Growing up boys and girls have plenty to worry about. Ears that stick out too far from the side of the head are often a source of teasing and self-consciousness. Adults may also be self-conscious of prominent ears even causing women to avoid hair styles that expose their ears. Boston plastic surgeon Dr. Richard A.
