Ear surgery, or otoplasty, can be recommended for children who have prominent or protruding ears that may cause psychological distress or affect their self-esteem. It is typically performed after the age of five when the ear cartilage is more developed. However, it is important to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon who specializes in pediatric otoplasty to assess your child’s specific situation and determine the most appropriate timing for the procedure. The surgeon will consider factors such as the child’s physical and emotional maturity to ensure the best possible outcome.
