Ear Pinning Surgery (Otoplasty) in Argyle, TX

Understanding Otoplasty Surgery

Otoplasty, commonly known as ear surgery or ear pinning, is a cosmetic procedure designed to improve the shape, position, and proportions of the ears. This surgical technique can address various ear-related aesthetic concerns for both children and adults.

Common Reasons for Otoplasty

• Protruding ears
• Large or prominent ears
• Congenital ear deformities
• Ear asymmetry
• Previous ear surgery complications

Types of Otoplasty Procedures

• Ear pinning surgery
• Earlobe repair

Surgical Procedure Overview

The otoplasty procedure typically takes 1-2 hours and can be performed under local or general anesthesia. Dr. Scott Kasden carefully makes incisions behind the ears or within natural ear folds to minimize visible scarring.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect some initial swelling and bruising following the procedure. A protective headband or bandages are recommended during the first week of recovery. Most patients return to normal activities within 1-2 weeks, with complete healing occurring in 6-8 weeks.

Patient Considerations

• Realistic aesthetic expectations
• Understanding potential surgical risks
• Commitment to post-operative care
