Understanding Otoplasty: Ear Reshaping Surgery

Otoplasty is a surgical procedure specifically designed to correct the size and shape of a person's ears. Patients may seek this procedure for various reasons, including congenital ear deformities, ear asymmetry, or aesthetic concerns about ear proportions.

Ideal Candidates for Ear Reshaping

The ideal candidates for otoplasty are individuals who feel self-conscious about their ear appearance. This procedure is suitable for patients of all ages, though many prefer early intervention. Key candidate characteristics include:

• Healthy individuals
• Non-smokers
• Individuals with realistic expectations
• Those with misshapen or protruding ears

Otoplasty Procedure Details

The otoplasty procedure is performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia. Dr. Brenman carefully removes cartilage and skin, reshaping the ears to achieve the desired aesthetic outcome. Strategic incision placement behind the earlobe minimizes visible surgical scarring.

Surgical Approach

During the procedure, the surgeon will precisely modify ear cartilage and soft tissues to create a more balanced and proportionate ear shape. The specific technique is tailored to each patient's unique anatomical requirements.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect immediate visible changes, though final results develop over several months as healing progresses. Recovery typically involves:

• Wearing special compression headwear
• Returning to work or school within one week
• Experiencing reduced swelling after 3-4 weeks
