If your ears protrude excessively out from the side of your head (prominent ears), then Otoplasty or ear surgery can bring your ears closer to your head and in a more normal position. Ear cartilage can also be reshaped to give a normal shape to your ear. By bringing your ears closer to your side of your head and reshaping your ear cartilage, Dr. James R. Benjamin can adjust your ears into the normal natural position. Otoplasty, or ear pinning, is done to correct protruding ears. Although commonly performed on adults, it also happens to be one of few cosmetic procedures that may also be performed on children.This procedure can be performed on children as young as 5 years old . Ear surgery is a safe and short procedure. Dr. Benjamin recommends that the ear correction be performed as early as possible to reduce the teasing that a child may experience.
