CERTIFIED PLASTIC SURGEON

ABOUT COSMETIC EAR SURGERY

Ears that appear to protrude outward, are asymmetrical or misshapen,
or look unnaturally big can negatively impact self-esteem, especially
at a young age. Otoplasty (ear reshaping) is a cosmetic procedure that
helps recontour the ears' size, position, and shape to produce a
normal appearance.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR OTOPLASTY

Ear reshaping surgery can be performed at any age, though it is most
common among children and recommended before elementary school. By six
years of age, this surgery is safe and effective. Ideal candidates
include:

 	* Individuals feeling embarrassed by ear shape or size
	* Children with protruding or misshapen ears
	* Patients with torn, stretched, or damaged earlobes

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE

The otoplasty procedure is performed using anesthesia, which can be
general, IV sedation, or local anesthesia. Typically, the incision is
placed around the back portion of the ear or within inner folds.
During surgery, cartilage is manipulated to create a natural-looking
appearance.

KEY SURGICAL CONSIDERATIONS

 	* Both ears are usually addressed to ensure symmetry
	* Incisions are carefully stitched and protected
	* Procedure aims to create a balanced, natural ear contour

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

After the procedure, patients will heal at home with specific
post-operative instructions. Dr. Walters recommends a follow-up
appointment within 3 to 5 days to remove coverings and assess surgical
results. Patients can expect immediate visible improvements that
continue to refine during the healing process.

PROCEDURE BENEFITS

 	* Enhanced self-confidence
	* Improved ear symmetry
	* Natural-looking ear contour

embarrassment, potentially affecting self-confidence, especially among
children, teenagers, and young adults. Otoplasty offers a
comprehensive solution for those experiencing self-consciousness about
their ear appearance.

WHAT IS EAR SURGERY?

Otoplasty, also known as ear correction plastic surgery, is a surgical
procedure designed to enhance the visual appearance of the ear by
adjusting its position, proportion, or shape. This procedure can
address various ear irregularities, whether caused by accidents,
injuries, or congenital conditions.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR EAR SURGERY

ear tissues and cartilage are soft and more adaptable. Early
intervention can prevent potential psychological impacts like bullying
and enhance long-term aesthetic outcomes.

COST AND RECOVERY

procedure, it is not typically covered by insurance. Recovery involves

	* Protruding ears of varying degrees

DR. THEUNISSEN'S SURGICAL APPROACH

SURGICAL TECHNIQUES

The surgical technique depends on the patient's current ear condition.
For protruding ears, reformation and splint support may be used.
Incisions are made behind the ears to trim soft tissues, tighten skin,
and reposition the ears. For small or hidden ears due to
underdeveloped cartilage, reshaping, repositioning, and tissue
grafting may be performed.

EAR PINNING AND REDUCTION

	* EAR PINNING: Cartilage is repositioned or removed to pin the ear
back. Incisions are made behind the ear, and sutures hold the ear
close to the head.
	* SIZE REDUCTION: Incisions are made behind the ear to remove
cartilage and reduce the ear's size by decreasing the chonchal
cartilage's surface area.

DURING AND AFTER SURGERY

Ear surgery typically takes 1-2 hours. The area is bandaged
post-surgery to manage swelling and soreness. Patients are discharged
for home recovery, with bandages remaining for 72 hours. A protective
garment is worn afterward. Incisions are made behind the ears,
concealing scars. Most patients can resume normal activities within
3-4 weeks.

PROCEDURE DETAILS

	* AVERAGE COST: $5,800
