The term, 'Prominent ears' denotes ears that irrespective of their size protrude or extend from the sides of a person's head.

Ear reconstruction:
For the purpose of reconstructing an entire ear or even just a portion of the rim cartilage, the cosmetic surgeon has to harvest a cartilage graft from the patient’s rib cage. This is then sculpted into an auricular structure that is placed under the temporal skin of the patient’s head. The skin cover encompasses the cartilage framework or the ear prosthesis. Once emplaced and anchored with sutures, the cosmetic surgeon then creates a outer ear (pinna) of natural proportions, shape and appearance. Over the next months and using follow up surgery, the cosmetic surgeon then creates an earlobe. The surgeon also separates the reconstructed Outer ear from the side of the head in order to create what is termed a 'tragus' or the small rounded structure that located right before the external entrance to the human ear canal.
