Ear Reshaping Surgery (Otoplasty) Wisconsin | Green Bay Plastic Surgical Associates, SC

Understanding Ear Reshaping Surgery

Ears play a crucial role in facial symmetry and appearance. When ears are large, protruding, or misshapen, they can impact an individual's self-confidence and aesthetic balance. Otoplasty, or ear reshaping surgery, addresses these concerns through precise surgical techniques.

Key Aspects of Otoplasty

• Improves ear shape, position, and proportion
• Typically performed after age six
• Involves cartilage sculpting and strategic suture placement
• Addresses both cosmetic and psychological concerns

Surgical Technique and Considerations

Green Bay Plastic Surgical Associates employs advanced surgical methods to reshape ear cartilage. The procedure combines precise cartilage sculpting with strategic skin excision to achieve optimal results. Surgeons carefully modify the ear's structure to create a more balanced and proportionate appearance.

Post-Surgical Care

After otoplasty, patients require careful protection of the ears during the healing phase. The initial month is critical, as trauma or manipulation can potentially disrupt the surgical results. Surgeons provide detailed post-operative instructions to ensure proper healing and maintain the desired ear shape.

Potential Benefits of Otoplasty

• Enhanced facial symmetry
• Improved self-confidence
• Correction of congenital or developmental ear irregularities
• Reduction of potential peer ridicule for children
