Ears
Many of you may not remember the boy in “Our Gang” who was teased because his ears REALLY stuck out. There is a procedure to correct this called an otoplasty.
An otoplasty involves the reshaping or removal of cartilage behind the ears to minimize protrusion. A small incision is made behind the ear, and the ear is moved closed to the head. To reshape both ears takes about 90 minutes and costs about $3,000. Sometimes the surgery is only required on one ear.
Dr. Evans told me he had a 10 year old patient last year and HE wanted the otoplasty because he was being teased by kids at school and it was affecting him both emotionally and scholastically.
