EAR RESHAPING (OTOPLASTY) LAWRENCE, KS | LAWRENCE PLASTIC SURGERY

UNDERSTANDING OTOPLASTY: EAR RESHAPING PROCEDURE

Otoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure designed to reshape and
correct ear abnormalities. This treatment helps patients achieve a
more balanced and natural ear appearance by addressing prominent or
irregularly shaped ears.

PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

Lawrence Plastic Surgery performs otoplasty to address various
ear-related concerns, primarily focusing on:

 	* Reducing ear prominence
	* Correcting cartilage structural abnormalities
	* Improving overall ear symmetry

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR OTOPLASTY

Lawrence Plastic Surgery recommends otoplasty for patients who:

 	* Are at least 5-6 years old
	* Have concerns about ear shape or prominence
	* Are physically healthy
	* Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

SURGICAL APPROACH

The otoplasty procedure typically involves creating an incision behind
the ear, allowing surgeons to reshape and reposition ear cartilage.
Depending on the patient's needs, the surgery can be performed under
local or general anesthesia.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Patients can expect mild discomfort following the procedure, with most
resuming regular activities within 24-48 hours. Initial swelling and
bruising gradually subside over one to two weeks, revealing improved
ear aesthetics.

KEY CONSIDERATIONS
