Ears play a crucial role in facial aesthetics and contribute to the overall balance of facial features. Ears that are naturally large, protruding, or have structural deformities can affect a person’s self-confidence and may lead to psychological challenges, especially during childhood. Ear aesthetics, medically known as otoplasty, is a surgical procedure performed to correct the size, shape, or angle of the outer ear, ensuring a more harmonious appearance with the face.
Otoplasty is most commonly performed to bring protruding ears closer to the head (prominent ear surgery). However, congenital ear deformities, asymmetric ear structures, or deformities caused by trauma can also be corrected through otoplasty.
This procedure not only addresses aesthetic concerns but also helps boost self-confidence and improve comfort in social interactions. Ear aesthetics is a personalized surgical procedure, planned according to the individual’s ear structure, facial proportions, and expectations to achieve the most natural and aesthetically pleasing outcome. Otoplasty is a safe procedure for both children and adults. More harmonious, naturally shaped, and symmetrical ears can enhance a person’s overall facial expression in a positive way.
For individuals considering ear aesthetics, the most important step is consulting with an experienced surgeon to determine the most suitable ear shape for their facial structure and create a personalized treatment plan.
