Ear Reshaping Surgery (Otoplasty) Harrisburg, PA

Understanding Otoplasty in Central Pennsylvania

Protruding ears can significantly impact self-confidence, particularly in children and young adults. Otoplasty, or ear surgery, offers a transformative solution for individuals experiencing emotional discomfort due to large or prominent ears. Dr. Scott Gayner, a board-certified facial plastic surgeon, specializes in ear reshaping procedures for patients throughout Central Pennsylvania.

Candidacy for Ear Surgery

While conventional wisdom suggests performing otoplasty around ages 5-6 when ears reach full size, adults are equally viable candidates for this procedure. The surgery aims to address:

• Protruding ear deformities
• Disproportionate ear size
• Asymmetrical ear appearance

The Otoplasty Procedure

At Stratis Gayner Plastic Surgery, otoplasty is performed in an ambulatory surgery center under sedation or general anesthesia. Dr. Gayner utilizes precise surgical techniques to reshape ear cartilage, creating natural and harmonious results.

Surgical Approach

The procedure involves strategic incisions behind the ear, allowing Dr. Gayner to:

• Remove excess skin and cartilage
• Reshape ear contours
• Secure new ear shape using internal sutures
