Do ears return to an original position after otoplasty?

Otoplasty is a type of surgery designed to correct the prominent ears. In our previous posts, I provided you with some information about prominent ears, causes, and ways to improve them. I remember also mentioning that prominent ears do not cause any trouble affecting a person's health. However, if one feels stressed because of the look, they can opt for the otoplasty (ear surgery to improve prominent ears). 

One of the frequent questions we get while consulting our clients is about the result of the surgery. Most people undergoing the otoplasty are very concerned and worried about the fact that the ears may return to their original position after the surgery. When the doctor carries out otoplasty, he collects ear cartilage and makes a curvature by fixing it. Even if there is the likelihood that ears tend to return to the original position, they do not return completely. It is one of our body's characteristics: its tendency to return to its previous original position. 

Therefore, considering this tendency of the body, the plastic surgeon performs the surgery delicately and fixes the cartilage very well. If the ears return to their previous position, then the doctor can recommend a revision surgery, which requires a lot more close attention, delicacy, and experience from the plastic surgeon. Therefore, one must make sure that the doctor has a sufficient amount of clinical experience in this field.
