Ear Pinning Surgery (Otoplasty) Beverly Hills, CA | Dr. J Plastic Surgery

Understanding Otoplasty in Beverly Hills

Ear prominence can cause significant self-consciousness for individuals of all ages. Dr. J specializes in otoplasty, a surgical procedure designed to reshape and reposition ears to create a more balanced and natural appearance. Patients experiencing concerns about ear projection, unusual ear folds, or disproportionate ear size can benefit from this precise surgical intervention.

Common Reasons for Otoplasty

• Prominent or protruding ears
• Poorly defined ear cartilage
• Asymmetrical ear shape
• Large or oversized ears
• Self-consciousness about ear appearance

Surgical Approach and Technique

Dr. J employs advanced surgical techniques to ensure natural-looking results. For comprehensive ear reconstruction, he may utilize costal cartilage grafts from the rib cage, carefully molding them to create an auricular framework that blends seamlessly with the patient's facial features.

Surgical Procedure Details

• Anesthesia: Local or general, depending on complexity
• Procedure duration: 1.5 to 5 hours
• Outpatient surgical procedure
• Customized approach for each patient

Recovery and Aftercare

Following otoplasty, patients can expect a structured recovery process. Initial ear dressings will be worn for several days, followed by a protective headband for 3-6 weeks. Pain management techniques including medication and icing help minimize discomfort and swelling.

Typical Recovery Timeline

• Return to work: Approximately one week
• Resume strenuous activities: Around two weeks
• Prescribed antibiotics to prevent infection
• Regular follow-up appointments
