Otoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reshape or reposition the ears. It is commonly performed on individuals with protruding ears or those with ear deformities. The surgery can enhance the appearance of the ears, making them more proportionate to the head and improving overall facial symmetry. The procedure typically involves making small incisions behind the ears to access the cartilage. Surgeons can then reshape the cartilage and secure the ears closer to the head. Otoplasty is often performed on children, but adults can also benefit from this surgery, which usually results in minimal scarring and a quick recovery.
