What are the risks if an otoplasty is not done on time? 

Delaying otoplasty (ear surgery) can pose risks and consequences, such as:

  • Psychological impact: Children or individuals with prominent ears may face teasing and low self-esteem. Timely surgery can boost confidence.
  • Persistent self-esteem issues: Delaying surgery could perpetuate self-esteem challenges into adulthood, affecting social life.
  • Increased visibility of surgery: Otoplasty is more effective when performed at a younger age, with ears still developing.
  • Missed opportunity for easier correction: Younger cartilage is more pliable, aiding in reshaping and better outcomes.
  • Developmental impact: Delaying medically necessary otoplasty might affect ear function and development.

Consulting with a qualified surgeon is crucial to determine the optimal timing based on individual needs. They can offer personalised advice on the risks and benefits of timely intervention.
