Otoplasty

Christopher Slack, MD

Otoplasty is performed to set back a person’s ear which is too prominent or misshapen. This procedure is normally performed on children, although it is not uncommon for adults to have this procedure. The minimum age is 5 years. The recovery period for both children and adults is 5-7 days. Otoplasty in the child is often covered by health insurance.
