ZURIARRAIN, MD, FACS

UNDERSTANDING OTOPLASTY IN MIAMI

Otoplasty is a transformative surgical procedure designed to reshape,
resize, or reposition prominent or misshapen ears. For individuals
experiencing emotional strain from ear appearance, this procedure
offers a path to improved self-confidence and facial balance.

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM OTOPLASTY?

Candidates for ear reshaping surgery include individuals with:

 	* Protruding ears
	* Oversized or disproportionate ear structures
	* Congenital ear abnormalities
	* Ear asymmetry

THE OTOPLASTY PROCEDURE

Dr. Zuriarrain performs otoplasty using precise surgical techniques to
modify ear cartilage. The procedure typically takes up to three hours
and can be performed under general or local anesthesia, depending on
the patient's age and specific requirements.

SURGICAL APPROACH

The surgical technique involves:

 	* Carefully placed incisions behind the ear
	* Reshaping or removing excess cartilage
	* Repositioning ears closer to the head
	* Minimal visible scarring

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Patients can expect immediate visual improvements, with final results
becoming apparent after swelling subsides. Most individuals return to
normal activities within one to two weeks, with complete healing
occurring over several months.

BENEFITS OF OTOPLASTY

 	* Enhanced facial symmetry
	* Improved self-confidence
	* Correction of congenital ear irregularities
	* Permanent, natural-looking results

AGE CONSIDERATIONS

Otoplasty can be performed on children as young as four years old,
provided they are emotionally mature and understand the procedure.
Adults can also successfully undergo ear reshaping surgery.

POTENTIAL RISKS

As with any surgical procedure, potential risks include asymmetry,
infection, changes in sensation, and scarring. Dr. Zuriarrain
discusses these comprehensively during the initial consultation.
