 

EAR RESHAPING SURGERY (OTOPLASTY) MINNETONKA, MN | DR STEPHANIE PENG

UNDERSTANDING OTOPLASTY: EAR CORRECTION SURGERY

When ear appearance impacts self-confidence, otoplasty offers a
transformative solution. This reconstructive surgery can reshape,
resize, and reposition ears to create a more natural and balanced
look. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Stephanie Peng specializes
in precise ear correction techniques.

WHAT IS OTOPLASTY?

Otoplasty is a surgical procedure focusing on the outer ear's
cartilage structure. When ear cartilage doesn't develop properly
during youth, it can significantly affect ear size, shape, and
positioning. This procedure addresses various ear-related cosmetic
concerns.

TYPES OF OTOPLASTY PROCEDURES

 	* EAR AUGMENTATION:
 	* EAR PINNING:
 	* EAR REDUCTION:

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR OTOPLASTY

SP Plastic Surgery evaluates patients based on specific criteria to
ensure optimal surgical outcomes:

 	* Adult patients (18 years and older)
	* Good overall health
	* Non-smokers
	* Clear, personal aesthetic goals

SURGICAL PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

Otoplasty typically takes one to three hours, performed under general
anesthesia. The surgical process involves precise incisions, typically
placed behind the ear or within cartilage folds to minimize
visibility.

RECOVERY AND AFTERCARE

Following otoplasty, patients receive comprehensive post-surgical
instructions to ensure proper healing:

 	* Maintain clean, dry ear dressings
	* Avoid touching or scratching ears
	* Follow prescribed medication protocols
	* Wear a protective headband during initial recovery

POTENTIAL SURGICAL CONSIDERATIONS

Like all surgical procedures, otoplasty involves potential risks such
as temporary swelling, bruising, and minor sensory changes. Dr. Peng
thoroughly discusses these factors during comprehensive consultations.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
