Ear Surgery (Otoplasty) is a surgical procedure to correct protruding ears, "lop ear" (when the tip seems to fold down and forward), "cupped ear" (usually a very small ear), and "shell ear" (when the curve in the outer rim, as well as the natural folds and creases, are missing). Surgery can also improve large or stretched earlobes, or lobes with large creases and wrinkles. Surgeons can even build new ears for those who were born without them or who lost them through injury.
Most patients, young and old alike, are thrilled with the results of ear surgery.
