Question:
My ears droop. It is more noticeable now than when I was younger. I am male, 41 years old and keep my hair short. Can otoplasty be used to lift them permanently?
Answer:
It is difficult to tell exactly what you mean by “droop”, but the common occurrence with age is that the ear lobes elongate. If this is the case they can easily be reduced by removing a portion of the earlobe with a minor surgical procedure.
