My daughter was born with really large, prominent ears that stick out...

Question:

My daughter was born with really large, prominent ears that stick out. She’s only 10 but she gets teased a lot at school and she’s begging me to do something about it. Is she too young for ear pinning surgery?

Answer:

Absolutely not.  Otoplasty can be performed any age after 5-6 when the ears have reached full size.  In adults, this can be performed under local anesthesia, but I would recommend performing your daughter's otoplasty under anesthesia.
