Otoplasty (ear surgery)

I'm considering getting otoplasty. My ears are two completely diffrent shapes and sizes and have caused me alot of self esteem issues since I was very young. Does anyone have any experience with this procedure?

Ear surgery, likewise called otoplasty, is a surgical system intended to enhance the presence of noticeable or projecting ears. It is one of only a handful couple of corrective surgeries that can be performed on youngsters, since an individual's ears normally quit developing by age five. Kids and grown-ups with extremely projecting ears are regularly the subject of relentless prodding by their companions, bringing about mental anxiety and mental anguish

Leah-- my daughter had this procedure done when she was 9 years old in Mexico because I have family there, this was six years ago and she is still thanking me.  It is so important to be comfortable with your looks and the procedure is surprisingly straightforward.  Hopefully your insurance covers this.
