Ear surgery/otoplasty

Ear 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.

Typically, an incision is made in the posterior portion of the ear to allow removal of excess skin and cartilage. The cartilage is folded onto itself to reshape the ear. A more pronounced fold in the central portion of the ear can bring the ear closer to the head, improving the appearance of the patient.

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.

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.
