Ear Reshaping Surgery (Otoplasty) Upland, CA | Smaili Plastic Surgery - Upland

Understanding Otoplasty: Ear Correction Surgery

Otoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure designed to reduce the size of the ear or reposition ears closer to the head. This procedure addresses ear deformities that can cause significant emotional and psychological distress for both children and adults.

Common Ear Deformities Treated

• Protruding ears
• Oversized ear cartilage
• Asymmetrical ear positioning
• Congenital ear shape abnormalities

Surgical Procedure Details

The otoplasty procedure involves carefully exposing and reshaping deformed ear cartilages. Surgical techniques focus on creating missing ear folds and positioning ears in proper alignment with the skull's mastoid bones.

Anesthesia Considerations

Otoplasty can be performed under different anesthesia protocols depending on patient age and medical history. Young children typically receive general anesthesia, while teens and adults may undergo the procedure under local anesthesia with or without sedation.

Post-Surgical Recovery

Following otoplasty, patients receive a specialized contour-conforming ear dressing worn for 5-7 days to protect the surgical repair. A protective head-band is recommended for six weeks to stabilize the ear's new position and shape.
