Otoplasty refers to surgical and non-surgical procedures for correcting external ear deformities and defects. The defects may be of morphology and structure of the external ear such as a deformation, absent external ear, damage by trauma etc.. Otoplasty corrects the defect or deformity of the external ear by procedures such as shaping or augmenting of the cartilaginous support framework of the pinna etc. Otoplasty was developed in ancient India, in 5th century BC, by physician Sushruta and was described in the Sushruta samhita for correcting and reconstructing ear, nose and lips deformed due to amputations. Dieffenbach in 1845, demonstrated correction of post-traumatic auricular deformity and cosmetic otoplasty was described by Ely who performed a wedge excision to reduce the prominence of the ear.

The market for otoplasty is driven by factors such as growing prevalence of congenital ear deformities such as Treacher Collins syndrome, hemifacial microsomia etc. Other factors are natural deformations and extremities such as bat ears, constricted ear, cryptotic ear, macrotic ear, question mark ear, Stahl’s ear deformity etc. the rising cases of trauma to the external ear such as due to blasts, puncture and damage due to blunt objects are also important drivers of the Otoplasty market. The growing influence of media and fashion industry coupled with greater screening for deformities at birth will drive the market for otoplasty.
