OTOPLASTY (EAR SURGERY) IN CHARLOTTE, NC

The ears play an important role in facial aesthetics by framing the
face. The shape, symmetry, and prominence of the ears contribute to
overall facial harmony. Protruding or misshapen ears, often due to
genetics or trauma, can significantly impact self-confidence,
especially in children. Otoplasty, also known as "ear pinning," is an
effective surgical procedure to reshape the ears and create better
balance and proportion.

BENEFITS OF OTOPLASTY

	* Reduces prominence of protruding ears
	* Improves symmetry between ears
	* Reshapes abnormal ear contours

Dr. Joshua Surowitz performs otoplasty as an outpatient procedure at
Dilworth Facial Plastic Surgery in Charlotte. The surgery can be done
under local anesthesia or general anesthesia, depending on patient
preference. Techniques may include:

	* Internal sutures to recreate natural ear folds
	* Sutures to reposition the ears closer to the head
	* Cartilage removal or reshaping

All incisions are carefully hidden behind the ears to minimize visible
scarring.

OTOPLASTY RECOVERY

Patients can return home the same day as surgery. A protective
headband is worn for several weeks to support the newly shaped ears as
they heal. Most patients can resume normal daily activities within 1-2
weeks. Final results emerge over 2-3 months as swelling fully
resolves.

EARLOBE REPAIR AND REDUCTION

Dr. Surowitz also offers earlobe repair and reduction procedures for
patients with torn, stretched, or oversized earlobes. These are
