What is Otoplasty?<\/h3>\t\t\t

Otoplasty is a surgical procedure that corrects genetic ear defects and is also performed in cases of partial or total absence of ears. Otoplasty also helps correct aesthetic alterations in the shape, size, or proportion of the ears, for example, protruding or protruding ears.
\nOtoplasty can be performed under general or local anesthesia, depending on the patient’s age and health. The procedure is minimally invasive.
\nBy removing excess tissue, we redesign the projection, position, and shape of the ears in otoplasty.<\/p>\n
