This procedure is commonly performed on children who were born with ears that protrude from their scalp. In addition to protruding, they are often missing some of the contours that constitute the shape of a normal ear. An Otoplasty is a procedure in which the ears are reshaped and pulled closer to the scalp. This procedure is not limited to children. Many adults, who, for whatever reason did not have surgery as a child, seek intervention later in life. These adults may have been ridiculed all through school and throughout their adolescent life.
