My young daughter has protruding ears and I’d like to help her out and get them fixed. I’m afraid she will be heavily teased about them in the future. How old does she have to be in order to undergo otoplasty?

Answer:

It is best to wait for her ears to reach their full size. Usually this happens around six years of age. If she is at least six, please schedule a consultation and we can discuss the procedure and I can answer any further questions you may have.
