What Is Prominent Ear Surgery?
Prominent ear surgery—sometimes casually referred to as ear removal surgery —is a cosmetic procedure that reshapes and repositions ears that noticeably stick out. Although the term “ear removal” is misleading, the actual procedure involves reshaping the cartilage to create a more natural ear fold and positioning the ear closer to the head.
This surgery is most commonly performed on children aged five and older, once the ear cartilage is firm enough to maintain a new shape. Adults may also opt for the procedure for cosmetic reasons or to improve self-confidence.
Why Consider Ear Correction Surgery?
Children with prominent ears are often teased, which can affect their self-esteem and emotional development. For adults, prominent ears may lead to ongoing insecurity. This surgery aims to improve appearance in a subtle, natural way—helping individuals feel more comfortable with hairstyles and their overall look. While perfect symmetry is not the goal, most patients experience a noticeable improvement and are pleased with the results.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Surgery typically involves:
A small incision made behind the ear
Cartilage reshaping and suturing to create a new fold
Removal of excess skin if needed
Closure of the wound and placement of a protective bandage
Children usually undergo the procedure under general anesthesia, while adults may have the option of local anesthesia with sedation.
Ear Surgery Recovery: Healing and Aftercare
Ear surgery recovery is generally quick and straightforward. After surgery:
A head bandage is worn for about 7–10 days to support the new ear shape
Once removed, a softer headband is worn, especially at night, for about 6 weeks
Pain is usually minimal and managed with over-the-counter pain relievers
Most children return to school in a week; adults can return to work within 48 hours
Contact sports and strenuous activity should be avoided for 3 weeks
Patients may feel some numbness or tingling in the ears during the healing process, especially when exposed to cold temperatures.
Complications of Ear Surgery: What You Should Know
While complications are rare, it’s important to be aware of the risks associated with this procedure. Possible complications of ear surgery include:
Scarring: The incision behind the ear typically fades over time, but some individuals—especially those with darker skin—may develop thicker or more visible scars.
Infection: Usually mild and treatable with antibiotics.
Bleeding: Generally minor, especially with proper head dressing.
Loss of Correction: If the ears are bumped or injured during healing, the results may be partially or completely lost.
Numbness: Temporary changes in sensation are common and usually resolve over time.
Need for Revision Surgery: In some cases, a second procedure may be needed for further adjustment.
Final Thoughts
Though often misunderstood as ear removal surgery, this procedure is a safe and effective way to reshape prominent ears and improve confidence. With proper care and realistic expectations, most individuals experience a smooth ear surgery recovery and long-lasting results. Understanding the process, aftercare, and potential complications of ear surgery helps ensure a successful and satisfying outcome.
