“Lop-eared bear”, “ears like propellers” and other teasers were and are very popular at school. In every class there is a child with protruding ears that are larger than those of his classmates. Such standing out from others often ruins children’s lives.

It all starts from school, when children begin to understand that someone is better, someone is more beautiful, and someone is not like everyone else. A child may differ in figure, gait, or even teeth. But the problem of protruding ears caused a lot of bullying.

Parents are looking for ways to rid their child of complexes. Some people buy special Velcro that makes the ears fit tightly to the head. Others try to solve the problem at home. There are also those who do not consider it necessary to pay attention to this issue. Subsequently, their children grow up lacking self-confidence.

In some countries, protruding ears, on the contrary, are considered the standard of beauty. For example, in Japan, a woman whose ears stick out is valued. This raises her status and inspires admiration. They are even considered special. Therefore, Japanese women extremely rarely look for correction methods.

Of course, there are those who use their shortcomings for good. They are even proud and highlight flaws in any way possible. For such confidence, it is important to love yourself and. There are only 8% of 100 people like this. Imagine this figure. Out of a hundred people you know, only eight are able to swim against the current.

For those who are not among the chosen eight, we have put together a number of recommendations that will help solve the problem.

Press to the top of the head

You need to buy a small rubber band or elastic bandage. At night, secure it around your head so that your ears are pressed to the top of your head. This way they will “learn” to keep in shape.

Also, up to 6 months, the baby can wear a special silicone mold in the shell, which will correct the ear.

If the problem is in an adult, an elastic band will not help. The form has already formed and it is incorrigible without surgery. Pharmacies sell silicone molds or Velcro, but they will not remove the protrusion.

We must not forget that protruding ears often occur due to abnormal intrauterine development.

You can try this method at night. Before going to bed, it is advisable to lubricate your ears with cream so that the headscarf does not rub. Try not to sleep on your side to avoid putting pressure on your ear.

Disguise

If for some reason you are not ready for surgery, try hiding your ears. Yes, just hide it. Of course, this will not save you from the “Cheburashka syndrome”. But if no one focuses on the flaws in appearance, you yourself will be much calmer about it.

How to hide

Change your hairstyle to a bob with long strands, a bob or a Greek-style haircut. By the way, if you have naturally curly hair, you can choose a short haircut, covering your ears with curls

Mothers can give their children similar hairstyles from an early age. Such a wise approach to the decision will help the child feel comfortable at school. Yes, you will not save him from protruding ears. But a neat, corrective haircut will help the child to be confident in society.

Of course, hairstyle is not a panacea. There are people who prefer to wear caps, hats and hats. There are also those who constantly walk around with their hair down, trying to cover their face with strands. But no one is safe from the wind. Yes, and hats sometimes need to be removed. Therefore, we do not recommend these explicit methods for regular use.

Accessories

And so you changed your image. Once you have decided on your hairstyle, wear a bandana at home regularly. To consolidate your acquired self-confidence, we advise you to pay attention to various accessories.

Wear beads, neckerchiefs, long earrings, studs, scarves. Any noticeable thing on the neck or décolleté will automatically attract attention. This will distract your eyes from your hidden ears.

Just accept it

• The well-known handsome man Brad Pitt suffered from ridicule. His ears were thoroughly discussed among his classmates. The children laughed at his shortcoming, and he often suffered because of it.
• Beyoncé also considered this her main problem. She often heard ridicule and mockery directed at her. But they grew up and realized that school complexes play absolutely no role in adult life. Their success, fees and happy family life have nothing to do with the shape of the ears.
• Recently, Ukrainian singer Maria Yaremchuk appeared in public for the first time with a ponytail hairstyle. Journalists immediately drew attention to her protruding ears. The singer said that she was tired of hiding her disability. Imagine, every time she went out, she carefully styled her hair, trying to cover her face and ears with strands.

Being afraid to turn your head, trembling from gusts of wind is not an option.

Do you know the name Brigitte Bardot? This woman has changed the understanding of female beauty. Crooked teeth, locator ears, irregular shape lips Her childhood years were spent in complexes and tears. But only self-confidence helped me to love my appearance and allow myself to free myself from negativity. Look at her photo. It was Bridget who managed to change the world's attitude towards female ideals.

You should never compare yourself to others. Some people have ugly fingers, others are obese. Everyone can find a dozen shortcomings in themselves. Small flaws can always turn into huge problems. Perhaps your protruding ears are just your additional trump card...

