What Is Otoplasty Surgery?
Otoplasty is a procedure that corrects the appearance of the ears, addressing issues such as protruding, overly large, or malformed ears. The surgery reshapes and repositions the ear structures, bringing them closer to the head or adjusting their size for a more balanced and natural look. Otoplasty is not only an aesthetic enhancement but also provides a psychological boost by increasing self-confidence.
