Ear Reshaping Surgery (Otoplasty) Englewood Cliffs, NJ | Cross Hudson Plastic Surgery

Understanding Otoplasty: Ear Surgery for Enhanced Facial Harmony

Otoplasty focuses on reshaping the ears to help patients overcome cosmetic concerns that affect self-confidence. The procedure, often called ear-pinning surgery, addresses various ear-related aesthetic challenges for both children and adults.

Benefits of Ear Surgery

Because ears frame the face, imperfections in their placement can significantly impact facial aesthetics. Cross Hudson Plastic Surgery offers personalized otoplasty procedures tailored to each patient's unique requirements.

Common Ear Concerns Addressed

• Asymmetrical ear shape
• Ears that protrude excessively
• Disproportionate ear size
• Pointed or folded ear tops

Otoplasty Procedure Details

Dr. Mordkovich performs ear surgery using a precise technique involving a small incision behind the ear. This approach minimizes visible scarring while allowing reshaping of cartilage and repositioning of ears for optimal aesthetic results.

Surgical Approach

The procedure typically takes approximately one hour. Adult patients receive local anesthesia with sedation, while younger patients may undergo general anesthesia to ensure comfort.

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery from otoplasty usually spans one to two weeks. Patients will wear protective dressings initially, followed by a nighttime headband to maintain the new ear position during healing.

Candidacy for Ear Surgery

Otoplasty is suitable for individuals of various ages, with many parents choosing the procedure for children before they start school to prevent potential social challenges related to ear appearance.