All people are different. Some nature has endowed with huge expressive eyes, others were lucky with sensual plump lips, others became the owners of lush thick hair- each of us is beautiful in our own way, although we don’t always admit it. What should those who think that they are far from ideal do? That his legs are crooked, his ears are crooked and, in general, even in the Kunstkamera the exhibits are prettier? Let's break stereotypes together.

Instead of an introduction

Let's start with the fact that the shape of the ears is something that can be inherited, but at the same time a number of researchers notice: sometimes there is no connection in this regard between the child and his parents. That is why it is difficult to say what exactly affects it; we only know that it is determined in the third month of pregnancy. The main thing is that this does not affect either hearing or general well-being, so ears or tiny ears are a purely aesthetic issue. Of course, both the first and second have their advantages and disadvantages: small ears are problematic to pierce, for example, and for large ones you will have to tinker with your hair to hide them. So whatever size yours are ears- this is not a reason to worry, right?

Like Buddha!

Have you ever noticed that in Chinese engravings and paintings the Buddha has very big ears? Legends say that the enlightened one was so attracted to him because of the massive jewelry he wore as a prince. So, if you are the owner of large lobes, you can proudly say that you are a descendant of the prince-founder of one of the world's religions.

Physiognomy

Well, now let's get serious. There is such a science as physiognomy. She studies the relationship between a person's appearance and his character. Experts in this industry will easily prove that if you are the owner, you are quite likely a potential genius. So, according to physiognomy, ears are a truly mystical part of the body: they tell about a person’s fate, and not about his character, like other parts of the body. For example, ears with a clear shape show that in a person’s childhood everything was light and calm, the environment at home was favorable for his development. And if top part ear, very cartilage, above the level of the eyebrows - in front of you is a real genius who is doomed to financial and career success.

Physiognomy about headbands and sizes

Physiognomists also discuss the importance of having a rim in the upper part of the ear - a cartilage inversion, as doctors call it. If it is not there, a person will have to fight for everything in his life, nothing that he so desires will be given to him easily. People with large ears, especially if these ears are proportional to the face as a whole, can count on a happy and calm life, but woe to those whom nature has endowed with overly large ears - experts believe that the owners of such ears are vain, narcissistic, and generally difficult call them nice people. Tiny ears are a sign of limitations, even some slow-wittedness and passivity. And small ears with a not very beautiful rim on top - a clear sign traitor and cunning. And even those who seem so because of the massive headband, which has already been mentioned many, many times, are not so bad: according to the Chinese, people with this shape of the auricle are brave, straightforward, they are real fighters who, if desired, will rolled up Owners of large but drooping ears are not so lucky - they are said to be extremely stubborn, and this only gets worse with age.

So, according to physiognomy, a person who has large ears with rounded lobes and neat rims is simply doomed to happy life. Envy, owners of tiny, treacherous ears!

Stars with big ears

Let us now move on to more serious issues. Whatever Chinese physiognomists believe, for some, large ears are a real problem, causing a whole series of complexes. And the most offensive thing is that there is no way to correct the situation on your own, you can only mask the offensive defect with your hairstyles or simply try not to pay attention to it. Of course, you can talk as much as you like about famous people, for whom Mother Nature has not been stingy with her ears: what is Barack Obama worth, the President of the United States, who, by the way, not so long ago complained in an interview that his wife and daughters often tease him because of his big ears. The list of stars who are not at all shy about their ears includes Miley Cyrus, Emma Watson, Channing Tatum, Will Smith, Daniel Craig and many others. As you can see, ear size does not at all hinder a successful career, even in such a capricious field as show business.

Some more medical theories

Some doctors believe that the size of the ears is directly proportional to the size of the kidneys. And the larger the latter, the better for our body, the better they are excreted excess fluids, the body as a whole is cleansed, and in general, there are many different benefits. And the biggest of them is almost a direct dependence on life expectancy. According to the results of an analysis by one famous researcher, almost ninety percent of centenarians have large ears. So here it is - another plus in favor of big ears.

Now let's get serious

Let's move on to dry medicine. The question of why ears are big is very difficult to answer. This can also be associated with the problem of protruding ears - a disease with medical point sight, it doesn’t count, but it’s not pleasant either. Prominent ears are considered to be an increase in the angle of deviation from the head, translating from scientific language into generally accepted language, this is when the ears protrude a little. The fact is that this can still be corrected up to one and a half months - at this time the cartilage of a newborn is soft, that is, if you fix the ears in the desired position, their shape can still be changed. Typically, the occurrence of this problem is associated with peculiarities in the development of ear cartilage.

