Our ears are as individual as we are. We all have different sized heads and what are considered to be large or protruding ears on one person wouldn’t be noticeable on another.
Ears that are large or stick out are a common cause for teasing in childhood and social embarrassment in adult life.
Many people who are considered to have prominent ears have had them since birth. They’re not considered a problem unless they impact on self-confidence as there isn’t any known effect on hearing or general health.
One of the main causes of sticky out ears is what’s called an underdeveloped antihelical fold. When you look into the ear, the outer part forms the shape of the letter ‘C’.

In addition, like all of our physical features, sticky out ears often run in families. They can, however, randomly appear in one member of a family.
Pinnaplasty surgery is a cosmetic procedure designed to reshape and reposition sticky out ears. This surgery can correct a range of ear-related concerns, including reducing the prominence of ears that stick out, reshaping ear tips, and addressing asymmetrical ears.
