Face - Ear Surgery


Ear surgery can improve the shape and re-positioning of your ears. (Large ears are known as bat ears). Ear surgery is done to reduce the size of your ear if they are large in proportion to your other facial features. If your ears protrude more than normal, surgery can re-position them closer to your head. Ear surgery often is recommended for children as they near total ear development at age five or six. Correction of the ears prior to the child entering school helps eliminate potential psychological trauma from the teasing of classmates. Adults may also have their ears reshaped.
