Is there a risk of hearing loss in a patient with otoplasty?

Question:

Is there a risk for hearing loss in a patient who has otoplasty?

Answer:

There is absolutely no risk for hearing loss in an individual who is undergoing otoplasty surgery. The anatomy and structures responsible for hearing are far deeper in the ear than the areas of the ear that are traditionally addressed with otoplasty.
