Also known as otoplasty surgery, cosmetic ear surgery can improve the shape, position, or proportion of the ear. It can correct a defect in the ear structure that is present at birth, such as overly large ears or protruding ears, and can also treat ear shape that becomes more noticeable with development or misshapen ears caused by injury.
Surgeons at VOBE Clinic perform ear surgery techniques that create a natural shape while bringing balance and proportion to the ears and face. Correction of even minor deformities can improve the appearance and boost self-esteem.
