BOARD CERTIFIED PLASTIC SURGEON

UNDERSTANDING OTOPLASTY: EAR RESHAPING SURGERY

Otoplasty is a specialized cosmetic surgical procedure designed to
improve the shape, size, and position of the ears. This procedure is
unique as it is the only cosmetic surgery commonly performed on young
children, addressing aesthetic concerns that can impact
self-confidence.

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM OTOPLASTY?

Ear surgery can benefit both children and adults with ear-related
aesthetic concerns. Children with protruding or misshapen ears can
avoid potential social challenges, while adults can achieve more
balanced facial proportions.

CONDITIONS CORRECTED BY OTOPLASTY

 	* Ears protruding from the head
	* Overly large ears
	* "Lop ears" folded down and forward
	* Disproportionately large earlobes
	* "Shell ear" with missing outer rim sections

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

Dr. Christopher Chang performs otoplasty as an outpatient procedure,
typically lasting a few hours. Incisions are strategically placed on
the back or within ear creases to minimize visibility. The ear
cartilage is carefully reshaped and sutured to create a more balanced
appearance.

EXPERTISE IN EAR SURGERY

Dr. Chang brings exceptional credentials from Harvard, NYU School of
Medicine, Yale, and Johns Hopkins. His specialized training in
pediatric craniofacial surgery and compassionate approach make him a
trusted surgeon for ear reshaping procedures.

RECOVERY AND AFTERCARE

Patients can return home the same day, with specific post-operative
instructions. Compression bandages protect the surgical site, and
patients must avoid pressure on the ears during initial healing. Full
recovery typically takes several weeks, with gradual return to normal
activities.

POTENTIAL RISKS

 	* Infection of skin or cartilage
	* Temporary or permanent numbness
	* Potential bleeding
	* Scar tissue formation

AGE CONSIDERATIONS

Otoplasty can be performed once ears have reached full growth,
typically around six years of age. Dr. Chang carefully evaluates each
patient to determine the most appropriate timing for the procedure.

cartilage, pinning ears back, or refining ear contours. A protective
head wrap is applied post-surgery to support healing.

RECOVERY AND AFTERCARE

of the ears. Commonly performed on children to correct protruding
ears, this procedure can also benefit adults seeking ear reshaping or
revision of previous surgeries.

OPTIMAL TIMING FOR EAR SURGERY

Annapolis Plastic Surgery recommends otoplasty after ear development
but during early childhood, typically around first grade. This timing
offers two significant advantages:

 	* More pliable ear cartilage that can be easily reshaped
	* Prevention of potential childhood social challenges related to ear
appearance

Luminis Health Anne Arundel Medical Center. The surgical approach
involves:

Currently, no effective non-surgical solutions exist for protruding
ears. While temporary products are available, they often provide
inconsistent results and may cause skin irritation.

Otoplasty is typically considered a cosmetic procedure and is not
usually covered by insurance. However, in cases of significant ear
deformities like microtia, partial insurance coverage might be
possible. Annapolis Plastic Surgery offers personalized consultations

KEY BENEFITS OF EAR SURGERY

 	* Corrects ears that stick out from the face
	* Improves facial symmetry
	* Boosts self-confidence
	* Minimizes potential social challenges

EARLOBE REPAIR EXPERTISE

Our practice specializes in repairing torn or damaged earlobes caused
by heavy earrings, accidental tears, or other injuries. The procedure
typically takes 30-60 minutes and can restore the natural appearance
of the earlobe with minimal scarring.

SURGICAL PRECISION AND EXPERTISE

Dr. Jennifer Parker Porter, a double board-certified facial plastic
surgeon with over two decades of experience, performs ear surgeries at
premier facilities including Johns Hopkins Ambulatory Surgery Center
and Georgetown University Hospital.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE

During otoplasty, surgeons make a discreet incision behind the ear,
allowing precise restructuring of ear cartilage and repositioning to
achieve a natural, balanced appearance.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Ear surgery typically takes one to two hours, with patients returning
to normal activities within one week. Patients should plan for limited
physical activity for approximately three weeks following the
procedure.

PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPACT OF EAR SURGERY

Beyond physical correction, ear surgery can significantly improve
self-esteem and confidence. Patients often report feeling more
comfortable in social and professional settings after addressing
ear-related aesthetic concerns.
