Most people's ears lie at an angle of 15 degrees from the head. In some cases, though, the ears stand out at a greater angle and appear more prominent than they should.
If you were born with prominent ears you were probably teased about them as a child. As an adult, you may try to cover them by wearing your hair long.
In newborns, prominent or "bat" ears may be corrected by gently taping the ears to the side of the head or by having the baby wear a cap. If the problem is not dealt with in infancy, however, it can only be corrected by surgery. Ears attain 80% of their final size by age four and it is quite safe to carry out ear surgery from that age onwards.
Surgery to correct prominent ears is one of the most common and satisfying forms of aesthetic surgery. The results are usually excellent and lasting, giving patients a natural appearance and increased confidence.
