Have you ever heard and wondered about the term otoplasty? This surgery has been talked about on a recent television talk show. We thought our followers might like to learn more about it. Otoplasty surgery is performed to correct overly prominent ears in both children and adults.  People who have this are often very self conscious. An inconspicuous incision is made behind the ear allowing Dr. Wooten to sculpt the ear cartilage into a more normal configuration---permitting the ears to be brought back closer to the sides of the head in a natural way, thus correcting the problem. For children, the summer months when school is not in session is an ideal time to have this life changing surgery. Call our office if we can answer any further questions.
