Prominent Ear Surgery

At our plastic surgery practice in Denver, prominent ear surgery, technically called otoplasty, tucks the ears back closer to the head giving them a less prominent appearance. This allows you to wear your hair back without concern for over projection of your ears. Men and women—or children—come to our practice for otoplasty from Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, and throughout Colorado.
