Is is Possible to Have Ear Surgery on Just One Ear?

Correction of the degree of projection of the ear can be surgically altered with a high degree of accuracy and with predictable results.  The surgery is done under local anesthesia.  I often have patients look in the mirror during surgery to assess if they are happy with the position and symmetry of their ears.

Fortunately your friend is not correct. Otoplasty may be performed on one year ear only. It is important to be examined by a well-qualified/experienced surgeon to help you determine the benefits of operating on one or both ears. You should also be aware that despite surgery, the ears will likely not be perfectly matched. Best wishes.

EAr surgery for prominent ears can be performed on one or both ears depending on your preference. However repairing only one ear leads ot a potentially higher rate of unevenesss or asymmetry.
