Otoplasty

Otoplasty, commonly referred to as ear surgery, is a cosmetic procedure aimed at reshaping and repositioning the ears to create a more balanced and natural appearance. This surgery is often sought to correct protruding ears or to address other ear irregularities caused by genetics or injury. By reshaping the cartilage, otoplasty can bring the ears closer to the head, enhance facial symmetry, and boost self-confidence. Suitable for both children and adults, otoplasty offers a permanent solution to ear-related aesthetic concerns.

Is otoplasty covered by health insurance?

Medicare and health insurance cover otoplasty in people under 18 years of age when considered medically necessary and specific criteria are met. Following your consultation, Dr Langbart will assess and discuss your eligibility for coverage under Medicare or your health insurance plan.
