EAR RESHAPING SURGERY (OTOPLASTY) WASHINGTON | THE SEATTLE FACIAL
PLASTIC SURGERY CENTER

UNDERSTANDING OTOPLASTY IN SEATTLE, WA

Some individuals are born with prominent ears that protrude from the
head due to underdeveloped cartilage folds. Otoplasty, or ear
reshaping surgery, offers a precise surgical solution to correct ear
asymmetry and enhance facial aesthetics.

EAR SURGERY CHARACTERISTICS

 	* Corrects prominent or protruding ears
	* Recreates natural ear cartilage folds
	* Improves overall ear symmetry

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE AND APPROACH

The Seattle Facial Plastic Surgery Center performs otoplasty using a
specialized surgical technique. The procedure involves a strategic
incision approximately 1.5 inches long, carefully placed in the crease
behind the ear to minimize visible scarring.

PRECISE SURGICAL DETAILS

 	* Surgical duration: Approximately one hour
	* Incision location: Behind the ear in a natural crease
	* Cartilage repositioning with permanent and dissolvable sutures
	* Targeted ear protrusion of 12-15 mm from the head

ANESTHESIA AND RECOVERY

Otoplasty can be performed using general anesthesia or local
anesthetic, depending on patient needs and surgeon recommendations.
Patients typically wear a protective head-wrap during the initial
recovery period to support proper healing.

PATIENT CONSIDERATIONS

Many patients seek otoplasty to address long-standing concerns about
ear appearance, such as feeling self-conscious about protruding ears
or avoiding certain hairstyles.
