What Are Protruding Ears?
Protruding ears refer to ears that extend outward farther from the head than typical, often due to underdeveloped ear folds or excess cartilage structure. This condition is commonly genetic and may affect one or both ears. While protruding ears are not medically harmful, they can create facial imbalance and increased ear prominence, especially from frontal views. In some cases, asymmetry may also be present. Treatment focuses on repositioning and reshaping the ears to create a more proportionate and natural contour.
Signs & Symptoms of Protruding Ears
- Ears that noticeably extend away from the head.
