EAR RESHAPING (OTOPLASTY) METAIRIE, LA | DR. JULES WALTERS - BOARD
CERTIFIED PLASTIC SURGEON

ABOUT COSMETIC EAR SURGERY

Ears that appear to protrude outward, are asymmetrical or misshapen,
or look unnaturally big can negatively impact self-esteem, especially
at a young age. Otoplasty (ear reshaping) is a cosmetic procedure that
helps recontour the ears' size, position, and shape to produce a
normal appearance.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR OTOPLASTY

Ear reshaping surgery can be performed at any age, though it is most
common among children and recommended before elementary school. By six
years of age, this surgery is safe and effective. Ideal candidates
include:

 	* Individuals feeling embarrassed by ear shape or size
	* Children with protruding or misshapen ears
	* Patients with torn, stretched, or damaged earlobes

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE

The otoplasty procedure is performed using anesthesia, which can be
general, IV sedation, or local anesthesia. Typically, the incision is
placed around the back portion of the ear or within inner folds.
During surgery, cartilage is manipulated to create a natural-looking
appearance.

KEY SURGICAL CONSIDERATIONS

 	* Both ears are usually addressed to ensure symmetry
	* Incisions are carefully stitched and protected
	* Procedure aims to create a balanced, natural ear contour

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

After the procedure, patients will heal at home with specific
post-operative instructions. Dr. Walters recommends a follow-up
appointment within 3 to 5 days to remove coverings and assess surgical
results. Patients can expect immediate visible improvements that
continue to refine during the healing process.

PROCEDURE BENEFITS

 	* Enhanced self-confidence
	* Improved ear symmetry
	* Natural-looking ear contour
	* Potential reduction in social anxiety

OTOPLASTY (EAR PINNING SURGERY) METAIRIE, LA | FELIX BOPP, MD

UNDERSTANDING OTOPLASTY: EAR RESHAPING SURGERY

Oversized or protruding ears can significantly impact an individual's
self-confidence. Otoplasty, commonly known as ear pinning surgery,
offers a transformative solution for patients seeking to improve their
ear aesthetics.

WHAT IS OTOPLASTY?

Otoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to surgically alter ear
shape, size, and proportion. Most patients undergo this procedure to
reposition protruding ears closer to the head, creating a more
harmonious facial appearance.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUES

Dr. Felix Bopp employs multiple techniques tailored to each patient's
unique ear structure:

 	* Cartilage excision for patients with excess ear tissue
	* Ear re-sculpting for overall ear size reduction
	* Precise pinning to reposition ears closer to the head

CANDIDATE ELIGIBILITY

Otoplasty is suitable for individuals of all ages, though it is most
commonly performed on children. Patients as young as four years old,
when ears are nearly at their adult shape, can consider the procedure.

PROCEDURE DETAILS

The surgical approach involves minimal, strategically placed incisions
behind the ears. This technique ensures that any resulting scars
remain virtually invisible to the naked eye.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Recovery from otoplasty is typically straightforward. Patients can
expect:

 	* Compression garment for initial 24 hours
	* Protective headband for subsequent days
	* Swelling subsides within a few days
	* Return to normal routine within one week

PERMANENT TRANSFORMATION

Otoplasty results are permanent. Once the ears are surgically
corrected, their new shape and position remain stable throughout the
patient's life.
