Ear surgery, also called otoplasty, is a surgery to modify the shape or position of the ear. This procedure is unique, that it is the only cosmetic surgery that can be performed in childhood, which is usually covered by insurance. Patients having an issue of prominent ears with normal shaped ears, or unprojected ears, misplaced ear components, abnormal shape of ears, and ageing ears with elongated lobules are great candidates for this procedure. Preparation may include a detailed history of medical issues, medications history, and physical examination.
