Otoplasty

Fix Protruding and Asymmetrical Ears
An Otoplasty, otherwise known as ear surgery or earlobe repair, is a form of plastic surgery that improves the shape, position, and/or size of the ears. This type of surgical intervention can be done for medical or aesthetic reasons and typically involves repositioning and reshaping the ear cartilage to create a more natural look.
Benefits of a otoplasty
- There are many reasons to consider an Otoplasty including:
- Improving self-confidence and boosting self-esteem
- Correcting medical conditions or abnormalities
- Eliminating ear pain or discomfort
Who Makes a Good Candidate?
Most healthy adults and adolescents who are unhappy with the shape or size of their ears may be good candidates for Otoplasty. However, it is important to discuss all risks and benefits of the procedure thoroughly with your plastic surgeon before undergoing treatment.
Types of Otoplasty Procedures
There are many different types of ear and earlobe procedures, including:
Ear Augmentation
Ear Augmentation improves the appearance of small or asymmetrical ears. During this procedure, your surgeon will use dermal fillers to add volume and definition to your ears.
Ear Pinning
Ear Pinning corrects ears that are overly large or stick out too far from the head. During this procedure, your surgeon will reshape and reposition the cartilage in your ear to create a more natural look.
Ear Reduction
Ear Reduction reduces the size and projection of overly large or protruding ears. During this procedure, your surgeon will remove excess cartilage and skin from the ear to create the desired shape.
What Should You Expect From this Transformative Cosmetic Surgery?
An Otoplasty is typically performed on an outpatient basis and may take anywhere from one to two hours. During the procedure, your plastic surgeon will make small incisions in the front or back of the ears. The exact technique used will depend on the type of Otoplasty being performed. Once the incisions have been made, your surgeon will then reshape the underlying cartilage and skin. They may also use sutures or other materials to help maintain the new shape of your ears.

Everything You Need to Know About Recovery
After the procedure, you will likely have some swelling and bruising around the ears that should gradually subside over time. Your surgeon will provide instructions on how to care for your incisions in order to ensure a smooth recovery and to help minimize the risk of infection.
As part of the post-operative course, you may be asked to wear headbands or other protective gear or dressings to protect your ears while they heal. You will have several follow-up appointments following your surgery to evaluate your progress and make sure you have optimal healing.
