Instead, the body, as one of the social capitals, carries human identity, because a person\u2019s body and face serve as tools to reveal or conceal different aspects of their life.<br \/>On the other hand, the need for social relationships and belonging to social groups is another factor that encourages individuals to align with the beauty standards of their society.<br \/>Individuals are highly motivated to gain approval from others in order to join and participate in social networks. In today\u2019s fast paced world, where advertising is so pervasive that it can dominate the minds of many young people, what increasingly defines beauty are the standards that create it standards that are shaped by fashion and widely demanded among youth.

However, a natural and normal ear should have an angle of 25 to 30 degrees with the skull, and the distance from the ear\u2019s edge to the skull should be approximately 15 to 20 millimeters.<\/p><p>If the cartilage of the auricle grows more in some areas, or if certain folds of the auricle do not form properly, this angle or the distance of the ear from the skull increases. In this case, the individual is considered to have prominent ears and may consider ear reduction procedures.<\/p><p>In most cases, genetics is the primary cause of large or prominent ears. For this reason, during the first three weeks of a newborn\u2019s life, the softness of the auricle can be utilized, and special molds can be applied to prevent the formation of prominent ears in children.<\/p><p>However, using these molds is not something to be done casually, as an improper mold can cause problems such as deformed or folded ears. Surgeons emphasize that this condition is most commonly observed in children aged 2 to 3 years.<\/p><p>Although prominent ears are frequently seen in this age group, the good news is that in many children, the condition corrects itself as they grow, and treatment may not be necessary.<\/p><p>If, however, the problem persists after the age of six, when the auricle has fully grown, it should not be expected to resolve on its own. Hearing ability in individuals with prominent ears is fully normal; the only reason for seeking surgical correction is usually reduced self confidence and the psychological impact of the condition.<\/p><p>In these cases, surgery often performed on an outpatient basis can prevent social isolation.<br \/>During the procedure, a portion of the cartilage behind the ear is removed to allow the ear to return to a natural position.<br \/>This is an outpatient procedure that can usually be performed under local anesthesia, though general anesthesia may be used in children who are anxious or fearful.<\/p><p>Postoperative care is essential: prescribed antibiotics and painkillers must be taken on schedule.<br \/>After removing the dressing, typically three days post surgery, the wound should be cleaned daily with warm water and soap to prevent infection and promote healing.<br \/>It is also recommended to wear a headband during sleep.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"message-action-buttons\">\u00a0<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"message-45\" class=\"Message message-list-item allow-selection last-in-group has-reply shown open\" data-message-id=\"45\"><div class=\"bottom-marker\" data-message-id=\"45\" data-should-update-views=\"false\">\u00a0<\/div><div class=\"message-content-wrapper can-select-text\"><div class=\"message-content peer-color-4 text has-subheader has-shadow has-solid-background has-appendix has-footer\" dir=\"auto\"><div class=\"content-inner with-subheader\" dir=\"auto\"><div class=\"message-subheader\"><div class=\"nRjVJOQv peer-color-0 _9jsufX2y EmbeddedMessage no-selection\"><p>Unfortunately, some young people, even with naturally normal ears, seek to change their ear shape.<br \/>A cosmetic ear procedure called the \u201cdonkey ear\u201d style has recently become popular among young people in Tehran. This new type of surgery emerged after the rise of rhinoplasty procedures. In this surgery, the upper part of the ear is cut and stitched to transform the ear from a round shape to a triangular one.<\/p><p>Unfortunately, this procedure is unnecessary in most cases and is usually performed at the insistence of the individual.<\/p><p>Although changing the natural ear shape to a triangular form does not affect hearing, many young people later regret undergoing this surgery. For this reason, it is strongly recommended to consult with a psychologist before undergoing such procedures.<\/p>\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"502\" class=\"elementor elementor-502\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c8d1c2f e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"c8d1c2f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f3af413 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"f3af413\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4c059c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4c059c7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Contact us via WhatsApp for offline consultation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cff653b elementor-align-end elementor-list-item-link-inline elementor-icon-list--layout-traditional elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-list\" data-id=\"cff653b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-list.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"elementor-icon-list-items\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/wa.me\/+989120903029\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fab-whatsapp\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M380.9 97.1C339 55.1 283.2 32 223.9 32c-122.4 0-222 99.6-222 222 0 39.1 10.2 77.3 29.6 111L0 480l117.7-30.9c32.4 17.7 68.9 27 106.1 27h.1c122.3 0 224.1-99.6 224.1-222 0-59.3-25.2-115-67.1-157zm-157 341.6c-33.2 0-65.7-8.9-94-25.7l-6.7-4-69.8 18.3L72 359.2l-4.4-7c-18.5-29.4-28.2-63.3-28.2-98.2 0-101.7 82.8-184.5 184.6-184.5 49.3 0 95.6 19.2 130.4 54.1 34.8 34.9 56.2 81.2 56.1 130.5 0 101.8-84.9 184.6-186.6 184.6zm101.2-138.2c-5.5-2.8-32.8-16.2-37.9-18-5.1-1.9-8.8-2.8-12.5 2.8-3.7 5.6-14.3 18-17.6 21.8-3.2 3.7-6.5 4.2-12 1.4-32.6-16.3-54-29.1-75.5-66-5.7-9.8 5.7-9.1 16.3-30.3 1.8-3.7.9-6.9-.5-9.7-1.4-2.8-12.5-30.1-17.1-41.2-4.5-10.8-9.1-9.3-12.5-9.5-3.2-.2-6.9-.2-10.6-.2-3.7 0-9.7 1.4-14.8 6.9-5.1 5.6-19.4 19-19.4 46.3 0 27.3 19.9 53.7 22.6 57.4 2.8 3.7 39.1 59.7 94.8 83.8 35.2 15.2 49 16.5 66.6 13.9 10.7-1.6 32.8-13.4 37.4-26.4 4.6-13 4.6-24.1 3.2-26.4-1.3-2.5-5-3.9-10.5-6.6z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">WhatsApp conversation<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Otoplasty, or cosmetic surgery for prominent ears, is one of the facial aesthetic procedures discussed in the fields of aesthetics and psychology.
