What Otoplasty Can Address

The procedure is effective in correcting a variety of ear-related concerns, including:

• Prominent or protruding ears on one or both sides.
• Disproportionately large ears (macrotia).
• Correcting previous ear surgery.
• Repairing the earlobe.
• Correcting congenital or traumatic ear deformities.

The Surgical Procedure

The otoplasty procedure is tailored to your specific needs and goals. The general process includes:

1. Consultation & Planning: Our expert surgeon will assess your ear structure and discuss your desired outcome, creating a personalized surgical plan.
2. Anesthesia: Otoplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation for adults, or general anesthesia for children.
3. Incision: A small, discreet incision is made on the back of the ear, allowing the surgeon to access the cartilage. This placement ensures minimal visible scarring.
4. Reshaping & Pinning: The surgeon will either remove excess cartilage or use permanent sutures to reshape the ear and pin it closer to the head.
5. Closing: The incisions are closed with fine sutures, and a protective head bandage is applied to support the new ear position during the initial healing phase.
