Prominent Ears
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Prominent ears are a feature in which the outer ear stands away from the head more than usual and tends to look prominent. They do not affect hearing or represent a health problem, but they may have aesthetic or emotional relevance for the person who has them.
What do they consist of? They are due to the shape of the ear cartilage, frequently present from birth, which causes the ear to project outward.
Why they are consulted about: Many people seek information for aesthetic reasons or because, in childhood, they can cause social discomfort.
Which specialist assesses them? The plastic surgeon is the one who usually evaluates the options to modify their appearance, and in some contexts the general surgeon. If prominent ears are a cause of concern, discussing it with a professional allows alternatives to be learned about and doubts to be resolved with reliable information.
