Can you fix ears that stick out?

 

Protruding eats occur for many people due to genetics and deformity of ear cartilage. Protruding ears don’t affect the hearing, however, they can cause distress related to facial appearance for many people. Especially for adults, it can feel awkward to wear hair up and headbands. 

One of the most effective ways to treat protruding ears is a surgical method. It corrects the deformities of external ears by reshaping them and making them appear smaller.

The ear correction surgery is performed on an outpatient basis. The surgical method involves the incision on a natural fold just behind the ears. The doctor creates the folds that bend the ears to a desirable position. 

The sutures will be woven into the ears and will pin the ears back. The ears will be reattached to the skin using tiny stitches.  

There may be a slight post-operative discomfort, swelling, and bruising which can be alleviated by the medicine prescribed by the doctor. 

You should sleep on your back so that you don’t give any pressure on the operated area. With time, the incision area will be almost invisible.
