Otoplasty

Are you self-conscious about the appearance of your ears? If you're unhappy with the shape, size, or position of your ears, otoplasty may be an option to consider. Otoplasty, also known as ear surgery or ear pinning, is a cosmetic procedure that can reshape, resize, or reposition the ears to improve their appearance.

During the otoplasty procedure, the surgeon makes incisions behind the ears and removes or reshapes the cartilage to achieve the desired results. The procedure typically takes 1-2 hours and is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. After the surgery, patients may experience mild discomfort and swelling, which can be managed with pain medication and cold compresses. Most patients can return to their normal activities within a week or two, but it may take several weeks for the swelling to subside and the final results to be visible.

Otoplasty can be a life-changing procedure for those who are unhappy with the appearance of their ears. If you're considering otoplasty, it's important to find a qualified and experienced surgeon who can help you achieve your desired results. To learn more about otoplasty and whether it's right for you, consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in ear surgery. With proper care and attention, you can achieve the look you desire and boost your self-confidence with otoplasty.