At a later age, surgery is no longer possible. However, you will have to wait until the child is seven or eight years old - it is at this age that the formation of the facial skeleton ends. The operation is not at all complicated, complications after it are extremely rare, but it also has its own characteristics.

Otoplasty

Surgery to change the shape of the ears is called otoplasty. A distinction is made between aesthetic and reconstructive surgery. The first type is aimed at correcting aesthetic defects, while the second is more associated with the correction of pathologies of the auricles. The complexity of otoplasty varies from the simple removal of excess skin, which does not allow the ear to fit tightly to the head, to serious correction of both the rims of the ears and their lobes. Usually the operation is performed under local anesthesia, although in particularly difficult cases general anesthesia is also used, so the presence of an experienced anesthesiologist is mandatory. The surgeon makes an incision where the ear meets the head, after which he begins to remove cartilage and skin tissue, forming the angle necessary for the patient (this is to correct protruding ears) or corrects the lobes and cartilage themselves. After surgery within four days you will have to wear a turban bandage, and on the tenth day you will need to remove the stitches. You can forget about washing your hair after otoplasty for a week, and swelling will last for another two to two and a half weeks.

Contraindications for this type surgical intervention the same as for other operations: poor blood clotting, infectious diseases. Problems that may arise after otoplasty include blood poisoning, allergies to anesthesia, infection at the incision site - the same as with other operations. Specific complications include an unsatisfactory result for the patient - incomplete correction, for example, or asymmetry that arose as a result of the surgeon’s work and manifested itself during the recovery process, but, of course, everything here depends on the doctor. The average cost of an operation is a thousand dollars, but saving on your health is probably stupid and wrong. In addition, such an operation will not only help correct physical deficiencies, it will also destroy a number of complexes associated with them. And then the question of whether your ears are big or small will stop worrying you.

A little research

But you should always think carefully before deciding on any operation - there are always risks. Scientists have also proven that for many people with large ears seem more attractive and reliable. An experiment was conducted at one of the Swiss universities in which a group of volunteers were asked to rate on a five-point scale children who would like to reduce their ears through otoplasty. In the proposed photographs, some of the ears were actually reduced, albeit through photo correction, while the rest remained as they really were. According to the results of the experiment, the highest scores for intelligence, diligence and attractiveness were received by children whose ears were larger than those of others. So, it is likely that the size of the ears does not at all affect the perception of a person by others; moreover, large ears evoke much more positive emotions.

Finally

Almost every person sincerely believes that he is far from perfect. If desired, even the most beautiful and most attractive can find flaws in themselves. There is always something to complain about. But sometimes our problems are so far-fetched and so insignificant that they are not even worth mentioning. Today, almost any physical defect can be corrected surgically. But it’s better to think again about whether the game is worth the candle. It's not about whether you are beautiful or not, it's about how you perceive yourself. And if you are still worried about the problem of ear size, then look at the fennec cat - he has the biggest ears in the world, and he doesn’t worry about it at all!

Live in harmony with yourself, this is the main thing.

Prominent ears are a fairly common cosmetic defect. This congenital feature, which is formed in the fetus already during intrauterine development. From a medical point of view, it is possible to radically correct protruding ears in adulthood only surgically. However, many people are interested in whether there is any way to get rid of this problem without surgery.

Correcting protruding ears without surgery

Correcting protruding ears is best started immediately after the birth of the child. If parents do not ignore this problem, it can be eliminated without surgery. Up to 6 months, the baby's auricle is fixed in correct position using a special silicone mold. The baby needs to wear such a clip for six months. Since cartilage tissue is infant can be corrected, the problem of protruding ears is solved painlessly and effectively.

It is possible to remove or slightly reduce protruding ears if the child is no more than 5–7 years old

To do this, you should constantly put on him, including at night, a special elastic bandage, a tennis elastic band, a scarf or a thin dense cap that will press his ears tightly to his head. If conservative methods do not help correct protruding ears in a child, this problem can only be eliminated through surgical intervention.

Protruding ears: how to hide this defect with a hairstyle

If you want to get rid of protruding ears at a later age, then the only non-surgical way in this case is an appropriate hairstyle. Of course, it is impossible to eliminate the problem in this way, but a properly chosen hairstyle will allow you to hide your protruding ears.

