Ear Reshaping Surgery (Otoplasty) Englewood, CO | Dr. David Kowalczyk

Understanding Otoplasty

Otoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to reshape, resize, and reposition ears for patients of all ages. Individuals with protruding, asymmetrical, or disproportionate ears can achieve a more aesthetic appearance through this transformative treatment.

Ideal Candidates for Ear Surgery

• Children aged 5-6 years old
• Individuals self-conscious about ear appearance
• Patients with stretched or damaged earlobes
• Those seeking improved ear symmetry and proportion

Surgical Procedure Details

Colorado Facial Plastic Surgery performs otoplasty using specialized techniques. Incisions are strategically placed behind the ears, allowing surgeons to reshape cartilage and create a more balanced ear contour. The procedure typically takes 2-3 hours and can be completed under local anesthesia.

Procedure Expectations

Patients can expect a comprehensive recovery process with specific post-operative instructions. A protective headwrap is used for several weeks to support proper healing. Minor swelling and bruising are normal and will gradually subside.

Recovery Recommendations

• Follow post-operative care instructions precisely
• Attend scheduled follow-up appointments
• Avoid strenuous activities during initial healing
• Wear recommended protective headwear
