Ear Surgery - Otoplasty
Prominent or protruding ears are a developmental deformity. They can be mild
to severe, and vary from right to left. The surgical correction for this problem
is ideally performed just prior to first grade, but may be performed any time
after that age. The results are permanent. No external scars or sutures are
obvious. The procedure takes approximately one to one-and-a half hours for
both sides.
Patients can resume school or work within 3 to 4 days after surgery.
This procedure is not usually covered by health insurance, but depending on
your particular insurance company, it may be covered in pediatric patients.
