PROTRUDING EARS? – Profilo Salute magazine, September 2016

You can correct them. This is a problem of form and not of functionality

When we speak of protruding ears we refer to a small anomaly in the shape of the auricle.

This defect is easily corrected through a surgical procedure, which takes the name of otoplasty.

Sticking out ears appear in childhood and the cause is not due, as many think, to trauma or to a bad sleeping position but is genetically programmed.

Depending on the age and sex of the patient and depending on the extent of the problem, the defect often tends to be disguised with the hair.

It is always a problem of form and not of functionality and can affect one or both ears and the defect can involve only one or more components of the cartilaginous auricle, which is the structure which constitutes the shape of the ear.
