Understanding Otoplasty: Ear Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills

Ear surgery, commonly known as otoplasty, is a specialized procedure designed to improve the shape, position, and proportion of the ears. This surgical intervention can address congenital ear structure defects or correct misshapen ears resulting from injury.

Potential Conditions Treated by Otoplasty

• Overly large ears (macrotia)
• Protruding ears on one or both sides
• Ear deformities not associated with hearing loss
• Adult dissatisfaction with previous ear surgery results

Ideal Candidates for Ear Surgery

Determining candidacy for otoplasty involves several critical factors. For children, key considerations include:

• Good overall health without life-threatening illnesses
• No untreated chronic ear infections
• Minimum age of approximately 5 years
• Stable ear cartilage suitable for correction
• Ability to follow surgical instructions

Surgical Benefits and Outcomes
