Ear surgery, or otoplasty, is usually done to set prominent ears
back closer to the head or to reduce the size of large ears.For
the most part, the operation is done on children between the
ages of four and 14. Ears are almost fully grown by age four,
and the earlier the surgery, the less teasing and ridicule the
child will have to endure. Ear surgery on adults is also
possible, and there are generally no additional risks associated
with ear surgery on an older patient.
