Question:
My daughter is eight years old. The other day she came home in tears because the kids at camp were teasing her about her ears. They are large and they stick out from her head. Can you tell me how otoplasty can fix them and what the scarring will be like afterward?
Answer:
She is a very good age for an otoplasty. Generally we wait until just after age 5. The scars hide very nicely in the crease behind the ears.
