At your initial consultation, the doctor will evaluate your condition, or that of your child, discuss your expectations and recommend the most effective technique. Even when only one ear appears to protrude, surgery may be performed on both ears for better balance and proportion.

The doctor can help parents decide what is best for their child, not only aesthetically, but also psychologically and physically. We recommend that parents be sensitive to their child's feelings about protruding ears and ensure that the child is comfortable with the decision to have corrective surgery.

You should plan your next visit to the hairdresser to be immediately prior to surgery, as you will need to avoid this type of activity during the healing period.
