"My ears is so prominent. "
What is an otoplasty?
An otoplasty is a surgery performed to correct prominent or floppy ears. The otoplasty procedure will make the ears have better natural proportion to your head
Prominent Ears are due to an unusually large cartilage bowl. Lop ears are due to a weakness in the cartilage of the upper ear lobe. With lop ears the upper part flops down instead of lying near to the head.
Some patients have both a large cartilage bowl as well as weakness of the cartilage. Treatment is surgical repair of the deformed cartilage. The ear surgery is called otoplasty and is performed out-patient in the hospital.
Scars
The incisions made to pin the ears back are carefully hidden in the crease behind the ears. Once the ears have healed it is almost impossible to distinguish them from normal ears.
Recovery
Your bandage is removed after a week. There are no stitches to remove. You should wear a tennis sweatband for a further two weeks. You can resume all sports after 6 weeks.
