What is Otoplasty?

Otoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure targeting ear characteristics such as:

• Size modification
• Shape correction
• Position adjustment

Procedure Details

Dr. Craig A. Blum carefully sculpts and repositions ears using precise techniques. Small incisions are strategically placed within natural ear folds to minimize visible scarring. The procedure addresses genetic abnormalities, injury-related defects, or personal aesthetic preferences.

Candidate Considerations

While ear abnormalities can be observed in children, otoplasty is typically recommended for adults. As children develop, ear characteristics may change, potentially affecting surgical outcomes. Adult patients can expect permanent, long-lasting results.

Benefits of Otoplasty

Patients often experience enhanced physical appearance and increased self-confidence. The procedure creates more attractive, proportionate, and symmetrical ears, addressing long-standing aesthetic concerns.

Surgical Process

During the procedure, appropriate sedation and numbing agents are administered. Dr. Blum meticulously reshapes ear structures, ensuring natural-looking results tailored to each patient's unique anatomy.

Cost and Consultation

Otoplasty costs are determined during an initial consultation. Dr. Blum will develop a personalized treatment plan addressing individual patient needs and aesthetic goals.
