EAR RESHAPING (OTOPLASTY) HONOLULU, HI | ROBERT PETERSON, MD

UNDERSTANDING EAR RESHAPING SURGERY

Otoplasty addresses common ear appearance concerns that can impact
self-confidence. Many individuals experience challenges with
protruding, asymmetrical, or disproportionate ears, which may cause
psychological distress, especially during childhood and adolescence.

TYPES OF EAR DEFORMITIES

 	* Prominent ears extending outward from the head
	* Cupped ears with inward-folded outer rim
	* Lop ears with uneven positioning

COMMON CAUSES OF EAR DEFORMITIES

Ear shape variations can result from multiple factors, including:

 	* Genetic inheritance
	* Developmental abnormalities
	* Traumatic injuries
	* Congenital conditions

THE OTOPLASTY PROCEDURE

Otoplasty is a precise surgical technique designed to reshape and
reposition ears for improved aesthetic balance. The procedure
typically involves carefully sculpting ear cartilage through strategic
incisions behind the ear, creating a more harmonious appearance.

SURGICAL APPROACH

 	* Local or general anesthesia administration
	* Incision placement behind the ear
	* Cartilage reshaping and repositioning
	* Suturing to secure new ear contours

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Post-surgical recovery involves wearing protective headbands and
managing mild discomfort. Most patients return to normal activities
within one to two weeks, with complete healing and final results
emerging over several months.

POTENTIAL RISKS

 	* Minor infection risks
	* Temporary sensation changes
	* Potential asymmetry

ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS

For those hesitant about surgical intervention, alternative approaches
include ear molding techniques, temporary dermal fillers, and
non-surgical camouflage strategies.

PATIENT CANDIDACY

Ideal otoplasty candidates include individuals experiencing persistent
self-consciousness about ear appearance and maintaining realistic
expectations about surgical outcomes.
