Otoplasty

Whether a child or an adult –abnormally protruding ears can draw unnatural attention to the ears and erode at one self-confidence and self-esteem. Otoplasty is a procedure which can be performed under local anesthesia in the office or under general anesthesia in an accredited outpatient surgical center to restore a more natural shape and proportional balance between the face and ears. The incisions are placed behind the ears leaving no visible scars. The procedure may involve removing excess cartilage or weakening strong cartilage and reshapethe cartilage by either scoring, remodeling or suture techniques to create a more desirable form and shape.

Ear surgery, also known as otoplasty, can improve the shape, position or proportion of the ear. A defect in the ear structure that is present at birth or that becomes apparent with development can be corrected by otoplasty. This procedure can also treat stretched or torn earlobes caused by injury. Otoplasty creates a more natural shape while bringing balance and proportion to the ears and face. Correction of even minor deformities can have profound benefits to appearance and self-esteem. Request a consultation to determine if otoplasty may be right for you.
