Ear Reshaping Surgery (Otoplasty) in Charleston, SC

Understanding Otoplasty: Ear Surgery Explained

Otoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to address aesthetic concerns related to ear size, shape, and position. Many individuals experience insecurity about their ears, which can stem from genetic variations or injury-related irregularities.

What Does Otoplasty Address?

Otoplasty can modify ears in multiple ways:

• Reduce ear size
• Correct asymmetrical ear positioning
• Reshape ear contours
• Address genetic or injury-related ear abnormalities

Candidacy and Age Considerations

While ear irregularities can be observed in children, Sweetgrass Plastic Surgery recommends otoplasty primarily for adults. This approach ensures more permanent and stable surgical results, as children's ears continue to develop and change.

Surgical Procedure Details

During otoplasty, surgeons carefully administer appropriate sedation and numbing agents. The procedure involves precise sculpting and repositioning of ear structures, with incisions strategically placed in natural ear folds to minimize visible scarring.

Procedure Benefits

Otoplasty offers significant physical and psychological advantages, including:

• Enhanced ear proportionality
• Improved facial symmetry
• Increased personal confidence
• Permanent aesthetic correction

Cost and Consultation

Otoplasty cost varies based on individual surgical requirements. During the initial consultation, Sweetgrass Plastic Surgery will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific aesthetic goals.
