Protruding Ears: Many individuals undergo ear reshaping to correct ears that stick out excessively from the sides of the head. This condition, called "prominent ears," can be caused by an underdeveloped antihelical fold or an overly large conchal bowl (the hollow part of the ear).

The ears are bandaged to protect them during the healing process. Mild pain, swelling, and discomfort are common post-surgery, with recovery time usually lasting 1-2 weeks. Aftercare includes avoiding pressure on the ears and wearing a protective headband while sleeping.
