EAR RESHAPING (OTOPLASTY) IN LA JOLLA, CA | MALONE FACIAL PLASTIC
SURGERY

UNDERSTANDING OTOPLASTY

Otoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the size and
configuration of the ear for a more normalized appearance. This ear
shaping technique can correct deformed or protruding ears by bringing
them closer to the head or adjusting their size and shape.

KEY BENEFITS OF EAR RESHAPING

 	* Decrease the size of large ears
	* Bring prominent ears closer to the head
	* Improve self-esteem and confidence
	* Address ear-related aesthetic concerns
	* Resolve abnormalities and ear injuries
	* Restore proportionate facial appearance

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR OTOPLASTY

Candidates for ear shaping typically include individuals beginning in
their teenage years who are in good overall physical health and have
stable weight. Patients with protruding, misshapen, or
disproportionate ears may benefit from this procedure. Dr. Malone
evaluates each patient's unique facial anatomy to develop a
personalized treatment approach.

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

The otoplasty procedure involves making a small incision in the crease
behind the ear or, for larger ears, potentially on the front of the
ear. Dr. Malone carefully sculpts and reshapes the ear cartilage,
using sutures to close the incisions and minimize visible scarring.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Patients can typically return to full activities within two weeks
after the procedure, with specific guidance from Dr. Malone. For
children, return to school is possible after approximately one week,
with careful activity restrictions. Bandages may be worn over the ears
for a few days, and patients should avoid swimming and contact sports
until cleared by the surgeon.

DR. MALONE'S APPROACH TO EAR RESHAPING

Dr. Malone's philosophy centers on personalized, natural-looking
enhancements that address each patient's unique aesthetic goals. Her
approach ensures subtle, harmonious results that boost patient
confidence without drawing unwarranted attention.

UNDERSTANDING OTOPLASTY: RESTORING EAR HARMONY AND CONFIDENCE

Ear shape and proportion play a significant role in facial aesthetics.
An otoplasty can bring ears into beautiful harmony with the natural
balance of the facial profile, addressing emotional concerns caused by
ear appearance.

WHAT IS OTOPLASTY?

Otoplasty is a highly customized surgical procedure designed to alter
the size and/or shape of the ears. The goal is to create a
proportional ear shape that complements the patient's natural
features, requiring detailed knowledge of ear structure and artistic
vision.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR EAR RESHAPING SURGERY

Otoplasty is suitable for individuals experiencing ear-related
aesthetic concerns, including:

 	* Overly large ears in proportion to head shape
	* Protruding ears (ear angle greater than 35 degrees)
	* Excess cartilage around the outer ear
	* Ears that stick out instead of folding in
	* Cupped or shelled ear deformities
	* Microtia (small ear condition)
	* Ear damage from injury or trauma

PROCEDURE DETAILS AND APPROACH

Otoplasty can be performed in an in-office surgical suite under local
anesthesia and sedation. For young children, general anesthesia in an
outpatient surgery center is often recommended. The typical procedure
takes approximately one hour per ear.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE

Dr. Michael Godin, a double Board-certified Facial Plastic and
Reconstructive Surgeon, employs precise techniques to reshape ears.
After surgery, a light dressing helps maintain the new ear shape, and
patients may be advised to wear a protective headband during healing.

AGE CONSIDERATIONS FOR OTOPLASTY

While otoplasty can be performed at any age, early intervention is
often recommended. For children, the procedure is typically suggested
between ages four to six, helping prevent potential emotional
challenges from teasing or bullying.

the ear. Through this incision, he carefully reshapes and repositions
