the desired position.
