You may be a candidate for Arizona otoplasty surgery. Otoplasty is the name given to surgical procedures involving the ear. For some people, large and protruding ears have been a problem since early childhood. For children, protruding ears can be a source of ridicule and teasing. The otoplasty outpatient procedure can correct his problem.

The ears are fully grown by age 4, and this Arizona otoplasty surgery can be performed. The procedure involves rotating the cartilage and removing some if necessary. By removing the cartilage, the ear will lie flatter against the head, reducing their prominence. Otoplasty surgery takes approximately 2 hours, and recovery time is generally 7-10 days. Most children and adults are up and moving in only a few hours after the procedure.
