What is "otoplasty"?

Otoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at changing the shape, size, or position of the ears. It is commonly performed to correct ears the stick out by reshaping the cartilage and bringing them closer to the head. Otoplasty can also address deformities present at birth or injuries that affect the appearance of the ears. This procedure is typically chosen by individuals to improve the appearance of their ears. Recovery from otoplasty involves wearing a protective bandage over the ears for a few days to promote healing and support the new shape.
