Ear Surgery (Otoplasty)
Ear surgery, also known as otoplasty, improves the shape of your ear if you are someone who has the appearance of protruding or overly large ears. Ear surgery will help to improve the overall harmony of your facial features, which may help to improve self-confidence. Specialized techniques that place incisions inconspicuously inside or behind the ear can create a natural appearance.
Recovery from Ear Surgery (Otoplasty)
You may engage in light activity the day after your surgery; a return to more normal activity may take one to two weeks.
Your appearance will gradually refine over the following four to six weeks. Proper skin care and sun protection are essential during healing. Results from ear surgery are generally permanent.
Ear surgery can be combined with other facial procedures, such as nose surgery (rhinoplasty) or more general facelift surgery, to bring balance and proportion to the face.