In order to hide protruding ears, you should not use tape or adhesive tape. You will constantly feel tension around your ears and be tense. Moreover, from frequent use such products will cause irritation on the skin

There are various hairstyles, the styling principle of which is based on the extension from the crown to the ears. The length of the haircut is not particularly important, since the main task is to hide protruding ears. For a short haircut, semi-long asymmetry, a regular bob or a cap model are suitable, which will not only visually hide problem areas, but will also make you look fashionable and stylish.

However, the haircut should not be too short, because... hair should cover your ears at least halfway

You can hide protruding ears using long hair. To do this, place your hair in a ponytail or braid not at the back of the head, but slightly lower. This way, the hair around the ears will lie freely and cover part of them. You can also leave a few strands of hair loose around your temples to hide the side of your face. If you like to wear a high ponytail or bun, leave some of the hair at the temples free, and after creating the hairstyle, secure the strands on the sides of the back of the head so that they hide the top protruding part of the ears.

An excellent haircut option that hides protruding ears is graduation

Strands cut along an oblique line can be laid outward or inward, covering the ears. In this case, the hair will fall down the sides of the face. On straight hair, you should also curl the ends inward using a round brush. Curly hair flows down naturally.

In addition to the hairstyle, you can hide protruding ears with the help of a headdress - a baseball cap, scarf, bandana, hat with a tight elastic band, as well as a fashionable headband.

Surgery – correction of protruding ears

Surgery to correct the shape and size of the ear is called otoplasty. However, it has some limitations, for example, this operation cannot be performed on children under 6–7 years old. Before reaching this age, the ear and its tissues grow and form.

The duration of the operation is a maximum of 50–60 minutes. During otoplasty, an incision is made in the area back surface auricle, and therefore postoperative scars will be invisible. Moreover, self-absorbing sutures are now used, which do not need to be removed after surgery. Discharge from the hospital occurs in children after a day, and in adults - after a few hours.

Large ears, or rather, large auricles, are considered an anomaly of the development of the body, in medicine called macrotia; this cosmetic defect in most cases does not affect a person’s hearing abilities in any way. Large ears disrupt the proportions of the face, and therefore their owner, as a rule, suffers from the ridicule of others since childhood, especially if macrotia is complemented by asymmetry, protrusion (protruding ears), or. Correct the defect using surgery, called, you can do it in childhood and in the future you will not experience complexes about your own appearance, which often develop in people with large ears.

Reference. When we say “ear,” we mean the pinna, which consists of cartilage tissue, intricately curved in the shape of a funnel.

In the lower part, a soft part, the lobe, adjoins the cartilage, and the entire “structure” is covered with skin and looks like a single whole. Outer ear protects hearing aid, conducts and amplifies acoustic vibrations, and also highlights the sound source. Main criterion big ear- this is its disproportion in relation to the rest of the head and body, although there are specific guidelines:

• a woman’s ear is considered large if its length is more than 77 mm and its width is more than 45 mm;
• A man's ear is considered large if its length is more than 82 mm and its width is more than 52 mm.

People with large ears do not always actually have a developmental anomaly - often the defect turns out to be visual, for example, the auricle, which has a flat shape and slightly pronounced folds, looks larger than a voluminous and prominent ear of the same size.

Types of large ears and correction techniques

Giant ear It has correct form, that is, all areas of the auricle are increased proportionally. With this form of defect, reduction otoplasty is performed, that is, a wedge-shaped area is excised through the entire plane of the ear. Give ear volumetric form it is possible if the surfaces of the cuts are precisely aligned and connected with seams. However, this cannot always be done, and then two more small wedge-shaped incisions are made (the result is a five-pointed figure). If the operation is performed correctly, then it leaves thin, almost invisible scars located along the edge of the ear.

In addition, people with large ears are given surgical correction, excising strips of cartilage tissue; This operation (it is called figure surgery, it is ideal for people whose edge of the ear has a flat shape) allows you to bend the edge of the auricle inward, so the seams are practically invisible, the integrity back wall preserved, and the ear has a natural appearance.

In some cases, it is advisable to remove part of the cartilage under the helix (the incision is made from the beginning of the lobe to highest point ear). This technique is good because the stitches are made under the ear fold and are impossible to see.

The described techniques allow you to uniformly reduce the large ear normal shape, while doing it as aesthetically as possible due to the absence of noticeable scars.

