About Cosmetic Ear Surgery
Ears that appear to protrude outward, are asymmetrical or misshapen, or look unnaturally large can negatively impact self-esteem. Otoplasty (ear reshaping) is a cosmetic procedure that helps recontour the size, position, and shape of the ears to obtain a more normal appearance.
Ear Surgery Candidates
Ear reshaping surgery can be performed at any age, though it is most common among children. By six years of age, this surgery is safe and effective. Ideal candidates include:
- Individuals feeling embarrassed by ear shape or size
- Children with protruding or misshapen ears
- Patients with torn, stretched, or damaged earlobes
Surgical Technique
Ear reshaping surgery is performed using general or IV sedation. The incision is typically placed around the back portion of the ear or within inner folds. During the procedure, cartilage is manipulated to create a natural-looking appearance, with both ears typically addressed to ensure symmetry.
Recovery and Results
After the procedure, patients receive detailed recovery instructions. Key recovery guidelines include avoiding touching the ears, sleeping propped up, and attending a follow-up appointment within 3-5 days. Results are visible immediately and continue to improve during healing.
