UNDERSTANDING OTOPLASTY IN MARYLAND

Dr. Adam Tattelbaum provides comprehensive otoplasty procedures for
patients throughout Maryland, Northern Virginia, and Washington DC
from his offices in Rockville, MD, and McLean, VA.

WHAT IS OTOPLASTY?

Otoplasty, or ear surgery, is a specialized procedure designed to
modify the appearance, shape, and position of the ears. This surgical
intervention can address various ear-related concerns, helping
patients achieve a more balanced and confident aesthetic.

OTOPLASTY PROCEDURE OPTIONS

 	* Ear Reconstruction: Addressing underdeveloped or traumatically
injured ears
	* Ear Reduction: Minimizing large or prominent ear structures
	* Ear Pinning: Reducing the distance between ears and the head
	* Earlobe Surgery: Correcting specific earlobe concerns

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE

During the procedure, Dr. Tattelbaum carefully places incisions behind
the ear, exposing the cartilage framework. The cartilage is then
reshaped through precise techniques including scoring, suturing, and
selective removal to achieve the desired ear configuration.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR OTOPLASTY

Otoplasty is suitable for individuals with various ear-related
concerns, including:

 	* Large or protruding ears
	* Enlarged earlobes
	* Congenital ear deformities
	* Asymmetrical ear structures

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Typical otoplasty recovery takes several weeks. Patients can usually
resume normal activities within a few days, though complete healing
may take up to six weeks. Temporary swelling, bruising, and mild
discomfort are common during the initial recovery period.

POTENTIAL RISKS AND CONSIDERATIONS

While otoplasty is generally safe, potential risks include infection,
blood clots, and rare instances of overcorrection. Dr. Tattelbaum
thoroughly discusses these considerations during the initial
consultation to ensure patient understanding and comfort.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERTISE

medical societies, Dr. Adam Tattelbaum brings extensive experience and
precision to every otoplasty procedure.
