Ear Reshaping Surgery (Otoplasty) in Newport Beach, CA

Understanding Otoplasty: Ear Correction Procedure

Otoplasty, or ear surgery, is a minimally invasive procedure that effectively repositions the ears to restore a more balanced and natural look to the head and face. This surgical technique corrects over-prominent ears, restores balance between unevenly positioned ears, and helps create a more symmetrical appearance.

Ideal Candidates for Ear Reshaping Surgery

The best candidates for otoplasty include:

• Patients 5 years and older
• Individuals with protruding or asymmetrical ears
• Those seeking correction of ear shape due to trauma or birth defects
• Patients who are generally healthy and non-smokers

The Otoplasty Procedure

FACEOLOGYMD performs otoplasty as an outpatient procedure typically lasting 2-3 hours. Dr. Raymond Lee administers local anesthesia with sedation, making a small incision behind the ear to reposition the cartilage, creating a more natural angle.

Recovery and Aftercare

Following the procedure, patients can expect:

• Protective ear dressing
• Recommendations for sleeping position
• Guidance on clothing and ear care during healing

Procedure Cost Considerations

Otoplasty is considered a cosmetic procedure and is not typically covered by health insurance. Costs vary based on anesthesia, surgeon's fee, and facility charges.
