Ear surgery, also known as otoplasty — can improve the shape, position or proportion of the ear. It can correct a defect in the ear structure that is present at birth that becomes apparent with development or it can treat misshapen ears caused by injury.
The surgery can be done by the end of the growth of the ear that is to say from the age of 7 or 8 years.

This surgery, for aesthetic purposes, intended to reshape the helix.
The ear surgery is done under local anesthesia in an outpatient visit.

The incision is made behind the ears. The surgeon cut rasp cartilage and eventually the muscle behind the ears. Then he made the folding of the cartilage and the insertion of the shell (flag cavity).

Resumption of normal activity after 5 days. The final result of otoplasty is 3 to 6 months after surgery.

Also fissures due to earrings can be treated surgically by simple closure of the two ends.
