Otoplasty

Ear surgery, also called otoplasty, is usually done on prominent ears to set them back closer to the head or to decrease the size of large ears. Otoplasty is usually performed through an incision behind the ear. The ear cartilage is sculpted and reshaped.

The procedure can be performed under attended local or general anesthesia on an outpatient basis.  Most patients are back to school or work in two weeks.
