OTOPLASTY
Prominent/Protruding ears can lead to teasing about the appearance of ears which can affect the self-confidence of an individual.
Otoplasty helps in correcting the deformity by setting back the ear that improves appearance without any visible scar. The results are natural and patients don’t need to hide their ears anymore under hoodie, cap or long hair.
