Hypertrophy of the Auricular Concha Cartilage
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Hypertrophy of the conchal cartilage of the ear is an overgrowth or excessive development of the cartilage of the hollow part of the outer ear, which can change its shape or projection.
Why it occurs: It may be due to a variation in the development of the ear cartilage or be part of each person's anatomical features. At times it is related to the position of the ear relative to the head.
When to seek advice: If the shape of the ear causes functional discomfort, trouble when wearing glasses or hearing aids, or concern about its appearance, it is reasonable to seek professional guidance.
Suitable specialist: The otolaryngologist is the one who evaluates the structures of the outer ear and can explain the features of each case. Seeing this specialist helps resolve doubts and learn the available options in an informed way.
