Large, asymmetrical, and prominent ears may cause embarrassment for many children, as well as adults in Portland. Otoplasty or ear surgery can balance the ears and reduce their prominence.
Your Ear Surgery
While ear pinning is commonly performed on children, many women and men who are self-conscious about their ears consider otoplasty. During your consultation, you and your surgeon will discuss which aspects of your ears you are dissatisfied with. This procedure does not affect your hearing and is relatively straightforward. Many patients who receive ear surgery are so happy with the results that they wondered why they waited so long to seek surgery in the first place. Otoplasty is highly effective in children because their ear tissue is flexible. And, by having the procedure at an early age, the child may not experience the teasing that often accompanies protruding ears.
