Hello Interloper!

You should have realistic expectations of an otoplasty or cosmetic ear operation and accept that there are limits as to what ear surgery can achieve physically and emotionally for you or your child.
Most patients who go into the surgery with this positive attitude experience a successful outcome following an otoplasty procedure, which is performed by a skilled surgeon.
Before you have this surgery, you should realise that most people's ears are not perfectly symmetrical or perfect to begin with.
Also, although the results are usually permanent, there is always some small amount of forward movement of the ears after the operation. This is because ear cartilage is very elastic and so the ears will move naturally.
