Prominent ear is seen in approximately one out of every 5 children. While it may be regarded as a cute deformity at a very young age, it can also be mockery at school age. It can cause psychological problems for children who are teased by their friends in this way.
Although the ear is not larger than normal in the ear deformity, it is that way. Since the ear is facing forward, it immediately draws attention at first glance. Whereas the ears are normally the least noticeable area on the face.
Due to these reasons, the ear has a greater angle with the head than it should have, it turns forward instead of leaning and stands more apart.
By the age of 6 years, the ear size reaches 85% of the adult size. This surgery can be performed from this age.
It takes an average of 1-1.5 hours
Since the incision scars from surgery remain behind the ear and the angular aperture of the ear no longer exists, scars cannot be seen even from the backside.

The only permanent solution to the treatment of the prominent ear is surgery.
Although some methods are mentioned such as the use of adhesives, pressing, fastening, and stitchless correction, these methods cannot treat the prominent ear, contrarily they may even be harmful.
