For those affected, protruding or strongly asymmetrical ears are often a burden. Since the problem usually exists since birth and there is no chance of natural improvement, ear surgery is often performed in childhood. However, many adults who want to have their ears fitted in Berlin also make their way to a plastic and aesthetic surgeon. Different techniques are available depending on the age of the patient. As a general rule, a comprehensive analysis always precedes the recommendation of an operational correction.

In case of protruding ears or ear deformities, earplasty in adults, also known as otoplasty, is helpful as a small measure to eliminate larger problems in the patient’s appearance and self-perception. Although teasing is generally less common in adults, in such cases, an assessment of the patient’s own perception or looks is sufficient to justify an earplasty. Patients have often been toying with the idea for years. Personal circumstances, lack of time due to professional obligations, and also financial considerations can deter those affected from an operation at a young age. Nevertheless, most of the Berlin patients are younger adults or, in some cases, children.
Very young people benefit particulalry well from an earplasty. Teasing on the playground is not rare to hear from the affected persons or their parents. For this reason, health insurance companies are willing to pay for the treatment of children. In this situation it is worthwhile for parents to apply for a certificate together with the plastic surgeon in order to receive a health insurance rebate for their child’s ear pinning. Earplasty, also known as otoplasty, can correct protruding ears on babies and enable affected children to develop their personality without any obstacles.
