Otoplasty
What Is an Otoplasty?
An otoplasty is a type of cosmetic surgery intended to change the position of protruding ears. It can pin, reposition, or trim the cartilage so that your ears no longer visibly protrude.
Over 50,000 Americans Received an Otoplasty In 2020
If you are considering an otoplasty to reposition your ear and cartilage, you're not alone. 53,095 Americans chose to refine their appearance with this surgical procedure in 2020 alone, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
Improve Your Confidence With Ear Surgery

Conspicuous ears can distract from a person's natural facial features. They can also hurt your self-esteem and confidence. With cosmetic ear surgery, the ears can be repositioned so that they look more natural and more attractive.
A simple-looking change makes all the difference.
