Otoplasty For Prominent Ears

Otoplasty, also notably known as ear surgery, can improve the symmetry and shape of misshapen or overly-large ears. Otoplasty is commonly performed on children and adolescents between the ages of 4 to 14 who suffer from protruding ears as a result from genetics or trauma. Learn more about otoplasty and how it can help you achieve facial balance.

The Benefits Of Otoplasty

Otoplasty can change the size, position, or proportion of your ears. Patients may consider otoplasty to:

• Reshape overly-large ears that are disproportionate to your head
• Reframe ears that fold over on the top
• Repair protruded ears
• Revise or improve upon results from a previous otoplasty surgery

There are many benefits of undergoing otoplasty. Ear surgery can address aesthetic concerns, improve ear shape, reduce ear size, and can help boost your overall confidence.

How Is Otoplasty Performed?

Otoplasty is often performed on children, but adults and teenagers may opt for the procedure as well. Otoplasty incorporates ear pinning to successfully reshape the ears and bring them closer to the head. A small and discreet incision will be made at the back of the ear to access the cartilage. This cartilage or soft tissue may be reshaped or re-sculpted for natural-looking results. Depending on your specific case, excess cartilage may be removed to alter the size or prominence of your ears.

Ear surgery can address outward-pointing ears or overly-large ears in adolescents and adults, helping to enhance your overall profile. Dr. Asaadi will discuss otoplasty with you to determine if ear surgery is right for you or your child.
