Understanding Ear Surgery (Otoplasty)

Ear surgery, medically known as otoplasty, is a specialized surgical procedure designed to reshape and reposition prominent or disproportionate ears. This transformative procedure helps patients achieve a more balanced and natural ear appearance.

Who Can Benefit from Ear Surgery

• Children between ages 4-14
• Adults with protruding or oversized ears
• Patients with ear shape irregularities

Surgical Techniques and Approach

Dr. Russell Sassani employs advanced surgical techniques to address various ear shape concerns. The procedure typically involves making small incisions behind the ear to access and reshape the cartilage, creating a more proportional and aesthetically pleasing result.

Ear Surgery Procedure Overview

Ear surgery is generally performed as an outpatient procedure, lasting approximately two to three hours. Depending on the patient's age and specific needs, either local or general anesthesia may be used to ensure comfort during the surgery.

Surgical Techniques

• Cartilage sculpting and repositioning
• Skin removal and ear reshaping
• Minimal scarring techniques

Recovery and Expectations

Following ear surgery, patients can typically return to normal activities within a few days. A light headband-style dressing will be used to support healing, and patients should follow post-operative instructions carefully to ensure optimal results.
