Understanding Otoplasty: Ear Correction Surgery

Prominent or protruding ears can significantly impact self-confidence for both children and adults. Otoplasty, or ear reshaping surgery, offers a transformative solution for individuals seeking to improve their ear aesthetics in the Atlanta, GA area.

What Causes Prominent Ears?

Prominauris, the medical term for protruding ears, affects approximately 1-2% of the population. This condition results from two primary factors:

• Excessive height of the concha (seashell-shaped ear cartilage)
• Underdeveloped or absent antihelical fold

Otoplasty Procedure Details

Dr. Inessa Fishman performs otoplasty for children aged 5 and older, as well as adults. The surgical procedure involves carefully reshaping ear cartilage to create a more aesthetically pleasing ear position and facial profile.

Surgical Approach

Otoplasty is typically performed under local or general anesthesia. Dr. Fishman strategically places incisions in the natural creases behind the ears, ensuring minimal visible scarring. The procedure involves sculpting and repositioning ear cartilage to achieve a more balanced appearance.
