The prominent ear is an autosomal dominant trait which means it is influenced by heredity and is present from birth. Prominent ears are also known as bat ears because the ears seem big and prominent on the face. It is an abnormally protruding human ear where the concha is large with poorly developed anti-helix and scapha. It may be unilateral or bilateral.  The concha is large with poorly developed antihelix and scapha.

We all are born with different shapes and sizes of ears. Some children are born with ear deformities. Some are born with abnormal ear sizes, such as prominent ears, and protruding and asymmetrical ears. Some are born with congenital ear defects where the outer ear is underdeveloped or completely absent, such as microtia, anotia, and lop ear.

  Ear reconstruction surgery is an operation to repair or rebuild the pinna or auricle- the external/outer part of the ear. It is a complex process performed by a team of specialists- an expert ear reconstruction plastic surgeon in the presence of an otolaryngologist (ear physician), and sometimes a hearing specialist (if hearing loss is a concern). It is not meant to address issues with hearing ability, rather it is done to correct a congenital ear defect or used to restore an ear affected by cancer surgery or damaged by trauma.
