Ear Surgery (Otoplasty) in Red Bank, NJ

Understanding Ear Surgery

Ear surgery, or otoplasty, is a specialized surgical procedure designed to correct ear size, shape, and positioning. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. John Taylor helps patients in Red Bank and Middletown, New Jersey, address ear-related aesthetic concerns through precise surgical techniques.

What is Otoplasty?

Otoplasty is a surgical procedure that addresses multiple ear characteristics, including:

• Reshaping protruding or asymmetrical ears
• Reducing overall ear size
• Correcting ear cartilage irregularities
• Repositioning ears closer to the head

Surgical Approach to Ear Correction

Dr. Taylor employs meticulous surgical techniques tailored to each patient's unique anatomical requirements. Procedures typically involve strategic cartilage reshaping and precise incision placement to minimize visible scarring.

Benefits of Ear Surgery

• Enhanced self-confidence
• Improved aesthetic ear symmetry
• Reduced potential for childhood teasing
• Permanent surgical correction

Procedure Details

Ear surgery at Allure Plastic Surgery Center is performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on patient age and specific surgical requirements. The procedure typically takes approximately two hours, with carefully planned incisions and internal suturing techniques.
