Oto means ear, and plasty means to shape or reform. The operation
of Otoplasty means to reshape or reform the ear.
The most common condition that warrants an Otoplasty is the
prominent ear even though
other ear malformations exist. The prominent ear is the ear
that protrudes or sticks out too far from the head.
Through an incision made on the back of the ear, surgical techniques,
such as, cartilage removal and reshaping can be performed to
restore normal ear shape.
Otoplasty is commonly done on children once the ear is fully
developed (ages 4-6). However, it is also performed on adults.
When the procedure is done on children general anesthesia is
used. When the procedure is done on adults IV sedation and local
aesthesia is used.
This procedure can be done on one or both ears, as needed.
