PLASTIC SURGEON

WHAT IS OTOPLASTY?

Otoplasty, or ear surgery, is a specialized cosmetic procedure
designed to reshape, resize, and reposition the ears. Dr. John A Kotis
provides personalized ear surgery in Arlington Heights, focusing on
creating natural-looking results that enhance facial harmony and boost
patient confidence.

KEY BENEFITS OF EAR SURGERY

 	* Correct aesthetic ear imperfections
	* Improve self-confidence and self-esteem
	* Prevent potential social challenges from ear appearance
	* Achieve natural-looking, discreet results
	* Minimal surgical intervention and recovery time

REASONS FOR AESTHETIC EAR SURGERY

Patients may consider otoplasty for various aesthetic concerns,
including ears that are:

 	* Disproportionately sized
	* Protruding excessively from the head
	* Stretched from gauges or earrings
	* Misshapen from congenital conditions

PEDIATRIC AND ADULT EAR SURGERY

Dr. Kotis specializes in both pediatric and adult otoplasty
procedures. For children, ear surgery is typically recommended around
four years old when ear cartilage is nearly fully developed. This
early intervention can prevent potential teasing and help children
feel more confident about their appearance.

SURGICAL APPROACH

The otoplasty procedure is performed under local anesthesia for adults
and general anesthesia for children. Dr. Kotis creates a small,
strategically placed incision behind the ear, ensuring minimal visible
scarring. The cartilage is then carefully reshaped to achieve the
desired aesthetic result.

RECOVERY GUIDELINES

Post-surgical recovery involves:

 	* Gentle bandaging for initial healing
	* Wearing a soft headband to maintain ear position
	* Avoiding strenuous activities
	* Keeping the head elevated to minimize swelling
	* Adults can typically return to work within a few days
