Occasionally, adults with prominent ears may be able to have a pinnaplasty on the NHS if it's causing them significant distress, but this is rare.

Overall correction (excellent/improved) for the treatment group was 90% (100% for lop-ear, 100% for Stahl’s ear, 67% for protruding ear and 0% for cryptotia).

We are the largest privately-owned company producing innovative aesthetic correctors to prevent and correct protruding ears. I found they communicated very well to each other, so everyone knew when my meds were due, my allergies etc. Studies looking at newborn ear deformities have shown that approximately 1/3 of mild ear deformities improve or resolve without intervention in the first week after birth, and 2/3 of all protruding ears or deformities will remain the same or worsen with time.
