Ears can come in various sizes and shapes, depending on the genotype of the person. Ears complete their developmental stages by 80-90% until 5-6 years of age. Since ear development is completed early in life, ear deformations become evident in childhood. The most typical ear deformation is the “Sail Ear”. This deformity is present in many people in varying degrees. However, if the deformation is significant, it can cause lifelong discomfort for the person. For some people, it can even cause serious psychological disorders.

Otoplasty or ear surgery is plastic surgery to correct aesthetic or functional issues in the ear area. The procedure can reposition and reshape the ears and treat any structural problems or injury-related deformations.
