EAR RESHAPING SURGERY (OTOPLASTY) NEWPORT BEACH, CA | SUNNY PARK
FACIAL PLASTIC SURGERY

UNDERSTANDING EAR RESHAPING SURGERY

Otoplasty, commonly known as "ear pinning," is a cosmetic procedure
designed to improve the appearance of protruding ears. Dr. Park
specializes in creating balanced, natural-looking results that enhance
facial harmony and boost patient confidence.

CANDIDATES FOR OTOPLASTY

Otoplasty is an excellent option for individuals ranging from children
(age 5 or older) to adults who feel self-conscious about ear
prominence. The procedure addresses two primary ear characteristics
that contribute to protrusion:

 	* Lack of a natural fold (antihelix)
	* Overgrowth of the ear's bowl area (conchal cartilage)

SURGICAL TECHNIQUES IN NEWPORT BEACH

Dr. Park develops a personalized treatment plan tailored to each
patient's unique ear structure. The surgical approach typically
involves:

 	* Creating a defined fold to bring ears closer to the head
	* Removing excess cartilage to reduce ear prominence

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Otoplasty recovery is relatively straightforward and includes the
following considerations:

 	* Anesthesia options: General for children, local for some adults
	* Protective headband worn for 2 weeks during initial healing
	* Suture removal typically occurs 2 weeks post-surgery

UNDERSTANDING OTOPLASTY: EAR CORRECTION PROCEDURE

Otoplasty, or ear surgery, is a minimally invasive procedure that
effectively repositions the ears to restore a more balanced and
natural look to the head and face. This surgical technique corrects
over-prominent ears, restores balance between unevenly positioned
ears, and helps create a more symmetrical appearance.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR EAR RESHAPING SURGERY

The best candidates for otoplasty include:

 	* Patients 5 years and older
	* Individuals with protruding or asymmetrical ears
	* Those seeking correction of ear shape due to trauma or birth
defects
	* Patients who are generally healthy and non-smokers

THE OTOPLASTY PROCEDURE

FACEOLOGYMD performs otoplasty as an outpatient procedure typically
lasting 2-3 hours. Dr. Raymond Lee administers local anesthesia with
sedation, making a small incision behind the ear to reposition the
cartilage, creating a more natural angle.

RECOVERY AND AFTERCARE

Following the procedure, patients can expect:

 	* Protective ear dressing
	* Recommendations for sleeping position
	* Guidance on clothing and ear care during healing

PROCEDURE COST CONSIDERATIONS

Otoplasty is considered a cosmetic procedure and is not typically

and have realistic expectations for improving ear prominence. The
procedure can be performed on both children and adults, offering
significant aesthetic and psychological benefits.

AGE CONSIDERATIONS FOR OTOPLASTY

techniques

challenges

natural-looking results. The procedure may involve:

 	* Conchal setback for prominent ear bowls
	* Precise suturing techniques
	* Minimal cartilage removal if necessary

SURGICAL DETAILS

Otoplasty typically takes between thirty minutes to one and a half
hours. Anesthesia options include intravenous sedation with local
anesthesia for adults and general anesthesia for pediatric patients.

Post-surgical recovery involves managing temporary swelling and
bruising. Patients can usually return to work or school within one
week, with specific guidelines for wearing protective headbands and
avoiding ear trauma.

EAR RESHAPING SURGERY (OTOPLASTY) IN NEWPORT BEACH, CA | MARK A. ANTON
MD, FACS

UNDERSTANDING OTOPLASTY: EAR SURGERY OVERVIEW

Certain facial features can significantly impact first impressions and
personal confidence. Ears that are disproportionate or have noticeable
imperfections can cause emotional distress, especially for children
experiencing teasing or self-consciousness.

WHAT IS OTOPLASTY?

Otoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure designed to reshape,
resize, or reposition ears to achieve a more balanced and harmonious
facial profile. This medical intervention helps patients address
concerns about ear appearance while maintaining natural aesthetics.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR EAR RESHAPING SURGERY

 	* Ears that protrude noticeably from the head
	* Asymmetrical or differently shaped ears
	* Ear size disproportionate to facial features
	* Ears affected by genetic conditions or physical trauma

SURGICAL APPROACH AND TECHNIQUES

Dr. Anton utilizes advanced surgical techniques to minimize scarring
and ensure natural-looking results. Incisions are strategically placed
to blend with the ear's natural contours, typically behind the ear or
within inner creases.

ANESTHESIA CONSIDERATIONS

Anesthesia selection depends on patient age and procedure complexity.
Children typically receive general anesthesia, while adults may
undergo local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia for more
extensive corrections.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Most patients experience mild to moderate post-operative discomfort,
manageable with prescribed medication. Swelling gradually subsides
over two weeks, with full healing occurring progressively.

POST-SURGICAL RECOMMENDATIONS

 	* Restrict physical activities for two weeks
	* Wear protective bandaging
	* Attend follow-up appointments
	* Avoid lifting, bending, or straining
