Otoplasty ‘Protruding’ ears can become a problematic condition during childhood or adolescence. One of the most classic interventions of facial plastic surgery allows you to operate on the various structures involved to restore a physiological curvature of the auricle, giving harmony and linearity to the oval of the face. Reconstructions of the ear lobes or the pavilion due to natural or traumatic clefts (due for example to piercings, earrings, etc.) are also considered interventions pertaining to the auricle. In these cases, with a simple operation under local anesthesia, the damage is corrected by restoring the entirety of the previously traumatized anatomical structure.
