Otoplasty To Achieve Symmetrical Ears & Correct Asymmetries!
POSTED ON MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2016 AT 2:26 PM by Dr. Mokhtar Asaadi
Otoplasty, also known as ear reshaping, can address misshapen or asymmetrical ears caused by genetics or previous trauma. Ears that are overly-large, extend too far outward, or are uneven may be areas of concern for patients. Younger children may be self-conscious of their ears, especially while in a school setting with their peers. Teenagers and adults may opt for otoplasty, as well. At Asaadi Plastic Surgery, our New Jersey plastic surgeon specializes in ear reshaping to reduce the prominence of ears and achieve natural-looking results.
During ear surgery, the ears are carefully reshaped. Your plastic surgeon will place incisions behind the ears and sculpt the cartilage. Excess cartilage can be removed, if necessary, and remaining cartilage will be repositioned closer to the head to improve the appearance of outward-pointing ears. Though otoplasty can be performed on one ear, this procedure usually targets both ears in order to assure a balanced appearance.
Ear reshaping can bring about long-lasting improvements to your facial profile. Head dressings are worn in the days following your otoplasty procedure to ensure optimal healing. Patients begin to see improvements to the shape and contours of their ears immediately following surgery.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about otoplasty, as well as any of our other facial rejuvenation procedures. Contact our New Jersey office at 973.731.7000, our New York office at 212-938-0158, or you may request an appointment online today!
