The residency for an otoplasty surgeon (which is a surgeon who performs cosmetic surgery on the ears) may vary to a degree. Residency at a hospital appears to be about 3 years, but if you are part of a special program and working directly under someone it might only be a year or two. But that person will definitely get the experience and will be board certified.
