Considering all the features of the face,  the ears are rarely even noticed.  Unless, of course you have prominent ears that stick out from the sides of your head.  For those who have ears that are out of proportion with the rest of their features, plastic surgeons have created Otoplasty surgery.

Typically, the procedure is performed on children ages 4 to 14, as it is important to perform the surgery as early as possible, to prevent teasing from other children, which can be emotionally stressful to the child.  However, ear surgery can be performed – with no additional risks involved – on adult patients as well.

The Otoplasty procedure surgically sets the ears back against the sides of the head, so the protrusion is minimized and the ears are brought to a normative position.
