It can be psychologically harmful for children and adolescents to become a point of undue attention throughout developing years. Consequently, ear correction surgery is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures provided to children.

Results
This procedure can provide excellent results. The results will initially be obscured by the pressure bandaging and then the bruising and swelling. It can take 7 to 14 days for the initial swelling and bruising to settle to an acceptable appearance. Subtle improvements to the contour of the ear will take place for up to six months. Contact sports should be avoided for 6 weeks following surgery. After surgery the ears may feel sore and uncomfortable.
