This is a long shot, but does anyone have any recommendations for a pediatric surgeon who performs otoplasties ear (to correct lop ears with floppy pinna)?

    I just wanted to say good for you for considering it.  I know many people consider it taboo but I have one ear that has a congential malformation that needs a unilateral otoplasty.  I'm 28, I refuse to wear my hair up and WILL get it fixed as soon as we can!

    For DS, we have always known we would do it, it is both ears and it means he needs a special strap to keep his hearing aids and glasses secured. Also, I don't care about people who have something critical to say about it, especially since most have never faced the issue.
    Will your insurance cover any of the cost?
