While it's mostly performed on children, otoplasty can benefit adults too.

Surgery can be especially beneficial for reducing both the physical and psychological effects of misshapen or overly large ears, an attribute that may lead to teasing or bullying. Restoring symmetry and balance to the ears can give the patient improved self-confidence, elevating quality of life.

What is ear surgery?

Otoplasty is a safe and effective surgical procedure designed to improve the shape, size, and position of the ears. It involves reshaping the cartilage and structure of the ear to establish a natural balance with other facial features.

What are some conditions that can be treated by ear surgery?

Otoplasty is a popular, effective plastic surgery procedure used to correct the aesthetic imperfections of the ears. Among its cosmetic advantages are

Reshapes overly large ears caused by macrotia
Reduces protrusion
Resets an ear that is ‘flopping down’ or is cupped abnormally along the outer rim
Repairs misshapen ears after injury

Our board-certified facial plastic surgeon can help you understand your options for ear reshaping surgery, a procedure that achieves aesthetically appealing and symmetrical ears with the potential to profoundly boost self-confidence. Our ear procedures result in balanced, beautiful outcomes - all while still looking natural.

Am I a candidate for ear surgery?

Ear surgery, or otoplasty, is a common cosmetic procedure that can benefit people of all ages. A good candidate for ear surgery typically has issues with the size or shape of their ears – from overly large ears to ears that are asymmetrical or protrude too much.

Adults who want to correct an issue with their ears due to genetics may find this procedure beneficial.
Children can also benefit in many cases; if a child's ears stick out too far, they may be prone to self-esteem issues. With otoplasty, these effects can be significantly reduced, and quality of life improved.

What is the procedure for otoplasty/ ear surgery?

During otoplasty, an incision will be made in the skin behind the ear, and cartilage and skin may be removed. Certain stitching techniques may also be used to fold and reshape the cartilage. Depending on the specifics of your case, our surgeon may use general anesthesia or local anesthesia combined with sedation during the procedure.
