Macrotia Definition

Macrotia refers to ears that are oversized or large ears that aren’t in proportion to the head. The normal auricular axis length is 58-62 mm in women and 62-66 mm in men. Many patients with prominent or protruding ears feel the need to reduce the size of their ears. However, in most of those cases the ears simply stick out too far and might not call for the consideration of ear reduction surgery. On the other hand, patients with macrotia have disproportionately large ears that may or may not stick out.
