Prominent ears are one of the most common phenomena innate nature caused by protruding ears. The presence of this defect creates a lot of psychological problems, regardless of age and gender. But this especially affects children who are prone to developing an inferiority complex.
Underdevelopment/smoothness of the antihelix;
- hypertrophy of ear cartilage.
- Narrow pelvis
. Provides compression of the head and adjacent organs when the fetus leaves the womb.
- Incorrect fetal position. Difficult childbirth can result in the child receiving various types of injuries.
- C-section
. During the operation, pressure is applied to the mother's abdomen.
A congenital defect of the ear, when its location in relation to the head does not imply parallelism, but is located at an angle of more than 30 degrees, is called protruding ears. And most often it affects two hearing organs at once, although there are exceptions in the form of protrusion of only one ear with the correct location of the second.
Prominent ears are a consequence of various ear deformities that can manifest themselves in the form of:
Incorrect installation of correctors leads to the formation of diaper rash and scratches.
Applying suitable makeup;
- use of attractive lipstick;
- emphasizing the neckline with a seductive outfit;
- highlighting dimples on the cheeks (blush);
- giving expressiveness to the eyes.
The use of tight elastic bands and patches to fix protruding ears is fraught with consequences: overstrain of the ears and damage to the cartilaginous structures.
Otoplasty involves the use of an instrument (scalpel/laser) and anesthesia (local/general). The duration of the operation is 0.5-2 hours.
During the recovery period, you should adhere to the following recommendations:
Otoplasty does not affect hearing, and its results are assessed by a doctor after six months.
Use of special silicone patches;
- administration of hydrocortisone injections;
- surgical removal.
The bandage is too tight;
- various inflammations, marked by an increase in temperature (antibacterial medications are required).
Otoplasty is performed for up to 1.5 hours using a scalpel or laser. The wounds are sutured with special threads that dissolve within a month. After the operation, a fixing bandage is put on for 5 days. During the first 2 weeks, 3-4 dressings are required, avoid washing your hair.
The postoperative period involves one-time appointment anti-inflammatory drug (Ketonal) and wearing an elastic bandage for 10 days. For the next month, you should use the bandages only while you sleep to avoid injury.
For infants, eliminating protruding ears involves wearing a bandage. At this age, the ear cartilage is soft and flexible, which means it can be deformed. Additionally, protruding ears can be corrected by constantly wearing thick scarves, caps and hats that press the hearing organs to the head.
– a congenital anatomical feature caused by an increase in the angle of distance of the auricle, which is why the ears have a protruding appearance. With protruding ears, the size and shape of the ears are usually within normal limits, and they are located not parallel to the temporal bone, but at an angle close to a straight line. Signs of protruding ears are an increase in the angle of the auricle to the occipital part of the head, a smoothness of the contour of the auricle and antihelix. Such an aesthetic defect often becomes the reason for the formation of psychological complexes and isolation. Correction of protruding ears is carried out by plastic surgeons using traditional or laser otoplasty.
From a medical point of view, protruding ears are considered a severe congenital deformation of the auricle, giving the ears a protruding, protruding appearance. With protruding ears varying degrees almost 50% of people are born with severity, of which there are boys and girls in approximately equal numbers. Since it is easier for girls to hide protruding ears behind long hair, it seems that boys suffer from this defect much more often. It is in children and adolescents that protruding ears cause a lot of emotional distress, forming a “protruding ear complex,” which in adulthood can adversely affect a person’s character and psyche.
Already in the third month of pregnancy, the fetus begins to form and grow the outer ear. In the sixth month, the internal folds and relief of the auricle develop. A deformity such as protruding ears is clearly visible at birth; it is during this period that it is still possible to change the shape of a child’s ears without resorting to surgery. If deformed or protruding ears are fixed in a newborn, they may take on a different shape or position. If before the age of six months the deformed ear has not been given a new position, then the cartilage will stabilize and it will no longer be possible to do without surgical correction.
It is believed that normally the shell of the ear and the head should form an angle of 30°, while the line of the auricle should be strictly parallel to the cheek, and the distance between the edge of the ear and the bones of the skull should be about two centimeters. The contours of the relief of the ear shell, its configuration and clarity are as individual and unique as the pattern on the fingertips.
