CENTRE FOR PLASTIC SURGERY: SCOTT A. BRENMAN, M.D., F.A.C.S.

UNDERSTANDING OTOPLASTY: EAR RESHAPING SURGERY

Otoplasty is a surgical procedure specifically designed to correct the
size and shape of a person's ears. Patients may seek this procedure
for various reasons, including congenital ear deformities, ear
asymmetry, or aesthetic concerns about ear proportions.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR EAR RESHAPING

The ideal candidates for otoplasty are individuals who feel
self-conscious about their ear appearance. This procedure is suitable
for patients of all ages, though many prefer early intervention. Key
candidate characteristics include:

 	* Healthy individuals
	* Non-smokers
	* Individuals with realistic expectations
	* Those with misshapen or protruding ears

OTOPLASTY PROCEDURE DETAILS

The otoplasty procedure is performed on an outpatient basis under
general anesthesia. Dr. Brenman carefully removes cartilage and skin,
reshaping the ears to achieve the desired aesthetic outcome. Strategic
incision placement behind the earlobe minimizes visible surgical
scarring.

SURGICAL APPROACH

During the procedure, the surgeon will precisely modify ear cartilage
and soft tissues to create a more balanced and proportionate ear
shape. The specific technique is tailored to each patient's unique
anatomical requirements.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Patients can expect immediate visible changes, though final results
develop over several months as healing progresses. Recovery typically
involves:

 	* Wearing special compression headwear
	* Returning to work or school within one week
	* Experiencing reduced swelling after 3-4 weeks
