EAR PINNING (OTOPLASTY) TIMONIUM, MD | RICARDO L. RODRIGUEZ MD, LLC

UNDERSTANDING OTOPLASTY: EAR RESHAPING SURGERY

Otoplasty, commonly known as ear pinning, is a surgical procedure
designed to change the shape and position of the ears. This procedure
can address prominent, protruding, or asymmetrical ears, creating a
more balanced and proportionate appearance.

WHAT OTOPLASTY CAN CORRECT

 	* Protruding ears
	* Overly large ear cartilage
	* Folding or flapping of the upper ear rim
	* Ear asymmetry

SURGICAL APPROACH

Dr. Rodriguez performs otoplasty using monitored IV sedation, which
allows for faster recovery and reduced postoperative complications.
The procedure involves carefully reshaping the ear cartilage through
strategically placed incisions, typically hidden behind the ear.

AGE CONSIDERATIONS

While otoplasty can be performed on both children and adults, surgeons
recommend waiting until a child is at least 6 years old when the ear
is more fully developed.

OTOPLASTY PROCEDURE DETAILS

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE

During the procedure, Dr. Rodriguez will:

 	* Make precise incisions behind the ear
	* Reshape and reposition ear cartilage
	* Create more natural ear proportions
	* Close incisions with dissolvable sutures

RECOVERY PROCESS

Recovery typically involves:

 	* Initial bandaging for one week
	* Wearing a tennis sweatband for two additional weeks
	* Resuming normal activities after six weeks

POTENTIAL RISKS

 	* Infection
	* Swelling
	* Temporary numbness
	* Potential for over or under-correction

COST CONSIDERATIONS

The estimated cost for bilateral otoplasty is approximately $6,500,
which includes the surgeon's fee, operating room costs, anesthesia,
and follow-up visits.
