EAR PINNING (OTOPLASTY) ANNANDALE, VA | JAMES H. FRENCH JR., MD, FACS

UNDERSTANDING OTOPLASTY: EAR RESHAPING SURGERY

Otoplasty, commonly known as ear pinning or ear tuck, is a surgical
procedure designed to correct and reshape protruding or abnormally
structured ears. This procedure can significantly improve an
individual's appearance and boost self-confidence by adjusting the
underlying ear cartilage.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR EAR RESHAPING

Otoplasty is suitable for both children and adults. Most ear growth is
completed by age three, making it possible to assess and potentially
correct ear shape from this point forward. Typically, surgeons
recommend the procedure between ages five and six.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUES

The otoplasty procedure involves modifying ear cartilage through one
of two primary approaches:

 	* Removing specific portions of cartilage
	* Forming and reshaping ear folds to create a more natural appearance

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Following otoplasty, patients can expect a structured recovery
process:

 	* Initial head dressing remains in place for three to five days
	* Light dressing applied afterward, often with a protective headband
	* Nighttime ear wrapping continues for three weeks
	* Most bruising and swelling resolves within ten to fourteen days
	* Normal exercise can resume after two weeks

COST CONSIDERATIONS

Otoplasty procedures typically start at $7,500, with the final cost
varying based on the complexity of the individual case. A personalized
cost estimate will be provided during the initial consultation.

POTENTIAL RISKS AND COMPLICATIONS

While otoplasty is generally safe, rare instances of mild ear
protrusion recurrence can occur. These can typically be corrected with
a minor follow-up procedure under local anesthesia.
