Otoplasty Philadelphia - Ear SurgeryIf You’re Considering Ear Surgery… Some people are born with ears that stick out from the side of the head and are more prominent than others’. For these people, surgeons have developed otoplasty, or commonly referred to as ear surgery, which surgically sets the ears back against the sides of the head, so the protrusion is minimized and the ears are brought to a normative position on the sides of the head. Typically, the procedure is performed on children ages 4 to 14, as it is important to perform the surgery as early as possible, to prevent teasing from other children, which can be emotionally stressful to the child. Ear surgery can be performed – with no additional risks involved – on adult patients as well. Planning For Surgery It is important to note that, most children who suffer from large or protruding ears will eventually desire the surgery themselves. This is the best of all situations, as it is always better to have the full cooperation of the child during the process and promotes better results physically and emotionally. As with any cosmetic enhancement surgery, you should first consider your motivations for surgery to be sure that you’re choosing surgery for yourself and not to fulfill someone else’s’ desires or expectations of you or your child. It is a very personal matter and any decision for surgery should come after careful consideration of all the facts and emotions, especially when children are involved. |
