The most common deformity in the ear is called "scoop ear" or "sail ear" among the people. Due to the weakness of the ear cartilages, the ear folds are not formed sufficiently, and the condition where the auricle is curved forward and laterally than normal is called "scoop ear". The main reason is that the ears are too far from the posterior ear bone at an angle. This is usually a familial deformity.
Ear aesthetic or saying it medically, “Otoplasty” is a cosmetic surgical procedure. People may have otoplasty if they have aesthetic concerns about their ears from a birth defect like a prominent ear or an accident. Otoplasty can be carried out at any age, but usually after five years old.
Ear aesthetic is a procedure in which the shape, size, and position of the ears are changed by the surgeon. People may consider having an otoplasty from how far your ears stick from your head. There are other reasons to have this surgery such as misshapen ears.
