style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Is Otoplasty?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Otoplasty, or ear reshaping surgery, is a surgical procedure that adjusts the position, size, or shape of the ears to achieve better facial balance and symmetry. It&#8217;s one of the few cosmetic procedures regularly performed on both children and adults \u2014 children are often brought in by parents to address teasing over protruding ears before starting school, while adults may seek the same correction later in life, or address asymmetry, earlobe repair, or the results of a previous procedure.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Results_of_Ear_Reshaping_Surgery\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Results of Ear Reshaping Surgery:<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Immediate, visible improvement<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in ear position or size is noticeable as soon as the bandage is removed, typically

position.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For children, the psychological benefit is often immediate: most parents report a noticeable
