EAR RESHAPING SURGERY (OTOPLASTY) IN MORGANTOWN, WV | MCCLELLAN
PLASTIC SURGERY

UNDERSTANDING OTOPLASTY: COMPREHENSIVE EAR RESHAPING PROCEDURE

Otoplasty is a specialized cosmetic surgical procedure designed to
modify the appearance of ears. As an elective procedure, it offers
patients three primary transformation options:

 	* Bringing ears closer to the head (ear pinning)
	* Decreasing the overall size of the ears
	* Reshaping ear structure and contour

REASONS FOR CHOOSING OTOPLASTY

Many patients seek otoplasty to address ear-related aesthetic
concerns. Children are particularly vulnerable to psychological
impacts from ear appearance, making early intervention beneficial. The
procedure offers significant advantages when performed during
childhood, as ear cartilage remains more pliable and responsive to
surgical modification.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR EAR RESHAPING SURGERY

McClellan Plastic Surgery maintains specific criteria for otoplasty
candidates:

 	* Non-smokers only to ensure optimal wound healing
	* Minimum patient age of 14 years
	* Psychological readiness for aesthetic transformation

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

Otoplasty is performed as an outpatient procedure at Monongalia
General Hospital under general anesthesia. The surgical approach
involves a discreet incision behind the ear, within the natural fold
where the ear meets the head. Surgeons carefully remove or reshape
skin and cartilage to achieve the desired aesthetic outcome.

PROCEDURE SPECIFICS

 	* Duration: 1 to 3 hours
	* Anesthesia: General
	* Location: Outpatient surgical facility
	* Potential cartilage stabilization with permanent positioning pin

POTENTIAL SURGICAL RISKS

While otoplasty is considered a low-risk procedure, patients should be
aware of potential complications:

 	* Infection
	* Bleeding
	* Scarring
	* Temporary or permanent numbness

REGIONAL SURGICAL EXPERTISE

Maryland, and Pennsylvania, including regions such as Beckley,
