Otoplasty (Ear Surgery) Millburn, NJ | Sanjay Lalla, MD

Understanding Ear Surgery in New Jersey

Ear surgery, or otoplasty, is a specialized procedure designed to correct ear deformities and enhance overall ear appearance for children and adults in the Millburn, New Jersey area. This surgical technique can address prominent ears, disproportionate ear size, and various congenital ear conditions.

Conditions Treated by Ear Surgery

• Prominent or protruding ears
• "Lop ear" deformities
• "Cupped ear" conditions
• "Shell ear" abnormalities
• Large or stretched earlobes
• Earlobes with creases and wrinkles

Surgical Procedure Details

Otoplasty typically lasts two to three hours and can be performed in various medical settings, including hospitals, office-based facilities, and outpatient surgery centers. The procedure may be conducted under general or local anesthesia, depending on the patient's specific needs and medical profile.

Ideal Candidates for Ear Surgery

The procedure is most suitable for patients with stable ear cartilage, typically adults and cooperative teenagers who understand the surgical process. Candidates should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the surgical outcome.

Surgical Technique and Approach

Dr. Sanjay Lalla strategically places incisions in natural ear folds to minimize visible scarring. The surgical approach ensures that results appear natural, recognizing that perfectly symmetrical ears would look unnatural.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect immediate noticeable results that continue to improve as post-surgical swelling subsides. The typical recovery period ranges from one to two weeks, during which patients may experience mild itchiness—a normal part of the healing process.
