Ear Surgery (Otoplasty) in Dallas, TX | Deniz Basci, MD

Understanding Ear Surgery

The ideal ear is one that is not noticed. Ear surgery, or otoplasty, addresses prominent or asymmetrical ears by creating more natural contours and proportions. The primary goal is to reposition ears closer to the head, reducing their prominence and improving overall facial harmony.

Common Reasons for Ear Surgery

• Reducing ear protrusion
• Creating more symmetrical ear appearance
• Correcting ear size and shape
• Addressing childhood or adult ear-related insecurities

Surgical Techniques

Dr. Deniz Basci employs specialized techniques to address individual ear morphology. An incision is typically made behind the ear, allowing precise cartilage modification. Advanced suture techniques are used to reshape and reposition the ear, creating a natural, balanced appearance.

Surgical Approach

• Customized treatment plan based on ear morphology
• Precise cartilage trimming and repositioning
• Meticulous tension-free suturing techniques
• Minimal scarring approach
