Protruding Ears

Protruding Ears

Protruding ears are an aesthetic problem that can affect an individual's self-confidence from childhood. Especially in school-aged children, psychological effects such as introversion, social anxiety, and low self-esteem can be observed due to peer bullying. Therefore, otoplasty (ear reshaping surgery) is an important surgical intervention not only for physical well-being but also for emotional well-being.

Otoplasty (ear correction surgery) aims to bring the ears closer to the head and give them a natural curve. Depending on the details of the procedure and the patient's age, it can be performed under general or local anesthesia. It is usually performed through a small incision behind the ear, and the scars are not visible externally.
