EAR RESHAPING SURGERY (OTOPLASTY) SOUTH BARRINGTON, IL | RENEE BURKE,
M.D.

UNDERSTANDING OTOPLASTY: EAR CORRECTION SURGERY

Protruding ears can disrupt overall facial harmony and potentially
impact self-confidence for both adults and children. Otoplasty, or
surgical ear revision, is a specialized procedure designed to improve
the angle and appearance of prominent or misshapen ears.

SURGICAL APPROACH AND TECHNIQUES

Dr. Burke utilizes advanced surgical techniques for patients
throughout northern Illinois, including Barrington, Arlington Heights,
Schaumburg, Crystal Lake, and Algonquin. Her approach focuses on
creating natural, balanced ear contours by strategically hiding
incisions behind or inside the ear.

PROCEDURE DETAILS

Otoplasty is typically performed as an outpatient procedure, with
patients receiving either general anesthesia or local anesthesia with
sedation. The specific technique depends on individual patient anatomy
and aesthetic goals.

SURGICAL OBJECTIVES

 	* Reduce prominent ear projection
	* Reshape ear cartilage
	* Create symmetrical ear appearance
	* Enhance overall facial proportion

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Recovery from otoplasty varies depending on the extent of surgical
correction. Patients can typically engage in light activities the day
after surgery, with full return to normal activities taking 1-2 weeks.
Aesthetic refinement continues over 4-6 weeks, with long-lasting
results.

PATIENT CONSIDERATIONS

Each patient's ear anatomy is unique, and Dr. Burke provides
personalized surgical planning to achieve the most natural and
harmonious outcome possible.
