Who can have an Ear Surgery?

Ideal Candidates

1. Individuals With Protruding Ears

Patients with a noticeable protrusion of the ear benefit greatly from Otoplasty, or ear pinning surgery. This group often seeks surgery due to long-standing self-consciousness.

2. Children Aged Five and Above

Because cartilage becomes more stable around this age, children with protruding ear concerns are excellent candidates for otoplasty (ear reshaping).

3. Adults Seeking Cosmetic Enhancement

Adults who want their ears pinned back or improved ear symmetry can achieve transformative results with Otoplasty.

4. Individuals With Ear Deformities

Congenital or injury-related deformities can be effectively treated with Ear reshaping and otoplasty surgery.

5. Patients With Realistic Expectations

Understanding the benefits and limitations of ear pinning surgery ensures greater satisfaction.

Who Is NOT a Good Candidate?

Individuals With Infections or Poor Healing Ability

Ear infections or chronic conditions can interfere with safe healing after Otoplasty or Ear reshaping.

Uncontrolled Medical Conditions

Diabetes, hypertension, and immune disorders may affect results from ear pinning surgery.

People Expecting Scar-Free Results

While scars are minimal and well hidden, they do exist.

Very Young Children

The ideal age for otoplasty surgery is 5+ because cartilage needs to be sufficiently developed.

A good candidate is someone with healthy cartilage, stable expectations, and a clear desire to correct a protruding ear or achieve balanced Ear reshaping. Proper selection ensures:

• Natural, symmetrical results

• Long-lasting improvements

• Safe healing timelines

• High patient satisfaction
