Otoplasty in Philadelphia: Enhance Your Ear Appearance

Introduction to Otoplasty

Otoplasty, also known as ear pinning surgery, is a transformative procedure designed to improve the appearance of the ears. Dr. Ronald Lohner, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Philadelphia, specializes in this delicate surgery that can significantly enhance facial harmony and boost self-confidence.

Benefits of Otoplasty

• Improved self-confidence by reducing ear prominence
• Enhanced appearance when wearing hats or styling hair
• Better facial balance with proportionate ears

Ideal Candidates for Otoplasty

Dr. Lohner recommends otoplasty for individuals unhappy with their ear appearance, including those with ear malformation, asymmetry, or unnatural protrusion. The procedure is suitable for patients as young as five years old, provided the ears are 85-90% developed.

The Otoplasty Procedure

Performed on an outpatient basis at Lohner Plastic Surgery, otoplasty typically takes two to three hours. Dr. Lohner makes small incisions behind or along the front crease of the ear to reshape cartilage and reposition the ear. The procedure may include tissue removal and earlobe reconstruction if necessary.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery from otoplasty generally takes one to two weeks. Patients may experience mild bruising and swelling initially. Dr. Lohner provides detailed post-operative instructions and schedules follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing.
