Prominent ears can be a huge burden for school children. From that point of view it makes sense to carry out the operation before enrollment. It can be performed at children of 4 years of age under local anaesthesia or, of course, under short anaesthesia. The surgery takes about 30 minutes on each side.
The incision is made on the backside of the ear. The ear cartilage will be given its natural shape by corresponding treatment and a special suturing. The skin surplus will be removed meagerly and the wound closed with a reabsorbing thread.
