What is Otoplasty?

Otoplasty is a surgical procedure that repositions the ear cartilage to create a more natural appearance. Dr. Michael DePerro at DePerro Plastic Surgery offers this ear surgery for patients in Columbus, Dublin, Clintonville, Upper Arlington, and surrounding areas of Ohio who may be concerned about ears that protrude too far from the head.

Benefits of Otoplasty

Ear surgery provides several advantages:

• Improves the appearance of protruding ears
• Results are immediately visible and continue to improve over time
• Long-lasting effects without the risk of ears reverting to their original position
• Does not affect hearing

Ideal Candidates for Otoplasty

Suitable candidates for ear surgery include:

• Healthy individuals without untreated chronic ear infections
• Those able to communicate their concerns about the procedure
• Non-smokers
• Individuals with realistic expectations about the surgery's outcomes

The Otoplasty Procedure

Dr. DePerro performs otoplasty by reshaping the cartilage and adjusting the ear's prominence relative to the head. Each surgery is tailored to the patient's specific needs, as ear asymmetry is common.
