Prominent ears result from a congenital condition in which the ear cartilage angle is excessive or overdeveloped, causing the ears to protrude noticeably. This can cause significant social and psychological difficulties, particularly in childhood. Otoplasty surgically reshapes the ear cartilage, repositioning the ears to a natural, proportionate position. Prof. Dr. Cengiz Eser offers personalized otoplasty in Adana, Turkey.

Through an incision behind the ear — not visible from the front — the cartilage is reshaped and secured in its new position.
