Dr. Jorge Echeagaray is a highly skilled plastic surgeon who can help you feel comfortable with the appearance of your ears by providing you with beautiful results from your ear surgery in Mexico.
Ear Surgery Candidates
Ear surgery can be performed on adults who are bothered by the appearance of their ears or who have experienced trauma to the ear that has caused significant physical damage and altered the appearance of the ear. Ear surgery can also be performed on children with prominent ears that may be a source of embarrassment. Children will need to wait until they are 5 years of age or older before they can undergo otoplasty.