The deformity may affect one or both ears. The type and degree of deformation in protruding ears are extremely multivariate, which excludes the presence of a single medical tactics to correct this defect.
Correct determination of the position of the protruding ear - important point to plan its correction. Prominent ears can be caused by one or more congenital developmental features of the auricle.
Most often, protruding ears are a consequence of underdevelopment and smoothness of the antihelix - an elevation on the inside of the auricle located parallel to the helix. The smoothness of the antihelix can be manifested by its complete absence or partial lack of expression, when only the upper pole of the auricle is in a protruding position.
Excessive ear protrusion can be caused by the hypertrophied cartilaginous structure of the auricle. It is known that the smoother cartilaginous complexes of the helix and antihelix are usually located on the strong cartilage of the outer ear, and its enlargement leads to protrusion of the entire auricle.
In a normally positioned ear, sometimes the only deformity encountered is protrusion of the lobe, which is caused by hypertrophy of the concha or an unusual shape of the tail of the helix.
Prominent ears can be observed with uniform enlargement of the entire auricle (macrotia). The size of a “normal” ear is highly variable, but sometimes it is disproportionate to the facial skeleton. Such variants of protruding ears are observed in isolated congenital excessive rapid growth ear or with faster growth of one of the halves of the face. Macrotia sometimes occurs with Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis or vascular abnormality.
Many children are born with protruding ears, but this does not mean that their ears will remain protruding throughout their lives. With age, as the bones of the skull enlarge, protruding ears may become less noticeable. The operation can be performed no earlier than 6-8 years of age, if there is a medical opinion that the child suffers from severe protruding ears. Early implementation correction of protruding ears allows you to relieve the child from psychological discomfort and the formation of complexes.
By the time a child reaches this age of 6-8 years, his ears are 90% formed. Adult patients aesthetic correction ears is performed without age restrictions.
Carrying out surgical correction Protruding ears are quite common, and although the operation itself is technically simple, the approach to each patient is chosen individually.
Plastic correction of the ears, aimed at changing their shape, position and size, is called otoplasty in plastic surgery (from the Greek “othos” - ear). Surgical correction of protruding ears is an aesthetic operation, as it is aimed at correcting a defect that does not pose a threat to the health and life of the patient. However, this does not diminish the importance of this operation for a person’s quality of life. If the patient decides to resort to the help of a plastic surgeon, then he internal problems not so insignificant.
Elimination of protruding ears is carried out using the method of otoplasty (or ear surgery). During it, the position of the ears is corrected or a defect of a congenital or post-traumatic nature is eliminated. Despite the fact that otoplasty is not a difficult procedure plastic surgery, it requires precision, high qualifications and practical skills of the surgeon.
The new shape and location of the cartilage are determined in advance by the surgeon, taking into account the patient’s anthropometric data. Under local or general anesthesia, an incision is made behind the fold of the auricle. Then the cartilage is given the shape that will ensure a close fit of the ear to the head. Simultaneously with otoplasty, it is possible to perform combined earlobe plastic surgery. The operation usually takes 30 to 60 minutes and is easily tolerated by patients. Special rollers are placed on the ears to support the new position of the cartilage, and a fixing bandage or bandage is placed on top, which will have to be worn for one month.
In addition to classical otoplasty performed with a surgical scalpel, the laser otoplasty method using a laser scalpel is used, which allows you to model the ear cartilage without leaving marks.
Otoplasty relieves patients not only from protruding ears, but also from complexes and behavioral stereotypes developed over many years. Many patients after acquiring new form ears become more open, sociable, friendly and successful.
Many girls reject small, short-legged suitors and stare at tall, athletically built handsome men. But in vain! Scientists say: little people are strong-willed, purposeful, courageous and achieve a lot in life. You don’t have to go far - many famous businessmen and low growth policies. According to researchers, A person’s appearance is directly related to their internal qualities.
German psychiatrist and psychologist Ernst Kretschmer published the work “Body Structure and Character” at the beginning of the 20th century. In the study, he identified three main types of human body structure and outlined what character traits are characteristic of them. So, according to the scientist, tall and thin asthenics are dreamy and spiritual, and dense hypersthenics are improvident and unnecessary.
