EAR RESHAPING SURGERY (OTOPLASTY) DALLAS, TX | DR. LILAND - PARK
CITIES PLASTIC SURGERY

UNDERSTANDING OTOPLASTY: EAR SURGERY EXPLAINED

Ear surgery, technically known as otoplasty, is a specialized
procedure designed to reshape, reposition, or reduce the size of
prominent ears. When performed by a skilled plastic surgeon, otoplasty
can dramatically improve facial symmetry and boost patient confidence.

WHO BENEFITS FROM EAR RESHAPING SURGERY?

Ideal candidates for otoplasty typically include:

 	* Adults and teenagers with protruding or prominent ears
	* Individuals seeking facial balance and symmetry
	* Patients with realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
	* Individuals in good overall health

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

The otoplasty procedure involves precise surgical techniques to modify
ear cartilage. Dr. Liland uses general anesthesia and makes strategic
incisions behind the ear to minimize visible scarring. The cartilage
is carefully reshaped or repositioned to create a more harmonious
appearance.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Recovery from otoplasty typically involves minimal discomfort and
requires wearing a protective headband during initial healing. Most
patients can return to normal activities within one to two weeks, with
final results becoming apparent as swelling subsides.

POTENTIAL RISKS AND CONSIDERATIONS

 	* Temporary swelling and mild discomfort
	* Potential changes in skin sensation
	* Rare risks of asymmetry or healing complications

COST CONSIDERATIONS

Otoplasty costs in Dallas vary depending on individual surgical
requirements. According to RealSelf, average procedure costs range
from $4,350 to potentially $30,000, with a personalized consultation
determining the exact price.

patient needs. During this process, he will review medical history,

EAR RESHAPING SURGERY (OTOPLASTY) DALLAS, TX | TODD A. POLLOCK, MD,
FACS

UNDERSTANDING OTOPLASTY: EAR CORRECTION SURGERY IN DALLAS

Large and protruding ears can significantly impact self-confidence and
facial symmetry. Otoplasty, or ear setback surgery, offers a surgical
solution for both children and adults seeking to correct prominent or
misshapen ears.

WHO IS AN IDEAL CANDIDATE FOR EAR SURGERY?

The ideal otoplasty candidate includes individuals with:

 	* Oddly shaped ears
	* Overly large ears
	* Ears that protrude significantly from the head

SURGICAL APPROACH TO EAR RESHAPING

Dr. Pollock performs ear setback surgery in an accredited office
operating room. The procedure typically takes 60 to 90 minutes, with
incisions carefully hidden behind the ears to minimize visible
scarring.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE

Through strategically placed incisions, Dr. Pollock reshapes the ear's
supporting cartilage, allowing him to resize and reposition ears
closer to the scalp. Most patients undergo the procedure using local
anesthesia, with children often receiving twilight sedation.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Otoplasty is an outpatient procedure with a relatively quick recovery.
Patients can typically return to normal activities within five to
seven days, though strenuous activities should be avoided for one to
two months.

EXPECTED OUTCOMES

While initial results are visible immediately, final outcomes become
apparent after three to six months when all swelling subsides. The
procedure offers permanent improvements in ear appearance and
symmetry.

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS FOR PEDIATRIC PATIENTS

For children, Dr. Pollock recommends delaying surgery until the ears
are fully developed, typically around age five or six. This ensures
the child can participate in the decision-making process and
understand the procedure.

COMBINING PROCEDURES

Adult patients have the option to combine otoplasty with other facial
enhancement procedures such as eyelid surgery or rhinoplasty for
comprehensive aesthetic improvements.
