EAR RESHAPING SURGERY (OTOPLASTY) IN BOULDER, CO

UNDERSTANDING OTOPLASTY: EAR REDUCTION AND RESHAPING

Otoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure designed to reduce large
or protruding ears by modifying the ear's cartilage and positioning.
This procedure sets the ears closer to the head, creating a more
balanced and proportionate facial appearance.

KEY BENEFITS OF OTOPLASTY

 	* Reduces ear protrusion
	* Improves ear symmetry
	* Enhances facial harmony
	* Boosts self-confidence

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR EAR REDUCTION SURGERY

Mile High Plastic Surgery recommends otoplasty for patients who:

 	* Are in good overall health
	* Have ears that are disproportionately large or protruding
	* Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
	* Are typically between 4-14 years old, though adults can also
qualify

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

The otoplasty procedure involves creating a discreet incision behind
the ear, where it connects to the head. The surgeon carefully reshapes
the cartilage, removing excess tissue and repositioning the ear to
achieve a more natural appearance.

PROCEDURE HIGHLIGHTS

 	* Performed under general anesthesia
	* Typically completed as an outpatient procedure
	* Incisions strategically placed to minimize visible scarring
	* Customized approach for each patient's unique ear structure

RECOVERY AND POST-OPERATIVE CARE

Patients can expect a relatively straightforward recovery process.
Most individuals return to normal activities within 5-10 days, with
full healing occurring over several weeks.

RECOVERY RECOMMENDATIONS

 	* Rest and limit physical activities
	* Wear protective headbands as directed
	* Attend follow-up appointments
	* Avoid strenuous activities for 1-2 months

POTENTIAL RISKS AND CONSIDERATIONS

While otoplasty is generally safe, patients should be aware of
potential risks such as temporary swelling, bruising, and minor
asymmetry. A comprehensive consultation with Mile High Plastic Surgery
will address individual concerns and expectations.
