Ear Surgery or Otoplasty is commonly referred to as “pinning back” of the ears and is available for children once their ears have stopped developing, around the age of six. Over-developed ears can be the cause of psychological stress and trauma and should be treated at a young age before it becomes a serious issue.Protruding or unusually shaped ears or earlobes are readily contoured with minimal discomfort and recovery time. There’s no need to be frustrated with what “sounds like” a “big” problem — talk to Dr. Pogue about your surgical options.
