EAR RESHAPING (OTOPLASTY) BEVERLY HILLS, AZ | DR. CAT PLASTIC SURGERY

WHAT IS EAR RESHAPING (OTOPLASTY)?

Otoplasty, also known as ear shaping or ear pinning, is a surgical
procedure designed to alter the size, shape, or position of the ears.
Patients typically seek this procedure for aesthetic concerns,
including:

 	* Ears that protrude too far from the head
	* Disproportionate ear size compared to the head
	* Structural ear deformities like "lop ear" or "shell ear"
	* Ears affected by medical conditions or injury

CANDIDATE CONSIDERATIONS FOR OTOPLASTY

Otoplasty can be performed on patients of various ages, from children
to adults. Dr. Cat Begovic carefully evaluates each patient's unique
anatomy, overall health, and aesthetic goals during a comprehensive
consultation.

OTOPLASTY PROCEDURE IN BEVERLY HILLS

Dr. Cat performs otoplasty under general anesthesia, using precise
3.5X microscopic examination to ensure the most natural-looking
results. The surgical approach depends on the specific ear
modifications needed:

 	* Discrete incisions behind or within the inner ear crease
	* Cartilage reshaping or removal as needed
	* Repositioning of ear structure

PROCEDURE DURATION AND RECOVERY

The otoplasty procedure typically takes two to three hours. Patients
can return home the same day, with initial recovery involving:

 	* Protective ear bandages for approximately one week
	* Minor swelling and redness for 2-3 weeks
	* Gradual return to normal activities

SCARRING AND RESULTS

Dr. Cat utilizes an advanced surgical technique that minimizes
scarring. Incisions are strategically placed in discrete ear creases,
and a comprehensive scar treatment plan helps ensure nearly invisible
surgical marks.

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

Most otoplasty procedures are considered cosmetic and are not
typically covered by insurance. The results are permanent and can
significantly improve a patient's confidence and appearance.

UNDERSTANDING OTOPLASTY: COMPREHENSIVE EAR CORRECTION PROCEDURE

Otoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure designed to address
various ear-related aesthetic concerns. Developed centuries ago and

modify ear shape, size, and positioning with precision and care.

tissue through strategic incisions, typically placed discreetly behind
the ear. The procedure can reshape, resize, or reposition ears to
create a more balanced and harmonious appearance.

BENEFITS OF EAR RESHAPING SURGERY

Beyond physical correction, otoplasty offers significant psychological
benefits. By addressing ear-related insecurities, patients often
experience improved self-confidence and reduced social anxiety,
particularly for younger patients who may face potential teasing or
bullying.

and anti-helix cartilage folds.

	* Closure with dissolvable sutures
