Otoplasty (prominent ears surgery) is performed in cases generally referred to as “prominent ear”. Prominent ear is a condition where the angle of the ear with the head is more pronounced than normal. Prominent ear deformity does not improve with age. Moreover, as the cartilages get harder and grow, their prominence increases. Therefore, it is recommended to perform otoplasty at an early age, especially in the preschool period (i.e. between 5 and 6 years of age), in order to prevent the children from feeling inadequate.
