Ideal Candidates for Ear Surgery
Ear surgery can be performed on patients of all ages, though it is most common among children and teens with prominent ears. By age six or seven, the ear is nearly fully developed, making it an optimal time for the procedure. Candidates typically include individuals self-conscious about ear shape, size, or those with stretched or damaged earlobes.
Surgical Procedure
Ear reshaping surgery is completed using local anesthesia or general anesthesia. The procedure involves making a discreet incision behind the ear or inside the inner ear. Dr. Motakef carefully removes a small amount of skin and cartilage, then reshapes the ear using permanent sutures to create a natural contour.
Recovery and Results
After the procedure, patients recover at home with detailed post-operative instructions. An elastic ski-band is typically worn for 2-3 weeks to provide compression. Results are noticeable almost immediately and continue to improve as healing progresses.
Procedure Considerations
The cost of ear surgery varies depending on the specific procedure, ranging from $750 for earlobe correction to $10,000 for comprehensive ear reshaping. Results are typically permanent, with minimal risk of recurrence.
