PALM BEACH FACIAL PLASTIC SURGERY

UNDERSTANDING EAR SURGERY

Otoplasty, commonly known as ear surgery, is a precise surgical
procedure designed to reshape and resize large, protruding, or
irregularly shaped ears. When performed by a skilled facial plastic
surgeon like Dr. Mark R. Murphy, the outcome can significantly enhance
facial harmony and boost patient confidence.

CANDIDATES FOR EAR SURGERY IN PALM BEACH GARDENS

Patients may consider otoplasty if they experience:

 	* Protruding ears that extend significantly from the head
	* Ears that are disproportionately large
	* Asymmetrical or unusually shaped ear structures
	* Self-consciousness about ear appearance

SURGICAL APPROACH

Dr. Murphy's ear surgery technique involves precise incisions behind
the ears, allowing careful sculpting of cartilage and soft tissue. The
goal is to create symmetrical ears that naturally complement the
patient's facial features, positioning them closer to the head for a
more balanced appearance.

EAR SURGERY PROCEDURE DETAILS

The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia for adults
and teens, with younger children receiving twilight anesthesia. Dr.
Murphy meticulously evaluates each patient's unique facial structure
during a comprehensive consultation, ensuring personalized surgical
planning.

RECOVERY PROCESS

Recovery from ear surgery is relatively straightforward. Patients will
initially wear protective bandages, followed by a specialized headband
to support healing. Most individuals can return home the same day and
resume normal activities within a week, with Dr. Murphy providing
detailed post-operative guidance.

PINSKY, M.D.

UNDERSTANDING EAR SURGERY (OTOPLASTY)

Otoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to adjust the position,
size, and shape of ears to create a more natural and balanced
appearance. Pinsky Plastic Surgery's experienced surgeons can address
various ear-related aesthetic concerns, including protruding ears,
asymmetry, and structural irregularities.

EAR CONDITIONS TREATABLE WITH OTOPLASTY

 	* Lop Ear: When the ear appears to fold down and forward
	* Cupped Ear: Extremely small ear structure
	* Shell Ear: Lack of natural ear curves and creases
	* Protruding Ears: Ears that stick out significantly

PATIENT CANDIDACY FOR EAR SURGERY

Otoplasty can be performed on children as young as four to six years
old, once ear growth is complete. While many procedures are performed
on children to prevent potential social challenges, adults are also
excellent candidates for ear surgery.

THE OTOPLASTY PROCEDURE IN PALM BEACH GARDENS

A typical ear surgery procedure takes between two and three hours. The
surgical approach involves making a discreet incision behind the ear
to access and reshape the cartilage. Surgeons can trim cartilage,
adjust ear positioning, and use strategic stitching to achieve the
desired outcome.

ANESTHESIA AND SURGICAL APPROACH

Anesthesia selection depends on the patient's age. Children typically
receive general anesthesia, allowing them to sleep during the
procedure. Adult patients may have the option of local anesthesia,
enabling them to remain awake but relaxed.

RECOVERY AND POSTOPERATIVE CARE

After the procedure, patients will have a protective bandage to
support healing and ear molding. Mild discomfort and throbbing are
normal and can be managed with prescribed pain medication. Most adults
return to work within five days, while children typically resume
school activities within a week.

POSTOPERATIVE RECOMMENDATIONS

 	* Avoid contact sports and strenuous activities as advised
	* Attend follow-up appointments for stitch removal
	* Follow surgeon's specific recovery instructions
