 

EAR RESHAPING SURGERY (OTOPLASTY) IN POULSBO, WA

UNDERSTANDING OTOPLASTY EAR CORRECTION PROCEDURE

Otoplasty, or outer ear surgery, addresses prominent ears that can
cause self-consciousness for children and adults. The surgical
procedure repositions ears to lie closer to the head, reducing ear
protrusion and improving aesthetic appearance.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE

Jungkeit Michael C MD performs otoplasty as an outpatient procedure
with the following key steps:

 	* Make an incision behind the ear
	* Sculpt and reshape cartilage
	* Use specialized stitching techniques to pin ears closer to the head
	* Create minimal, predominantly hidden scarring

POTENTIAL SURGICAL RISKS

While otoplasty complications are generally minimal, potential risks
include:

 	* Infection
	* Blood clots (hematoma)
	* Asymmetry
	* Temporary numbness
	* Potential suture displacement

RECOVERY AND HEALING PROCESS

Post-surgical recovery involves careful management to ensure optimal
results. Patients can expect a structured healing protocol that
includes bandaging, incision care, and gradual return to normal
activities.

POST-PROCEDURE CARE

Recovery guidelines include:

 	* Initial head wrapping to reduce blood clot risk
	* Daily incision cleaning
	* Protective headband for one month
	* Suture removal approximately one week after surgery
	* Gradual return to physical activities

ACTIVITY RESTRICTIONS

Dr. Jungkeit provides personalized guidance on activity levels,
typically recommending:

 	* Light exercise after 4 weeks
	* Contact sports resume after 8 weeks
	* Individualized recovery plan based on patient examination
