The most permanent solution for fixing uneven ears is otoplasty, a surgical procedure that reshapes or repositions the ears.
Otoplasty offers a long-lasting correction for ear asymmetry. Here’s a more detailed breakdown:
-
What is Otoplasty? Otoplasty, also known as ear surgery or ear pinning, is a cosmetic procedure designed to improve the shape, position, or proportion of the ears. It can address various concerns, including:
- Protruding ears: Correcting ears that stick out too far from the head.
- Asymmetrical ears: Addressing differences in the size, shape, or position of the ears.
- Misshapen ears: Correcting congenital deformities or injuries to the ears.
-
How Otoplasty Corrects Unevenness: The procedure involves reshaping the cartilage of the ears to achieve a more symmetrical and balanced appearance. The surgeon may remove excess cartilage, fold and reshape the existing cartilage, or use sutures to hold the cartilage in the desired position.
-
Expected Results: Following otoplasty, patients can expect a noticeable improvement in the symmetry and appearance of their ears. The results are typically long-lasting, providing a permanent solution to uneven ears. The single reference suggests that the results are indeed long-lasting.
It is important to consult with a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon to determine if otoplasty is the right solution for your specific needs and to discuss the potential risks and benefits of the procedure.
