Children born with ears that stick out or are abnormally large can have an extremely difficult time and are often teased. This self-consciousness about their ears can carry on into adolescence and even adulthood. McLean Cosmetic Ear Surgery, or Otoplasty, is a procedure to re-set the ears closer to the sides of the head to create a more normal appearance. The cartilage may also be re-shaped or some bits of it removed, as needed to create a more symmetrical and harmonious appearance. Cosmetic ear surgery can also be used to correct torn ear lobes and other imperfections in the structure of the ear.
