Ear surgery/otoplastyEar surgery or otoplasty can be invaluable to relieve the mental stress and embarrassment associated with large or protruding ears, especially for children and adolescents. The shape and contour of the ear can be altered to complement a person's facial structure or head size. Performed with either local or general anesthesia, this procedure is done in the physician's office, in an outpatient surgical facility or in a hospital.
The procedure takes one to two hours and is followed by some soreness or discomfort which may be relieved by pain medications. Most patients return to normal daily activities within a week. Every year thousands of people achieve great success with this remarkable procedure. A revitalized body image can make you more comfortable with yourself and confident with others. For additional information or personal consultation, please find the doctor nearest you in our Physician Locator. You can be on your way to looking better and feeling better today! As with any medical procedure, there are certain inherent risks which should be discussed with a qualified physician. Costs vary depending upon the extent of the surgery and areas treated.
