EAR PINNING SURGERY (OTOPLASTY) IN MIAMI, FL

WHAT IS COSMETIC OTOPLASTY?

Cosmetic otoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to correct
deformed or protruding ears. Parents often choose to have their
child's ears corrected during childhood, typically between ages 4 and
14, to prevent potential adolescent ridicule.

WHAT CAN OTOPLASTY ACCOMPLISH?

Dr. Sam Gershenbaum uses otoplasty to improve ear proportion, shape,
and position. The procedure can address congenital ear structural
defects that become more noticeable over time.

VARKARAKIS, MD, FACS

UNDERSTANDING EAR DEFORMITIES AND OTOPLASTY

Ear deformities can significantly impact an individual's self-esteem,
particularly for children who may experience social challenges due to
their appearance. Otoplasty offers a transformative solution for
correcting protruding, folded, or malformed ears, providing both
functional and psychological benefits.

WHAT IS OTOPLASTY?

Otoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reshape and reposition
ears that protrude or have structural abnormalities. The technique
involves addressing two primary ear deformities:

 	* Lack of anti-helical fold formation
	* Excessively deep ear cup (conchal bowl)

CANDIDACY AND AGE CONSIDERATIONS

Otoplasty can be performed on children as young as 6 years old, when
ears have reached approximately 90% of their adult size. The procedure
is particularly beneficial for children experiencing social challenges
or emotional distress related to their ear appearance.

SPECIALIZED EAR CORRECTION TECHNIQUES

Dr. Varkarakis utilizes advanced surgical techniques to customize
otoplasty procedures, including:

 	* Mustardé suture technique for fold creation
	* Cartilage modification to reshape ear structure
	* Minimal incision placement behind the ear

ADDITIONAL EAR RECONSTRUCTION SERVICES

Beyond standard otoplasty, Dr. Varkarakis offers specialized
treatments for complex ear conditions:

 	* Lop ear deformity correction
	* Microtia reconstruction
	* Earlobe repair and reconstruction

PROCEDURE DETAILS

Otoplasty is performed under general anesthesia for children and local
anesthesia with sedation for adults. The procedure typically takes a
few hours, with most patients returning to normal activities within
days of surgery.

SAFETY AND OUTCOMES

Otoplasty is considered a safe surgical procedure with high success
rates. The goal is not merely cosmetic improvement but also enhancing
the patient's psychological well-being and self-confidence.

challenges and boost self-esteem during critical developmental years.

realistic expectations. Individuals aged 16 and older can benefit from

result.
