ears?

B. myringotomy
c. stapedectomy
D.
tympanostomy

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is option A. otoplasty.

Explanation:

An otoplasty is an aesthetic surgery that is performed to achieve a symmetrical appearance of the ears, either because the ears suffered an injury, or simply by aesthetic.

This surgical procedure can be performed at any time in the life of the human being, as long as his ears have reached their maximum growth, which is usually at 5 years of age.

An otoplasty will only modify the way your ears look, it will not have influence on your ability to listen.

Therefore, after a traumatic incident, and after developing deformities in the outer ears, what corresponds is to perform an otoplasty.
