Are you a good candidate for ear surgery?

The following are some common reasons why you may want to consider ear surgery:

• If your ears have reached their full size, which usually happens around age six. Children are common patients for this procedure.
• A set-back otoplasty, which is a procedure to reduce the prominence of ears that stick out too much, can be performed on adults as well as children.

If you are in good general health, have a positive attitude and realistic expectations, you are most likely a good candidate for this procedure.
