Otoplasty

Otoplasty, commonly known as ear surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to reshape, resize, or reposition protruding or asymmetrical ears for a more balanced and natural appearance. Ideal for children (ages 5+) and adults, this surgery can address concerns like large ears, stretched lobes, or misshapen cartilage, boosting confidence and reducing self-consciousness. The procedure typically involves reshaping cartilage through discreet incisions behind the ears, with results visible once swelling subsides after 2-3 weeks. Recovery includes wearing a protective headband for 1-2 weeks, with most patients returning to school or work within 5-7 days. Performed under local or general anesthesia, otoplasty offers permanent, subtle results. Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon ensures precision and safety for ears that look harmonious with your facial features.
