An otoplasty is most commonly performed on children between the ages of four and fourteen. Ear surgery on adults is possible as well and there are no additional risks associated on performing the procedure on adult patients. The procedure can help a child avoid teasing from peers because of protruding ears. Such factors may affect an individual's confidence, leading them to seek their own otoplasty in Los Angeles.

An otoplasty can improve the overall balance of a patient's face. The ears are pulled in closer to the head or reduced in size to produce a more natural look. This plastic surgeon / cosmetic surgeon in Los Angeles accomplishes such effects by either removing skin to pull the ears back or by reducing the cartilage inside. This not only helps to improve the physical appearance of the patient, but also restores self-confidence and respect to the patient.
