Question:
I’d like to get otoplasty. Are there degrees to how much the ears are pinned back? I don’t want them to be flat against my head, but also don’t want them to stick out as much.
Answer:
There are standard published measurements for the ideal distance an ear should be placed from the side of the head. While these provide a useful guide artistry also is important. Achieving a result that improves the appearance of your ears without making them flat should be able to be achieved with otoplasty surgery.
