Aesthetic ear surgery or Otoplasty is a procedure indicated for children and adults whose ears deviate from the normal pattern in shape and size. It is contemplated in people who seek to improve the anatomy of the pinna because of asymmetries, exaggeration in size, excessive separation from the head, lack of definition of its components, sequelae of accidents or trauma, etc..

For many people these anatomical changes can be the cause of inferiority complexes, teasing from family and peers, withdrawn personality as well as deprivation of a personal and social life adequate for optimal human development.
