What Is Ear Aesthetic (Otoplasty) Surgery and How Is It Done?

Ear asthetic surgery (otoplasty) is a technique for correcting aesthetic surgical abnormalities in the external ear structure seen in both children and adults. In order to access the ear cartilage, the surgeon creates a little cut behind the ear. To reshape or place the ear closer to the head, the surgeon may remove a few small pieces of cartilage and stitch the rear of the ear.
