Understanding Otoplasty: Ear Reshaping Surgery in Silicon Valley

Otoplasty, commonly known as ear reshaping surgery, is a precise cosmetic procedure designed to address aesthetic concerns related to ear size, shape, or position. At DG Facial Plastic Surgery, board-certified facial plastic surgeons provide expert ear surgical techniques tailored to each patient's unique anatomical structure.

Comprehensive Otoplasty Techniques

The surgical approach for otoplasty varies depending on individual patient needs. Procedures may address:

  • Prominent or protruding ears
  • Asymmetrical ear positioning
  • Ear size disproportionality
  • Congenital ear deformities
  • Post-traumatic ear reconstruction

Surgical Precision in Menlo Park

Located in the heart of Silicon Valley, DG Facial Plastic Surgery utilizes advanced surgical techniques to ensure natural-looking results. The goal is to create balanced, harmonious ear aesthetics that complement the patient's overall facial structure.

Patient Candidacy for Otoplasty

Ideal candidates for otoplasty typically include individuals who:

  • Are in good overall health
  • Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
  • Desire correction of ear-related aesthetic concerns
  • Are at least 5-6 years old, when ear growth is nearly complete

Recovery and Expectations

Otoplasty recovery typically involves minimal discomfort and requires careful adherence to post-operative instructions. Patients can expect initial swelling and potential ear bandaging, with gradual return to normal activities within several weeks.

About 10 years ago it was recommended I get surgery for a deviated septum. I suffer from allergies and sinus issues. Covid hit and I was working from home and thought I might revisit the idea of fixing my deviated septum and making my nose look perfect at the same time. I consulted with Dr. G and after looking at my nose he said he was surprised I could breath. Then we worked together to decide on the cosmetic changes to make to my nose. He showed me some morphed pictures and it was a hard decision as how does one pick out a nose?? We talked about what he thought would be best for my features and I trusted him to make the final decisions while in surgery. All I can say is why did I not do this 10 years ago! After surgery I could breath so much better! It is amazing how you can live your life when you don't know any better. My deviated septum is fixed and Dr. G made my nose look very natural with a much softer look. I actually have a cute nose now. I am very happy with the outcome and would highly recommend Dr. G. He is very patient and makes sure all your questions are answered before the procedure so you feel confident in his hands. After spending time with Dr. G for my consultations and follow ups you learn very fast that Dr. G is very passionate about what he does and sincerely want his patients to be very happy with the final results and I most certainly am. People who see my nose want to get their nose done too. I say see Dr. G!!

Dr. Gadaleta has “CHANGED my life”. With my recent neck and facelift. I am a 62 year old woman who just lost her partner after a yearlong battle with cancer. As her primary caretaker, I gained 20 pounds and wore all of my sadness on my face as my cheeks sagged and began falling into my neck. My partner died in March and I was a total wreck when I first visited Dr. Gadaleta in April 2021. In June 2021, Dr. Gadaleta performed an extensive face and neck lift surgery on me which has made me look at least 10 years younger. Surgery will not bring my partner back but it has given me a fresh new look on life while I work through the grieving process. Having the surgery when I did was one of the best decisions I ever made in my life. Dr. Gadaleta is a brilliant surgeon who is also very compassionate. He respected what I had gone through and why I needed to do something for myself now. He is a talented artist who through his vision and knowledge has brought back smiles to my face. I highly recommend this surgery and Dr. Gadaleta without hesitation. He is a highly trained surgeon who specializes in face and neck surgery. There is nothing more important than one’s face. You can definitely trust your face, and heart, with Dr.Gadaleta. He has CHANGED my life. Thank you, Dr. Gadaleta!

I wish I could give him more than 5 stars!!! Dr. Gadaleta is amazing! I recently did a rhinoplasty procedure (my first major surgery) and I was so nervous. Dr. Gadaleta was there every step of the way and never hesitated to answer my frequent and often repeating questions. He genuinely invests in his patients and always took time out of his busy schedule (no matter what time of day or night) to not only respond to my needs but to offer support to my family members as well! He did a beautiful job on my nose and it came out better than I could have ever imagined. He provides a well-rounded and holistic approach to patient care- imparting expertise on the physical components of surgery while preparing me for and comforting me during the psychological aspects too. I wish he could be my doctor for everything! If you want a highly skilled, knowledgeable, and compassionate expert look no further!! I couldn't have had a better experience and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for facial or rhinoplasty surgery!!

In early December 2020 Dr. Gadaleta did a procedure to lift my upper left eyelid . In addition, he did laser resurfacing around both eyes to repair extensive sun, wind and age damage resulting from my active outdoor life style... sailing, surfing, tennis and snow skiing. I was impressed with Dr. G during our initial consultation. He listened to me, was easy to talk to, had a warm bedside manner and took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure as well as other options . The procedure was completed in a painless fashion.. I felt safe and in good hands every step of the way . His staff was friendly, welcoming, and the head nurse was quite funny ! Dr. G was available after my procedure and throughout my recovery to help ease any concerns that I had . The procedure went well and my eyes are looking younger and great ! Dr. G is a very skilled facial plastic surgeon. He trained with some of the most renowned facial plastic surgeons in New York . Best of all .... he is a really nice guy ! If you are considering having work done I highly recommend you see him for a consultation.

Dr. Gadaleta performed a minor submental liposuction for the appearance of my double chin four months ago. I was very nervous about having a scar or experiencing pain. Dr. Gadaleta and his surgical team were extraordinary. He took the time to address my questions and concerns. It was a quick and painless procedure under local anesthesia. I had minimal bruising, due to the Arnica Montana capsules Dr. Gadaleta recommended I take one week prior to my procedure. I'm very impressed with my results today. I no longer hide from taking pictures or having to wear turtlenecks. I want to express my sincere appreciation for the best care and professionalism to Dr. Gadaleta and his team. I highly recommend him to my friends and family.
