\"mans<\/a>If your ears were malformed at birth or you have suffered a traumatic injury, it can affect your self-esteem. You can improve the size, shape, and proportion of your outer ears with otoplasty<\/a>. This cosmetic surgery can rebuild your ear structure so you can restore your confidence. Although you would like to start the process of reconstructive ear surgery, you still have plenty of questions. Dr. Gary G. Wiesman is a Chicago Otoplasty specialist board certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery<\/em> and the Board of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery<\/em>.\u00a0 Dr. Wiesman answers the most frequently asked questions below:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

What age can you\nget otoplasty?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many forms of cosmetic surgery require\nyou to be of a certain age before you can undergo the procedure. This is not so\nwith otoplasty. In fact, it is recommended to have this surgery before children\nstart school to prevent hurtful bullying or teasing over protruding ears. This\nreconstructive surgery can also be performed on adults.  Patients of all ages who have prominent ears\nare welcome at my practice.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is otoplasty covered by\ninsurance?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your medical insurance may cover the treatment under certain circumstances; however, if it is only performed for cosmetic purposes, it will not be included in your benefits. If your insurance does not cover the treatment, there are several ways to keep your procedure affordable. We accept a variety of payment options, including all major credit cards. We also offer third-party financing with CareCredit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is otoplasty only\nfor protruding ears?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"womans<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Otoplasty is commonly performed to\ncorrect protruding ears, but that is not the only reason for this procedure. It\ncan correct certain birth defects, like folded or cupped ears (commonly\nreferred to as ‘cauliflower’ ears). It can also improve the size of smaller- or\nlarger-than-average ears. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the\nbenefits of otoplasty?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You will enjoy immediate benefits when\nchoosing otoplasty to enhance the appearance of your outer ears. You will no\nlonger need to hide your ears under your hair or a hat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As one of the safest surgical\nprocedures, you can rest assured that you are making an excellent investment in\nyour self-esteem using an approved treatment. There is no need to worry about\nvisible scars because Dr. Wiesman specializes in ear surgeries to give you the\nbest results possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
