Ear Surgery is a type of cosmetic ear surgery that corrects prominent or misshaped ears, sometimes called ‘bat ears.’ Ears an obvious feature of the face and head that others notice when they look at us, and ears that stick out can be the strike of many cruel jokes. Children with protruding ears are particularly prone to bullying. Ear Surgery such as to make a hole in the ear drum, is a common surgery. It is typically paired with the insertion of a typanostomy tube, a tiny tube that is placed in the recently created hole in the ear drum, which allows infectious material to drain from the middle ear. The procedure is performed by an otolaryngologist, also known as an ear, nose and throat physician. Many parents go for for their child to undergo ear correction surgery at an early age. Most aesthetic plastic surgery operations of this type are performed on young people under fourteen, but it is advisable to wait until the child is at least five years old before considering this option. By this time the ears are their full size and the cartilage is properly formed. Results of such aesthetic plastic surgery are generally very good with negligible scarring, and an enhancement in the shape of the ears is visible within two weeks, although healing may continue for several months afterwards.

The laser method of the Myringotomy ear surgery can be performed in a doctor’s office with an ear numbing medication, but the vast majority of procedures are performed in a hospital with general anesthesia.

Depending on the design of the tube, a Myringotomy and tube procedure can allow external ventilation of the middle ear space for weeks, months or even years. Myringotomy with tube insertion is performed for the relief of otitis medium. Pressure equalization tubes, known as tympanostomy or Myringotomy tubes, are usually placed at the time of Myringotomy to stent the eardrum open.
