EAR RESHAPING SURGERY (OTOPLASTY) MT PLEASANT, SC | DR. JOSEPH RUSSELL

UNDERSTANDING OTOPLASTY: EAR RESHAPING SURGERY

Ear surgery, known medically as otoplasty, offers a transformative
solution for individuals unhappy with their ear shape, size, or
position. Many people struggle with protruding or asymmetrical ears,
which can impact self-confidence and personal appearance.

COMMON EAR CONCERNS ADDRESSED BY OTOPLASTY

 	* Protruding ears that extend significantly from the head
	* Asymmetrical ear placement
	* Ear shape or size irregularities
	* Ear deformities caused by birth conditions or injury

SURGICAL APPROACH TO EAR RESHAPING

Dr. Joseph Russell utilizes advanced surgical techniques to reshape
ear cartilage and optimize ear positioning. The procedure involves
carefully manipulating ear structures to create a balanced, natural
appearance that complements facial features.

PROCEDURE DETAILS

Otoplasty is typically performed under anesthesia, with strategic
incisions placed behind the ear or within natural skin folds to
minimize visible scarring. The surgery can correct various ear
characteristics, including ear projection, symmetry, and overall
proportion.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR EAR SURGERY

Otoplasty can be performed on patients as young as 5-6 years old, when
ear cartilage is approximately 90% developed. The procedure is equally
suitable for children experiencing teasing, adolescents, and adults
seeking aesthetic improvements.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

 	* Typical recovery time: 1-2 weeks
	* Return to work/school: 5-7 days post-surgery
	* Night headband wear recommended for 6 weeks
	* Normal activities can resume after 10-14 days

POTENTIAL EAR SURGERY VARIATIONS

 	* Otopexy: Pinning protruding ears
	* Ear Reduction: Reducing overall ear size
	* Earlobe Reduction: Addressing oversized earlobes
