Small change, big confidence. Correct the shape or position of your ears so you can wear a short haircut with confidence.

DESCRIPTION

Ear Reshaping (otoplasty) corrects ears that stick out, are uneven, or have an unusual shape or size. For men who prefer short haircuts or a shaved head, prominent ears are hard to hide; by reshaping the cartilage and setting the ears closer to the head, otoplasty creates a balanced, natural appearance. It can also address ear deformities from contact sports.

The incision is usually hidden in the natural crease behind the ear, so scars are barely noticeable. It is a relatively quick procedure, suitable for men and for boys from about age 5.
