Prominent Ears

Prominent ears are the result of an underdeveloped antihelical fold, conchal hypertrophy (large bowl of the ear), or a combination of the two problems. The treatment of prominent ears is to have otoplasty performed. This procedure is done on patients around 5-7 years of age. At this age, the majority of ear growth is completed and the children start to become self-conscious about the appearance of their ears.

Otoplasty Surgery for Children

The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis and takes around two hours to complete. The operation is performed completely from behind the ear so that there are no visible scars present. The resulting scar is in the crease behind the ear.

What I really like about Dr. Sundine is his vast experience and training. I also like the fact he did not try to sell me other procedures. He is also very down to earth and easy to talk to. I am very satisfied with the results and I highly recommend him.

After much research and multiple visits to other surgeons, I knew right away that Dr. Sundine was the perfect choice for me. I felt completely confident in his ability from the first visit to the last. I have been singing his praises to all of my friends and will recommend him to anyone searching for a plastic surgeon. Thanks, Dr. Sundine

Dr. Sundine is an excellent plastic surgeon! I have been using his services for almost 5 years. If you want to look years younger and fully refreshed I highly recommend that you use his services. Patients walk out looking naturally gorgeous, not overdone like some of the women in Orange County!

Dr. Sundine is the best plastic surgeon. Dr. Sundine’s excellent skills and knowledge has made my surgery turn out so well. But more importantly, it made me feel better about myself. Again, thank you Dr. Sundine for all you have done for me. You are the best surgeon!

Dr. Sundine is a caring, calm and talented doctor — he is down to earth and has a great demeanor. He made me feel like I was in good hands from the very beginning, and took his time going over things with me. The office manager always made herself available and was warm and kind through the whole process. After breaking my nose and having rhinoplasty 2 months ago, my nose is shaping up to be really nice and already looks pretty much as Dr. Sundine and myself both wanted it to look.
