What are prominent ears? To gain an attractive facial impression
The positive impression that prominent ears give
Prominent ears have the visual effect of making the whole face look sharp and smaller, and the characteristic of giving a youthful impression by making the midface look shorter.
In particular, in photos and videos, the ears standing out moderately reduces the empty space around the face, creating a face-slimming effect.As a result, the overall balance of the face is harmonized, symmetry is emphasized, and the features become more attractive.
Prominent ears become an important element for making the facial impression more attractive.As a result, your confidence in daily life and social situations increases, and even in business or everyday gatherings where first impressions matter, prominent ears become a tool that further draws out your charm.
Minor cosmetic methods for achieving prominent ears

Hyaluronic acid injection using hyaluronic acid injection are that it is a safe and effective method to form prominent ears without a scalpel.
The biggest advantage of this procedure is that the treatment time is short and there is no majordowntime, so even those who are hesitant about surgery can easily obtain a natural result.Furthermore, by varying the amount and position of the hyaluronic acid injection, it is possible to address the left-right difference in the existing degree of prominence and the patient's wishes.
By achieving subtle changes, a more natural result can be pursued.Also, even in the unlikely event that the result differs from what you imagined, it can be reversed by injecting a substance that breaks down hyaluronic acid (hyaluronidase), so you can undergo the procedure with peace of mind.
