EAR RESHAPING SURGERY (OTOPLASTY) BEACHWOOD, OH | DR. JARED C. STORCK

UNDERSTANDING OTOPLASTY: EAR RESHAPING SURGERY

Ear reshaping surgery, medically known as otoplasty, is a specialized
procedure designed to improve the shape and position of the ears. This
surgical technique can correct structural ear defects present since
birth or resulting from trauma, creating a more proportionate and
balanced facial appearance.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR OTOPLASTY

Otoplasty is suitable for individuals meeting specific criteria:

 	* Healthy individuals aged 5 and older
	* Patients with ears that protrude significantly from the head
	* Individuals seeking improved ear symmetry and proportion
	* Those dissatisfied with previous ear surgeries

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

The otoplasty procedure typically involves precise surgical techniques
to modify ear cartilage. Surgeons create or enhance the antihelical
fold and reduce enlarged conchal cartilage. Incisions are
strategically placed on the back surface of the ear or within natural
folds to minimize visible scarring.

OTOPLASTY RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Recovery from ear reshaping surgery is generally straightforward.
Patients can expect a head bandage post-procedure and should follow
specific care instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.

POTENTIAL RISKS AND CONSIDERATIONS

Like all surgical procedures, otoplasty carries certain risks:

 	* Potential bleeding
	* Risk of infection
	* Possible asymmetry
	* Temporary changes in skin sensation

POST-SURGICAL CARE RECOMMENDATIONS

Patients should prioritize rest and maintain head elevation to
minimize swelling. Physical activities should be limited during the
initial two-week recovery period. Pain management and adherence to
post-operative instructions are crucial for successful outcomes.
