Protruding ears, also known as bat ears or macrotia, can be a source of self-consciousness and insecurity for many individuals. Fortunately, otoplasty, or ear surgery, is a safe and effective procedure that can enhance the ear's form, location, and proportion.
Dr. Anup Dhir is a renowned plastic surgeon specializing in otoplasty and has helped numerous patients achieve natural-looking, balanced, and symmetrical ears.
Otoplasty is a versatile procedure that can address congenital issues and deformities caused by injury. In some cases, individuals are born with ears that protrude too far from the head and may have an unusual shape.
As children reach the age of five or six, their ears typically stop growing, making this an ideal time for otoplasty. By correcting the problem before they start school, children can avoid potential psychological stress and benefit from improved self-esteem.
Understanding Protruding Ears
Protruding ears occur when the ears stick out prominently from the side of the head. This condition can be congenital or the result of an injury, affecting both children and adults. Children often become subject to teasing and bullying due to their prominent ears, leading to emotional distress and low self-esteem. Otoplasty is a safe and reliable solution to correct protruding ears, granting individuals a more harmonious facial balance.
The cartilage, which supports the ears, is then reshaped and repositioned closer to the skull. This helps create a more natural contour, bringing the ears into better proportion with the rest of the face.
After the surgery, a dressing or bandage is typically applied to protect the ears and promote proper healing. This will allow sufficient time for the ears to heal in their new, corrected position.
