Understanding Ear Surgery (Otoplasty)

Otoplasty, commonly known as ear pinning surgery, is a specialized surgical procedure designed to correct ear abnormalities. South Denver plastic surgeon Dr. Manish Shah performs this precise intervention to restructure ear cartilage and reposition ears for enhanced aesthetic and functional outcomes.

Key Otoplasty Procedure Benefits

  • Corrects protruding or asymmetrical ears
  • Addresses congenital ear deformities
  • Improves patient confidence
  • Minimally invasive surgical approach
  • Suitable for children and adults

Surgical Technique and Approach

Dr. Shah performs otoplasty using advanced surgical techniques tailored to individual patient needs. Typically, incisions are strategically placed behind the ear to minimize visible scarring. The procedure involves reshaping cartilage, repositioning ear structures, and creating a more natural, balanced appearance.

Surgical Procedure Details

  • Performed under general anesthesia
  • Procedure duration: 1-2 hours
  • Immediate post-surgical bandaging
  • Minimal recovery time

Candidacy and Age Considerations

While otoplasty can be performed at various ages, Dr. Shah typically recommends the procedure for children between 5-7 years old. At this age, ear cartilage remains soft and responsive to surgical modification, and early intervention can prevent potential psychological challenges related to ear appearance.

Torn Earlobe Repair

In addition to traditional otoplasty, Dr. Shah offers specialized torn earlobe repair. This procedure involves carefully removing damaged skin, reconstructing the earlobe using advanced grafting techniques, and ensuring aesthetic and functional restoration.

Important Surgical Considerations

  • Comprehensive patient evaluation required
  • Case-by-case surgical approach
  • Multiple post-operative consultations

I got an ultrasonic rhinoplasty done and Dr. Shah has been amazing through the whole experience! I chose to get it done because I didn’t like my side profile and thought it was a distraction from my other features. Dr. Shah listened to all my wants and made a plan for surgery specifically designed for me. He was open to anything and reassured me when I was anxious about surgery. On surgery day it went very smoothly and recovery was definitely not as bad as I was expecting. He was very gentle with my nose so I hardly had any bruising and pain was not bad at all. When I got my cast off the results were even better than I was expecting and I was so happy at the first look! I am now 2 months post-op and couldn’t be happier with the entire process and results. I love my nose now and want to show it off every chance I get. I would 100% recommend Dr Shah and his team if you are thinking about getting your nose done because he is the best there is!

If you are reading this review because you are combing through the internet trying to make an informed, intelligent decision about a surgeon, look no further. I considered a rhinoplasty for nearly a decade before deciding on Dr. Shah. It is is so intimidating as a layperson to select someone you are trusting with not only your face, but your life! My advice is in no way all-inclusive, but some basic checkpoints I discovered along my research journey are: 1) Your surgeon should be board-certified. 2) Your surgeon should have EXTENSIVE experience in the procedure you are looking to undergo. 3) Your surgeon should have plenty of gallery photos available and you should PERSONALLY love the results of these photos. We all have different preferences and aesthetic goals, find a surgeon whose work you admire. Dr. Shah checks all of these boxes and about a million more. I won't go into detail about his credentials here because you can easily look that up, but he is beyond certified. He is one of the best in the business. I am a year out from my rhinoplasty and it brings me to tears to look back on what a pleasant journey it has been. Dr. Shah prepared me so thoroughly for my pre-care, the surgery itself, the post-care, and all the follow-ups to come. He explained that we both play a part in the results; his part in the operating room and my part in my pre and post care -- including managing expectations. Although I in NO WAY expected perfection from my rhinoplasty result, I truly feel my results are perfect for me. While I feel that surgical expertise is the #1 priority when selecting a surgeon for a rhinoplasty, personality, connection, and the overall outlook on results are also important factors. Dr. Shah AND the team he surrounds himself with are kind, warm people who understand this is a big decision. We discussed several options for facial balance and Dr. Shah helped direct me away from several things I do NOT currently need (cheek filler, chin implant) -- a huge green flag for me! So many professionals these days seem to push procedures for profit rather than selecting the perfect plan for each individual. Throughout my consultation with Dr. Shah, I felt he understood my goals of having a natural result that truly fit MY face. I actually never showed Dr. Shah "goal photos" for what my nose would look like, we simply discussed some basic aesthetic preferences and I knew that I could leave the vision up to him. He is the expert and I took the leap to trust him to take care of me. He and his team did just that, and I am writing this extraordinarily long (sorry!) review in hopes that it can help ONE other person feel confident in making a safe decision for themselves. If you've made it this far, you understand I feel passionately about sharing my positive experience with Dr. Shah. He has spent decades perfecting his craft and he deserves to be recognized for his expertise. Dr. Shah and his team are THE choice and I will be returning for ANY procedures I may need in the future. Thank you, Dr. Shah!

Hi everyone! Real quick.. I've been a patient of Dr. Shah probably since 2014. I've done many procedures that other doctor's couldn't do so I luckily found dr. Shah that was able to do many procedures like an in office nostril procedure (nostril reduction) fat transfer to the under eye and my favorite 3 zone face lipo, I did not want to do the buccal fat removal and then double chin lipo so they offered this amazing procedure called the 3 zone face lipo. They lipo the double chin and the buccal fat through a very tiny incision near the ear/hairline so it hides very well and under the chin in the office! Saves you the facility fees if it were to happen at a hospital or surgey center so it was very convenient and i was able to drive myself because all you need is numbing medication i did not feel anything which I was so happy about that because i hate pain like everyone else does lol. It's been 1 year since my procedure and I have the most snatched face ever! I'm 32 and I look 20 (so I've been told) I also get all of my affordable amazing deals they have on lasers and other facials, my skin is getting soooo much better (cystic acne victim) I'm very picky when it comes to picking the perfect doctor to work on your face, it's your face so you gotta be! Best of the best thank you Dr. Shah! So happy with my results so far ;)
