Otoplasty, for prominent ear correction, is the most common aesthetic surgery procedure done in children. While the outcome often has a positive impact on the psychological state of the patient, the procedure itself does have associated complications that must be considered. Common complications include hematomas, infection, necrosis, outer ear canal stenosis, extrusion of sutures, insufficient correction, overcorrection, keloids, and hypertrophic scars. This is the first case report of facial nerve palsy as a complication following otoplasty.
