Ear Reshaping
Q:
My baby is 10 months old and his ears stick out very far. I know there is plastic surgery to correct this and I am thinking about having it done. Would he have a lot of pain after the surgery and do you think he is too young to have the type of procedure to correct this?
Q:
My husband, who is 42, has small ears but they stick out. He wears his hair so they are not so noticeable. I was wondering if there is a procedure to fix this and, if so, is he too old to have it done?
Q:
I am interested in surgery in order to alter the shape and size of my ears. Is this possible?
Q:
Is there any kind of cosmetic surgery that can pull back ears?
Q:
Are there certain surgeons who specialize in children's procedures? We are thinking of having our son's ears done but want to find someone who is familiar with children's needs and the procedure as well as anesthesia. How do we find a person who specializes in this area?
