Otoplasty (Ear Surgery) Macon, GA | Christopher McLendon MD, Renaissance Plastic Surgery

Understanding Ear Surgery (Otoplasty)

Ear Surgery (Otoplasty) is a specialized procedure that requires significant experience and training. At Renaissance Plastic Surgery, the surgical team has performed numerous otoplasty surgeries to reshape ears and correct ear structure with precision and expertise.

Why Consider Otoplasty?

• Enhanced Facial Symmetry: Correct ear disproportion for a more harmonious appearance
• Boosted Self-esteem: Address self-consciousness related to ear shape or prominence
• Correction of Birth Defects: Improve aesthetics and function of ear structure
• Recovery from Trauma: Restore ear's natural appearance after accidents

Otoplasty Procedure Details

After a thorough examination, Renaissance Plastic Surgery will develop a personalized surgical plan. The procedure can be performed under sedation or general anesthetic, typically on an outpatient basis. The goal is to reshape the ears to create a symmetrical, proportionate, and natural appearance.

Key Procedure Considerations

• Individualized surgical approach
• Minimal visible scarring techniques
• Potential same-day discharge
• Comprehensive post-operative care instructions

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect some post-surgical inflammation and bruising. Most individuals can return to normal daily activities within 1-2 weeks, avoiding strenuous exercise during initial recovery. Results are immediate, though final appearance becomes apparent after swelling subsides.

Common Otoplasty Questions

Age Considerations

Otoplasty can be performed once ears reach near-full size, often around ages 6-8. Earlier intervention allows for easier cartilage reshaping and can prevent potential childhood teasing.

Hearing Concerns

Otoplasty is a cosmetic procedure that does not impact hearing. Any temporary changes are typically due to post-surgical swelling and resolve quickly.
