A change to the size, shape, or position of your ears can make a bigger difference than you'd expect.
Prominent, asymmetrical, or misshapen ears are often something patients have felt self-conscious about since childhood, even if they've never discussed them openly. Because our team includes board-certified/eligible surgeons with decades of combined experience in facial procedures, we approach ear surgery in Jackson, MS, with the same precision and discretion we bring to any personal concern.
Ear surgery, or otoplasty, is a surgical procedure that reshapes, repositions, or resizes the ears to address concerns like prominent ears that stick out further than average, asymmetry between the two ears, or other structural differences. The procedure can be performed on adults or children old enough for ear cartilage to have mostly finished developing.