Extensive shell cavity(funnel) is corrected during the operation, while the doctor removes excess cartilage tissue and, if necessary, creates a fold.

Big lobe can be either a congenital or acquired defect. In youth, a large earlobe (a lobe whose length is more than 20% of the entire length of the ear) usually does not cause any inconvenience. However, with age, there is less fatty tissue in the lobe, and the skin loses its elasticity, so the lower part of the ear sags, and signs of aging appear on it - wrinkles and creases. Surgery to reduce a lobe that is too large by nature is performed quite rarely; in most cases, plastic surgery is performed on older patients in order to rejuvenate this rather significant area in a person’s life. Let's not forget that it is an erogenous zone, and in addition, earrings are usually worn in the lower part of the ear, that is, the attention of others is deliberately attracted to it.

Another reason to contact plastic surgeon - this is the desire to get rid of the once fashionable, but with age, “tunnels” that have lost their relevance. Corrective surgery lasts no more than 20 minutes, during which the doctor removes excess tissue, forms a new lobe, and then applies stitches. By the way, large earlobes among the peoples of Africa are considered a source of pride and a standard of beauty, so they are specially pulled to monstrous sizes.

How to make your ears smaller

As already mentioned, the only way to really change the size and shape of your ears is through surgery. Otoplasty is performed on children from the age of six, but at this age large ears are not corrected; only malformations and deformations of the auricles are corrected. The formation of the ears ends by the age of 15, and after that it is possible to reduce the ears surgically; For adult patients wishing to reduce large ears, there are no age restrictions.

People with, first of all, should contact a plastic surgeon who, using computer modeling, will demonstrate how the ears will look after surgery performed under local anesthesia in adults and general - in children. In addition to the traditional procedure of excision of excess cartilage tissue and skin, at the patient’s request, laser otoplasty is performed - a painless and bloodless manipulation with almost no complications.

How much does it cost to correct large ears?

The cost of large ear reduction depends on the qualifications of the specialist, the complexity of the defect, the surgical technique used and the type of anesthesia (local or general).

How to hide big ears

Sometimes a person is sincerely mistaken, blaming his ears for all his misfortunes, because even large ears can harmoniously complement the image and there is no need to radically change their size and shape. Don't know what to do if your ears are big? Here are some tips:

Choose matching earrings. It is believed that small earrings balance out large ears, but an equally popular opinion is that “a wedge is knocked out with a wedge,” and people with large ears should wear large earrings, or even better, cuffs (original ear jewelry located along the entire plane of the auricle).

Get your hair done type of bob or wear long curls, which not only hide the defect, but also distract attention from the “protruding” part of the head. Also use all kinds of headbands and hats - these accessories will not only hide your ears, but also, if chosen correctly, will make your look stylish.

Wear glasses, even if you can see perfectly. There are accessories on sale that do not provide therapeutic effect- you can wear them without fear of damaging your eyesight. Glasses, especially those with beautiful frames that suit your face type, will draw attention to your eyes and distract from big ears. By the way, turn your attention - great idea, for the implementation of which both jewelry and bright clothes are suitable.

Use decorative cosmetics. The essence of the technique is still the same - to divert attention from the ears to the face; a technique such as “face sculpting” is well suited for this: a foundation two shades darker is applied along the outer contour of the face, and central part covered with a foundation one or two shades lighter than the natural skin color (the border is carefully shaded). A little dark though foundation It is recommended to apply to the ears.

Try using ear correctors. This advice is suitable for people with large ears that do not lie close to the head (protruding or protruding ears). The corrector is a double piece of transparent silicone that is attached simultaneously to both the ear and the scalp. If you wear one constantly, the cartilage adapts to the new position and gradually presses against the head. The method is not unambiguous, the result depends on the softness of the cartilage and the structural features of the auricle, and in addition, it requires time - we can talk about a lasting result no earlier than six months later. The most popular brands of correctors are Arilis (Russia), Mairs (Russia), Otostick (“Stop Ushastik”, Spain).

The main thing about big ears

Video: What your ears tell you about (E. Malysheva, “Life is great!”)

The normal distance from the ears to the skull is no more than 30⁰. If it is larger, then you fall into the category of people whose ears stick out. About 50% of the population of our planet is familiar with this problem firsthand, but this defect can cause a minimum of discomfort if it is not too noticeable. When the ears protrude very much, and it cannot be hidden or disguised, complexes appear and the problem must be eliminated.

