 

EAR RESHAPING SURGERY (OTOPLASTY) DOTHAN, AL | DR. SCOTT ASHER

UNDERSTANDING OTOPLASTY: EAR RESHAPING SURGERY

Otoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure designed to improve the
shape, position, and proportion of the ears. At Southern Institute of
Plastic Surgery, patients can address cosmetic concerns or correct
ear-related birth defects through personalized ear reshaping
techniques.

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM OTOPLASTY?

Otoplasty is suitable for patients over five years old seeking to:

 	* Correct protruding ears
	* Improve ear symmetry
	* Address congenital ear deformities
	* Enhance facial profile and proportion

OTOPLASTY PROCEDURE DETAILS

Dr. Asher performs otoplasty using strategic incision techniques,
typically placed behind the ear or within natural ear folds. Under
general anesthesia, the procedure involves reshaping cartilage to
achieve the desired ear appearance and proportion.

OTOPLASTY RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Patients can expect immediate visual improvements following the
procedure. Swelling typically subsides within a few days, revealing
refined ear contours. Surgical scars are carefully concealed in
natural ear creases, ensuring minimal visibility.

PATIENT CONSIDERATIONS

Key factors to consider include potential pain management, which is
typically controlled with medication for one to two days
post-procedure. The results of otoplasty are generally permanent when
proper aftercare instructions are followed.

FREQUENTLY ADDRESSED CONCERNS

Many patients inquire about cartilage reduction and ear prominence.
During consultation, Dr. Asher evaluates individual ear
characteristics to develop a customized surgical approach that
minimizes cartilage and repositions ear tissues.
