Understanding Otoplasty: Ear Reshaping Surgery

Otoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reshape, resize, or reposition the ears to improve aesthetic appearance and symmetry. Dr. Steve T. Vu specializes in precise ear correction techniques that address various ear shape and positioning concerns for patients in Corona and surrounding Orange County areas.

Typical Otoplasty Considerations

• Prominent or protruding ears
• Asymmetrical ear positioning
• Ear shape irregularities
• Congenital ear deformities

Surgical Approach

The otoplasty procedure involves carefully modifying ear cartilage through strategic incisions, typically made behind the ear. Dr. Vu's technique ensures minimal scarring and natural-looking results tailored to each patient's unique anatomical structure.

Ideal otoplasty candidates include individuals with fully developed ears who experience self-consciousness about ear appearance. The procedure can be performed on both children and adults, addressing structural concerns that impact personal confidence.

Potential Benefits of Otoplasty

• Improved ear proportion and symmetry
• Enhanced facial balance
