Ear Reshaping Surgery (Otoplasty) Lone Tree, CO | Emmett Plastic Surgery

Understanding Otoplasty: Ear Reshaping Surgery

Otoplasty, or cosmetic ear surgery, is a precise surgical procedure designed to correct the shape, position, symmetry, and proportion of the ears. This transformative treatment helps patients address ears that are disproportionately large or protrude unnaturally from the head.

Comprehensive Ear Correction Solutions

Emmett Plastic Surgery offers comprehensive ear reshaping solutions for individuals experiencing aesthetic concerns with their ears. The procedure can address multiple ear-related issues, including:

• Ears that stick out too far from the head
• Ears disproportionate to facial features
• Structural ear defects caused by genetics or injury
• Oversized or asymmetrical earlobes

The Otoplasty Procedure

During otoplasty, Dr. Jennifer Emmett performs a precise surgical technique typically completed within one hour per ear. The procedure involves making a discreet incision in the natural fold behind the ear, allowing surgical modification of cartilage and skin.

Surgical Techniques

Potential ear modification techniques include:

• Cartilage trimming and reshaping
• Internal suturing to pin back protruding ears
• Precise sculpting for improved symmetry

Recovery and Expectations

Most patients experience a straightforward recovery process lasting approximately one week. Patients can expect some initial tenderness, swelling, and bruising. Surgical gauze and a soft headband will be used to protect the ears during initial healing.

Ideal Candidates for Otoplasty

Otoplasty is suitable for both children and adults seeking to improve their ear appearance. Candidates typically experience self-consciousness about ear shape, size, or positioning and desire a more balanced facial aesthetic.

Patient Benefits

Beyond physical transformation, otoplasty offers significant psychological benefits, including:

• Enhanced self-confidence
• Reduced social anxiety
• Improved facial symmetry
• Long-lasting aesthetic results

Cost Considerations

Otoplasty costs vary depending on individual requirements. Some cases might be partially covered by health insurance. Emmett Plastic Surgery offers flexible financing options through CareCredit®, Simmons Bank, and Prosper® Healthcare Lending.
