EAR SURGERY BRYN MAWR, PA | BLOOM FACIAL PLASTIC SURGERY

UNDERSTANDING OTOPLASTY: EAR RESHAPING SURGERY

Otoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure designed to improve the
positioning and appearance of ears that are too small, too large,
protruding, or uneven. This low-risk surgery involves reshaping ear
cartilage through carefully hidden incisions to enhance both aesthetic
appearance and patient confidence.

CONDITIONS COMMONLY ADDRESSED BY EAR SURGERY

 	* Ears that significantly protrude from the head
	* Overly prominent ears
	* Ears that are too small
	* Stretched-out earlobes
	* Congenital ear deformities like "cup ear" or "lop ear"

AGE CONSIDERATIONS FOR OTOPLASTY

Ear surgery is particularly beneficial for children and teenagers who
may experience social challenges due to ear appearance. Bloom Facial
Plastic Surgery recommends patients be at least seven years old before
considering the procedure.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Recovery from otoplasty typically involves rest and restricted
activity for up to one week. Patients can expect mild, temporary side
effects such as itching, swelling, and tenderness. Final results are
permanent and become visible within two weeks, with continued
refinement possible over 12 months.

EARLOBE REPAIR SPECIALIZATION

In addition to ear reshaping, Dr. Bloom offers earlobe repair for
issues caused by heavy earrings, piercings, injuries, or aging.
Procedures can range from surgical suturing to injectable treatments,
typically completed in less than one hour.

UNDERSTANDING OTOPLASTY

Otoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reshape, resize, and
modify the ears. This specialized treatment addresses aesthetic
concerns for both children and adults experiencing ear-related
self-consciousness. The procedure offers transformative benefits by
correcting ear projection, size, and overall appearance.

CANDIDATE CRITERIA FOR EAR SURGERY

Ideal candidates for otoplasty include individuals seeking to address
specific ear-related concerns such as:

 	* Protruding or cupped ear configurations
	* Ear size or shape irregularities
	* Ear asymmetry
	* Ear damage from injuries or previous procedures

SURGICAL APPROACH AND TECHNIQUE

Main Line Plastic Surgery's otoplasty procedure involves precise
surgical techniques tailored to individual patient needs. Incisions
are strategically placed to minimize visible scarring, typically
behind the ear or within natural ear creases. The surgical approach
may involve cartilage trimming, repositioning, and strategic suturing
to achieve optimal aesthetic results.

POTENTIAL BENEFITS OF EAR SURGERY

 	* Enhanced self-image and confidence
	* Improved facial symmetry
	* Correction of cosmetic ear concerns

natural, balanced ear appearance.

including:

 	* Minor asymmetry

EAR PINNING SURGERY (OTOPLASTY) IN BRYN MAWR, OR

UNDERSTANDING OTOPLASTY: ENHANCING EAR AESTHETICS

Otoplasty, commonly known as ear pinning surgery, is a transformative
procedure designed to correct the shape, size, or projection of ears.
The ears play a crucial role in facial proportion and balance, and
when they appear unusual or disproportionate, they can significantly
impact an individual's self-confidence.

BENEFITS OF EAR PINNING SURGERY

 	* Improve facial harmony and proportion
	* Reduce ear protrusion
	* Enhance self-confidence and appearance
	* Correct congenital ear malformations

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR OTOPLASTY

The ideal otoplasty candidate is an individual who:

 	* Is unhappy with current ear appearance
	* Has realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
	* Is in good overall health
	* Is at least five years old (when ears are 85-90% developed)

THE OTOPLASTY PROCEDURE

During the procedure, Dr. Lohner will make a small incision behind the
ear or along its natural crease. Through this incision, he will
reshape the cartilage and reposition the ear to achieve the desired
aesthetic result. The entire process typically takes two to three
hours and is performed under local or general anesthesia.

RECOVERY AND AFTERCARE

Otoplasty recovery generally takes one to two weeks. Patients can
expect some initial bruising and swelling, which will gradually
subside. Most individuals can return to work or school within seven to
ten days.

POST-SURGICAL RESTRICTIONS

 	* Avoid strenuous exercise for four weeks
	* Refrain from heavy lifting for three weeks
	* Avoid contact sports for six weeks
	* Wear a protective headband during initial healing

COST CONSIDERATIONS

The cost of otoplasty varies depending on the specific correction
required. During the initial consultation, Dr. Lohner will provide a
comprehensive overview of the procedure and associated costs.
