Ear Reshaping Surgery (Otoplasty) Thornton, CO | Dr. Nathan Roesner

Understanding Ear Reduction Surgery

Otoplasty, commonly known as ear reduction surgery, is a specialized surgical procedure designed to reshape and reposition protruding or oversized ears. This procedure helps patients achieve a more balanced and proportionate ear appearance by carefully modifying the outer ear's cartilage structure.

• Have ears that are disproportionately large or prominently positioned
• Are experiencing self-consciousness about ear appearance
