Surgery to correct the deformities and defects of the auricle
Otoplasty (Greek: οὖς, oûs, "ear" + πλάσσειν, plássein, "to shape") is a procedure for correcting the deformities and defects of the auricle (external ear), whether these defects are congenital conditions (e.g. microtia, anotia, etc.) or caused by trauma.[1] Otoplastic surgeons may reshape, move, or augment the cartilaginous support framework of the auricle to correct these defects.
Congenital ear deformities occasionally overlap with other medical conditions (e.g. Treacher Collins syndrome and hemifacial microsomia).
