What is an Otoplasty?
Otoplasty corrects structural or aesthetic concerns of the ears, including:

-
Other Concerns: Addressing deformities caused by genetics, injury, or previous surgeries.
This versatile procedure is customized to meet the unique needs and goals of each patient, ensuring a result that complements their features.