And modern psychiatrists, psychologists, and endocrinologists confirm the theory of Ernst Kretschmer - there is a connection between appearance and internal qualities. the site asked psychiatry theorist, professor at the Institute of Psychoanalysis Vadim Rudnev, physiognomist psychologist Artyom Pavlov, and endocrinologist Alexei Kalinchev to tell us how to “read a person like an open book” by appearance. It turns out it's easier than it seems.
“The nose is an outstanding part of the body,” says Artyom Pavlov. Directly and in figuratively words. It can tell a lot about a person's character. IN fiction Often an impressionable and vulnerable young lady has a thin, graceful nose. And this is no coincidence.
People with a thin nose are characterized by a weak psyche (anxiety, dependence on the opinions of others) and high degree hysteria. Such a person can throw a tantrum out of nowhere. His mood often changes,” said Artyom Pavlov.
A thick nose, on the contrary, indicates a strong psyche. Such people may not feel this world too subtly, but they do not worry about trifles.
"Don't stick your a long nose“where it shouldn’t” - this expression has a real background. Experts say: people with big noses- inquisitive, they have a lively mind, pronounced analytical abilities. If a long-nosed person also has a hump on his nose, he is impulsive, sharp and will not allow himself to be offended. A dangerous person.

It also matters where the tip of the nose points. If it's down, you're looking at a closed person who doesn't show his true feelings to anyone. Owners of snub noses, on the contrary, put their experiences on display.
“Grandma, why do you have such big ears?” - asked Little Red Riding Hood in the fairy tale by Charles Perrault. “To hear better, my child,” the wolf answered her.
The fairy tale is a lie, but there is a hint in it. Physiognomists say: those with large ears really hear better, but not the interlocutor, but... themselves. If a person has large ears, he has good intuition. Such an individual knows how to calculate his actions several steps ahead. There are plenty of big-eared people among businessmen and politicians.
It's easy to make jokes about protruding ears. There is only a grain of joke in this joke. According to experts, people with large ears tend to take any information they say at face value. They are more likely than others to become victims of swindlers and swindlers. People with ears pressed to their heads, on the contrary, are like animals preparing to attack. They are always on the alert and sense a catch everywhere.
You can also determine a person’s character by their eyes. Holders big eyes can be either good strategists or infantile dreamers. To “diagnose” a specific person, you need to examine the face as a whole - nose, eyebrows and eyes.
A person's character is related to his height and build. Artyom Pavlov says: the “Napoleon complex” among short people is not fiction, but reality.
When a person has weak anthropometric data - short stature, short limbs - he has increased internal motivation. He strives to prove to himself and others that he is worth something, that he is no worse than others,” said Artyom Pavlov.
Character also depends on the type of figure. If a person (male or female) has broad shoulders and narrow hips, he has a lot of testosterone (male sex hormones). Such people are purposeful, strong-willed, and know how to achieve their goals.
This hormone is responsible for endurance and leadership skills, ambitions. They are the ones that are important for a successful career,” said Alexey Kalinchev.

Another pattern that Dr. Kalinchev notes is that the smaller a woman’s breasts, the more “masculine qualities” she has. Such women are active, aggressive, and strive to dominate. Women with large busts (and wide hips), on the contrary, are soft, passive, and overly emotional.
The doctor jokes about “big busts” in men, which, unfortunately, are becoming more common. Men with an effeminate figure - wide hips, narrow shoulders - are a woman in pants.
Womanish behavior, hysterical. Note that it is not feminine, but feminine. Such men usually play second roles in the family, says the doctor.
Alexey Kalinchev notes: for women of an asthenic body type - they are thin, tall, with undefined hips and bust - they are usually characterized by “emotional instability, excitability, instability and imbalance of neuropsychic processes.”
Such women are often childish, do not want to get married or have children, and have hobbies typical of teenagers,” the doctor noted.
Experts also noticed that people with short legs are open, sociable, sincere in expressing emotions and have a so-called strong sexual constitution - sexually active and liberated.
Professor Vadim Rudnev notes interesting fact- Most mentally ill people have non-standard body sizes.

These are either huge people or very small ones. This makes them different. Mentally healthy people usually medium in size,” the expert said.
He is convinced that the human body and psyche are closely connected. Any mental problems are immediately reflected in appearance. If a person goes crazy, it manifests itself on the face with pallor, bruises under the eyes, and chaotic movements.
