Understanding Otoplasty: Ear Reshaping Surgery

Otoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure designed to improve the positioning and appearance of ears that are too small, too large, protruding, or uneven. This low-risk surgery involves reshaping ear cartilage through carefully hidden incisions to enhance both aesthetic appearance and patient confidence.

Conditions Commonly Addressed by Ear Surgery

• Ears that significantly protrude from the head
• Overly prominent ears
• Ears that are too small
• Stretched-out earlobes
• Congenital ear deformities like "cup ear" or "lop ear"

Age Considerations for Otoplasty

Ear surgery is particularly beneficial for children and teenagers who may experience social challenges due to ear appearance. Bloom Facial Plastic Surgery recommends patients be at least seven years old before considering the procedure.

Recovery and Results

Recovery from otoplasty typically involves rest and restricted activity for up to one week. Patients can expect mild, temporary side effects such as itching, swelling, and tenderness. Final results are permanent and become visible within two weeks, with continued refinement possible over 12 months.

In addition to ear reshaping, Dr. Bloom offers earlobe repair for issues caused by heavy earrings, piercings, injuries, or aging. Procedures can range from surgical suturing to injectable treatments, typically completed in less than one hour.
