Understanding Ear Surgery (Otoplasty)

Ear surgery, or otoplasty, is a specialized procedure designed to reshape and reposition ears for improved aesthetic appearance. Dr. Sumpter's advanced techniques can address various ear concerns, helping patients achieve enhanced confidence and facial harmony.

Ideal Candidates for Ear Reshaping

Ear surgery candidates typically include individuals experiencing:

• Self-confidence issues related to ear appearance
• Protruding or oversized ears
• Underdeveloped ear cartilage
• Ear deformations from trauma or genetic factors

Surgical Procedure Overview

The otoplasty procedure involves precise surgical techniques to manipulate ear cartilage and bone. Dr. Sumpter makes small incisions behind the ear, allowing for strategic reshaping and repositioning. The goal is to create a natural, balanced appearance that complements the patient's facial structure.

Recovery and Expectations

Post-surgical recovery involves minimal swelling and bruising. Patients will need to wear a protective elastic headband during initial healing. Most individuals can return to normal activities within several weeks, with complete healing occurring over subsequent months.

Age Considerations

Dr. Sumpter performs ear surgery for patients as young as 5 years old, allowing for early intervention and improved emotional well-being. However, the procedure remains effective for individuals of all ages seeking ear aesthetic improvements.

Cost Information

Otoplasty fees typically range from $3,000 to $4,750, depending on the complexity of the individual case. Pricing varies based on specific surgical requirements and desired outcomes.