Prominent ears are a deformation of the auricle, in most cases congenital. Such the diagnosis is made when the angle of its departure from the head is 31°-90°. Question about possibility non-surgical correction remains open. Prominent ears are not dangerous disease , but it can seriously spoil the patient’s appearance.
Most often, the disease is inherited. It is caused by a specific mutation that can take generations to manifest itself. It is impossible to prevent the development of this form of protruding ears. This kind of defect turns out to be the most difficult to remove.
Sometimes protruding ears occur as a result of abnormal intrauterine development. The auricle of the embryo thickens and bends. It is theoretically possible to prevent such an event, but at the moment there is no technology developed that allows this to be done.
IN in rare cases deformation can occur while the baby is passing through the birth canal. Its likelihood is increased by the use of the jelly method (pressure on the woman’s abdomen), incorrect position of the embryo, and a narrow pelvis.
The development of protruding ears as a result of injuries is also possible. This can happen at any age, but most often it happens before the body reaches adulthood.
An ordinary ENT doctor from a clinic can determine the presence of protruding ears and determine its degree. There are usually no difficulties in diagnosis. Even parents can definitely understand that the child’s ears stick out.
An otolaryngologist will also help you choose a treatment method and monitor the effectiveness of conservative methods. When thinking about surgical correction, the patient must be additionally examined by the specialist who will perform the operation. It is worth discussing with him the optimal angle and shape of the auricle.
In rare cases, as protruding ears develop, sound conduction deteriorates. With a large angle of departure of the shell, the risk may increase. The doctor will conduct appropriate tests and tell the patient or parents of a child with protruding ears about the advisability of treatment.
Treatment of protruding ears can be done conservatively and surgically. The second method is much more reliable and effective at any age. But if it is possible to do without surgery, it is worth taking advantage of it, since surgery is always stressful for the body and carries a risk of complications.
Each specialist has a different assessment of the age up to which treatment is possible without surgery. Some talk only about the first 6 months, others about 7 years. There are cases where prominent ears became less noticeable or disappeared completely as they grew older. The growth of the skull bones gradually made a person’s appearance more harmonious. The websites of companies that manufacture correctors claim that they can also help adults (however, many experts have doubts about such statements).
To the main conservative methods can be attributed:
Correctors should be applied to clean, oil-free skin. It is not recommended to change the location of gluing. It is better to choose the optimal site in advance. Hair should not get under the lens.
It is not recommended to apply the concealer in rooms with high humidity, for example, in the bathroom. This affects the consistency of the glue, and therefore the product is less adherent. Important! When applying correctors, you must ensure that no folds form on the delicate baby skin. Otherwise, diaper rash and scratches may occur.
User experience various methods adjustments are very different. Some people are suitable for the products of one company, others prefer something completely different. To summarize, we can say that Correctors are not a panacea at all. They rarely help get rid of protruding ears even in childhood. Some parents even note that the child’s ears began to bend even more.
As adults, none of those who left a realistic review managed to get rid of the problem.
According to manufacturers, the reason for this is that completely eliminating protruding ears is a long process, and few people simply wait for the final result.However, users find correctors convenient for certain situations - photo shoots, important meetings, public speaking. After using them, some patients came to accept their appearance and stopped being embarrassed by their protruding ears. Others changed their hairstyle to make it less noticeable.
Parents of lop-eared children rarely made decisions about correction themselves. After all, a child seems beautiful to any mother. Usually the question arose when it was necessary to visit educational institution. The child was embarrassed about his ears and insisted on buying correctors.
The best age for this is senior preschool: 6 or 7 years old. The ears have already formed almost completely (90%), and the likelihood of correcting protruding ears without intervention is extremely low. In addition, the child goes to school, and the ridicule of classmates about his protruding ears can be very painful.
Surgery is not performed for any acute inflammatory diseases, diabetes mellitus, tumors. Taking some medicines should be stopped before surgery. For example, aspirin thins the blood and, accordingly, increases the risk of bleeding. You must inform your doctor about all medications you take.
Before any surgical intervention, a series of studies is carried out. Usually you need to provide general analysis blood, urine, fluorography, ECG, permission from medical specialists who are seeing the patient, and a physician’s conclusion. If in private clinic do not require any research, it is still worth checking your health.