Many people wonder whether protruding ears are inherited? It has been scientifically proven that this defect may be genetic or appear as a result of an intrauterine disorder in the development of the ears. At the same time, it is not necessary that the mother or father have protruding ears; you can even get such a “legacy” from distant relatives. It is for this reason that the defect occurs in almost half of the planet's inhabitants.

Degrees of Deviation

Prominent ears in children, the causes of which may be related to genetics or abnormal development inside the womb, are divided into 3 degrees:

1. Between ear and cranium an angle from 31 to 45⁰ is formed.
2. An angle of 46 to 90⁰ is formed between the ear and the skull.
3. An angle of more than 91⁰ is formed between the ear and the skull.

Most often, both ears protrude almost equally, but it also happens that one of them fits more to the head, and the other less. In this case, the problem is especially noticeable.

When to start correction

The aesthetic defect is visible to the naked eye from the very birth of the child. The sooner you start working on eliminating it, the better your chances of getting desired result. Before correcting protruding ears in an infant, you need to consult an otolaryngologist. The doctor must confirm that the baby does not have hearing problems, infections or other diseases that may worsen during the correction.

Special ear pads - the most effective and painless way eliminating protruding ears. They are made of silicone and must be worn constantly. The material is hypoallergenic and very elastic, so it does not cause any harm to the baby. discomfort, but fixes the ears in the correct position and helps correct the defect.

You need to wear such pads until the child turns 6 months old - in the first six months the cartilage is the most flexible, and therefore can be easily corrected.

Important! Some parents use medical tape or double-sided tape to glue the ears to the head, but this is extremely dangerous. These materials cause irritation to the baby's delicate skin, so it is better not to use them.

Tight-fitting scarves and hats should also not be worn on the baby - this will cause him discomfort and may even negatively affect the development of hearing.

Elimination of the defect after six months

If you did not pay due attention to your baby’s problem in time, then after six months it will be quite difficult to eliminate it without surgery. Before correcting protruding ears in a child, you need to realistically assess the degree of deformation. If the ears do not protrude very much, then you can choose a suitable hairstyle; in some cases, the hair hides the defect very well.

You can also purchase special correctors that can be used to “glue” your ears to your head. They are made of silicone, hypoallergenic glue is applied to them, so the child will not feel irritation or discomfort.

Advantages of silicone correctors:

• health safety;
• invisibility to others, small transparent plates are not visible behind the ears;
• effectiveness - the result is noticeable immediately after fixing;
• comfortable to wear - with correctors you can swim in artificial and natural reservoirs, one pair is enough for 7 days.

However, this method will only mask the problem or correct it to a minor extent.

Correction of ear cartilage is possible up to 6-7 years, while they are still forming; after this age, conservative methods of eliminating the defect are completely ineffective.

There is only one reliable way to eliminate the problem, which helps to remove protruding ears at any age 100%, this is otoplasty. The operation is considered simple, it is performed under local or general anesthesia. Depending on the degree of the defect, it lasts from half an hour to 2 hours. Rehabilitation period It also goes away easily in 2-3 weeks. During this time, the patient may experience some discomfort and must wear a special bandage.

Otoplasty is allowed from the age of 6-7 years, when the ears are already fully formed and the degree of their deformation can be fully assessed. Before removing protruding ears, the patient undergoes an examination and undergoes a series of tests to completely eliminate possible complications.

Just a few hours after surgery, you can go home, but you need to visit a doctor periodically to be sure that the healing process of the sutures is proceeding correctly.

Advantages of the operation:

• 100% guarantee that the defect will be eliminated;
• relatively low cost;
• minimal number of contraindications;
• the ability to correct protruding ears at any age;
• simple and short rehabilitation period;
• maintaining the results for life.

Drawing conclusions

If you discover that your child has aesthetic problems, you need to solve them as quickly as possible. Only up to six months there is a chance that protruding ears will be corrected conservative methods will give good results. In the future, the defect can only be masked or corrected to a minor extent. The operation is a guarantee that all problems will be eliminated; it will help quickly get rid of the deficiency.

Those who do not dare to undergo otoplasty or have contraindications to it can only hide their protruding ears with the help of special hairstyles, silicone correctors, hats or accessories.

If you don't have the opportunity to have surgery, learn to love yourself and your ears as they are, perceive your deficiency as a feature, and you will notice how much more confident you will feel.
