Do you know what causes and how to treat prominent ears?
Find out in this article.
Protruding ears, popularly known as protruding ears, usually arise due to poor positioning, change in shape or hypertrophy of ear structures. That is, in most cases the ear is not large, it is just further from the head. Ear shape is a genetic condition, so if at least one parent has Protruding ears, it is likely that this trait will be passed on to their offspring.
To understand better, in Protruding ears, the cartilage is very developed in the part that connects it to the skull, which gives the impression that the ears are too far apart from the head and projected to the sides. There are also completely opposite cases, in which the deformation is due to a lack of cartilage fold in the antihelix area, which gives the appearance of an extremely extended and flat ear.
How to treat Protruding ears?
The most suitable solution for correcting protruding ears is surgery. Otoplasty is the surgical technique dedicated to correcting these congenital or acquired ear deformities. This surgery can be performed on patients as young as 7 years old, as the ears are fully developed from that age onwards. Adults can also undergo Otoplasty without any type of restriction.

Testimonials from our patients
Dr. Fátima Baptista Fernandes started taking care of me and I am grateful. After aggressive chemotherapy, the skin on my face lacked elasticity and firmness. The wrinkles were very marked. Looking in the mirror became uncomfortable. I'm looking for myself, without the memory of cancer. And Dr. Fátima Baptista Fernandes has been exceptional to me. Walk slowly, don't rush.
I had surgery in February this year. These are fairy hands from Dr. Fátima Baptista Fernandes and the entire team. Thank you all!
Dr. João is one of the best surgeons I know. I speak from experience because a few years ago the Doctor and his wife did a reconstruction on my stomach which was not easy at all and it was impeccable, which is why I always recommend their names. A year ago I took my bedpan to the Clinic for a breast augmentation and it looked spectacular! They are special people. Friendly, accessible and very aware of the work they do. They are excellent professionals.
Dr. Fátima Baptista Fernandes is a doctor who, in addition to being super cheerful and cheerful, is extremely professional with supreme dedication to her patients and their cases. My husband has been a patient of Dr. Fátima for a few years now... She is his doctor of choice and he won't change it!
