Prominent Ear Aesthetics is a surgery performed to correct structural ear abnormalities. This reshaping surgery does not create a functional effect on the ear, it aims to give the ear a more natural appearance.
Protruding ears are caused by the increased angle between the head and the ear and the underdeveloped upper fold of the ear. Although there are many congenital or acquired problems in the ear, the most common reason for surgery is protruding ears. Protruding ear correction surgery aims to create the underdeveloped ear fold (antihelix) and make the ear look better aesthetically by bringing it closer to the scalp. It can be done under general or local anesthesia.
The prominent ear appearance may cause psychological problems such as lack of self-confidence and social withdrawal. It is recommended that this operation be performed at the earliest age, as it affects the person socially and psychologically.
