EAR RESHAPING SURGERY (OTOPLASTY) FARMINGTON, CT | NICHOLAS KARTER, MD

EAR RESHAPING SURGERY OVERVIEW

Otoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure designed to reshape and
reposition ears for improved facial harmony. At Connecticut Facial
Plastic Surgery, board-certified surgeons help patients of all ages
address ear-related aesthetic concerns.

CONDITIONS TREATED BY OTOPLASTY

 	* Protruding ears extending from the head
	* Oversized or disproportionate ears
	* Asymmetrical ear structures
	* Congenital ear deformities
	* Ear trauma or cauliflower ear

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR EAR SURGERY

Candidates for otoplasty include physically healthy individuals with
realistic expectations. The procedure is suitable for both children
and adults seeking aesthetic ear improvements.

THE OTOPLASTY PROCEDURE IN FARMINGTON

Connecticut Facial Plastic Surgery performs ear reshaping surgery
using precise techniques. The procedure typically involves a small
incision behind the ear, allowing surgeons to reposition cartilage and
create a more balanced appearance.

PROCEDURE DETAILS

 	* Incision placed in natural ear fold
	* Cartilage repositioning or removal
	* Permanent sutures to maintain new ear shape
	* Minimal scarring

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Patients return home the same day, with initial results visible after
bandage removal. Most individuals can resume normal activities within
one week, with complete healing occurring over several weeks.

RECOVERY GUIDELINES

 	* Temporary protective bandaging
	* Limited physical activities for six weeks
	* Follow specific post-operative instructions

PEDIATRIC OTOPLASTY CONSIDERATIONS

For children, ear surgery is typically recommended around ages five to
six when ears reach adult size. Early intervention can prevent
potential psychological impacts from teasing or self-consciousness.

POTENTIAL RISKS AND CONSIDERATIONS

While otoplasty is generally safe, potential risks include asymmetry,
scarring, and changes in skin sensation. Choosing an experienced,
board-certified surgeon significantly minimizes these risks.
