Prominent ears can be sculpted by an otoplasty procedure in Philadelphia, PA. For children, this surgery is sometimes covered by insurance. The surgery uses sutures and cartilage scoring to better contour the ear at the anti-helix and concha. Ears that contour normally allow a patient the freedom of any hairstyle without the need to cover the ears. The surgery should alleviate potential embarrassment that a child might face from his or her peers.

While in Philadelphia otoplasty is more commonly performed on children, an increasing number of adults want surgical help to have ears that are in harmony with the rest of the face. Even though only one ear may appear to protrude excessively, it is usually necessary to correct both in order to get the desired result.
