Ear Reshaping Surgery (Otoplasty) in Easton, MD | Sullivan Surgery & Spa Easton

Understanding Otoplasty: Ear Surgery Expertise

Otoplasty, commonly known as ear surgery, is a precise surgical procedure designed to modify the shape, position, or proportion of the ears. Sullivan Surgery & Spa offers comprehensive ear reshaping solutions to enhance facial symmetry and boost patient confidence.

Procedure Overview

An otoplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia for children and local anesthesia for adults. The procedure involves a strategic incision hidden in the natural crease behind the ear, allowing surgeons to reshape the cartilage and reposition the ears closer to the head.

Potential Ear Surgery Corrections

• Reduce ear protrusion from the head
• Correct folded or asymmetrical ear tips
• Reshape elongated or disproportionate earlobes
• Address congenital ear deformities
• Remedy ear-related injuries

Surgical Technique and Safety

Sullivan Surgery & Spa prioritizes patient safety by collaborating exclusively with board-certified Maryland anesthesiologists. The ear surgery procedure typically takes one to two hours, depending on the complexity of the required corrections.

Recovery and Post-Operative Care

Following the procedure, patients will have protective bandages wrapped around the head to support healing. These initial bandages are usually removed within a week and replaced with smaller dressings. Dr. Sullivan provides comprehensive post-operative instructions to ensure optimal recovery and minimal discomfort.

Important Considerations

Otoplasty is considered a cosmetic procedure and is generally not covered by insurance. The specific suitability and potential risks can only be accurately determined during a personalized consultation with Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Kelly Sullivan.
