What is Ear Surgery?
Ear surgery, also known as otoplasty, is a procedure designed to improve the shape and position of the ears.
It can correct ear-structure differences present from birth, changes that become apparent during development, or misshapen ears caused by injury. The goal is to create a natural ear shape while improving balance and proportion between the ears, head and face.