Children usually do general anesthesia, adults - local. After this, the surgeon makes an incision behind the auricle, removes excess cartilage, and corrects its shape. Sometimes a laser is used for these purposes, which causes protein coagulation (destruction). This method is the least traumatic and less likely to lead to complications.
The operation does not last long, general period rarely exceeds one hour even in difficult cases. After correcting the shape of the shell, the doctor applies stitches. During local anesthesia, patients may feel a slight tingling sensation. Sometimes minor pain is possible.
At first, the patient will have to wear special cushions that will support his ears in the desired position. Swelling may develop 1-2 days after surgery. This is a normal reaction. You should immediately consult a doctor if it is accompanied by severe pain or fever.
Stitches must be removed after 7-10 days. If absorbable threads are used, you no longer need to visit the doctor. In the first time after surgery, you need to avoid stress and hypothermia.
The price of the operation greatly depends on the region. In the provinces it can be 15,000 - 30,000 rubles. In Moscow or St. Petersburg, the average cost is 50,000 rubles. The operation is not carried out free of charge. However, some public hospitals They carry it out at prices that are significantly lower than in private clinics.
Judging by the reviews of patients who have undergone otoplasty, if the result is unsatisfactory, another correction will also cost money. If the operation is unsuccessful, you should not expect a refund. It is important to be prepared for this outcome and discuss its likelihood with a doctor you trust.
Prominent ears can become a source of serious complexes for the patient. There are no other reasons for treatment. It rarely affects the functioning of the ear. Desire Changing your appearance is definitely worth pursuing. However, before radical measures It makes sense to consult with your loved ones or with a stylist who will suggest a way to change your appearance without surgery.
If your child's ears stick out, you shouldn't always rush to buy expensive correctors. A slight protrusion of ears can, on the contrary, give him a certain charm. Only in case of severe deformation is it worth deciding on them constant wearing. At home, you can periodically tie the ribbon, paying attention to whether the child is comfortable in this state. If the baby does not tolerate bandages well, then it is better to refuse them, because he good mood much more important.
Lop ears- this is a fashion trend
Since childhood, my classmates have come up with ideas for me offensive nicknames like “eared” or “lop-eared” and they called my ears “locators”. In my youth, already joking, my friends sang the song “I will clear the clouds with my ears.” I endured all this steadfastly and with great dignity, but the complex was fixed, one might say, for the rest of my life, and I still prefer to wear it loose.
Imagine my surprise when, flipping through the pages of a glossy magazine, I discovered slicked-back beauties with protruding ears on the world’s runways. And what’s surprising is that the more the girl’s ears stuck out, the more “slicked” her hair was.
So, unexpectedly for me, my disadvantage turned into a virtue. It is unknown, however, how long the fashion for protruding ears will last, but I advise everyone who suffers from such a complex to proudly raise their heads and tie their tail!
Are lop-eared people good-natured maniacs?
IN Ancient India people with protruding ears were highly valued in tantric monasteries. It was believed that they belong to free people, that is, they know how to distinguish between good and evil and can themselves choose both good and bad in their lives. They know how to unconsciously or consciously (this is indicated by the structure of their face and body) influence their destiny. It was considered a particularly good sign that top part the ear is far from the head.
If the ears were flattened, they said about such a person in India that he was born “in the old place” and did not tear himself away from the soil (from his land).
Chinese physiognomy revealed patterns of human character and actions in social environment, in everyday life, therefore the Chinese interpretation of protruding ears given below differs from the Indian one.
The tops of the ears stick out - a sign of an unstable life, full of ups and downs. Such a person will have to work hard all his life to earn wealth and respect.
Both ears are pressed to the head - auspicious sign. Such a person is respected, obeyed, and fate provides him with a decent existence without exhausting work.
There are many contradictions in the interpretation of the features of the ears. For example, some Western physiognomists consider flattened ears a sign of inconstancy, pettiness, vindictiveness, and deceit. But, since the birthplace of physiognomy is China, it is probably worth giving preference to the Chinese version.
Large protruding ears are a deceptive indicator. Such people are usually considered narrow-minded and gullible. Indeed, some of them are simple-minded and even stupid, but more often they are cunning, stubborn and persistent to the point of fanaticism. There are many maniacs among them.
Be that as it may, as the proud owner of protruding ears, I can say that none of these definitions accurately characterize my “pop-eared” character.
