Hi,
Noted the need to have
otoplasty in a 17 year old girl, could not afford till now, wants to know any options for payments, teased a lot in past.
Yes, 17 is the proper age to have otoplasty.
Till then you can try the external devices to have a camouflage and be teased less, increase morale and self esteem.
Otoplasty is usually done in stages hence you have to consult an ENT Surgeon or a Plastic Surgeon in your area to discuss in detail the stages, the fees, the care to be taken and all.
The choice of stages and procedure depends upon the experience and expertise of every surgeon dealing in such cases.
it is good that you have taken our services, we try to provide the best one.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, ENT & General Surgeon
