Ear Surgery (Otoplasty) in East Rochester, NY

Understanding Otoplasty: Comprehensive Ear Correction Procedure

Otoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reshape, resize, or correct ear deformities caused by genetics, trauma, or congenital conditions. Graham Plastic Surgery offers specialized ear surgery techniques to normalize ear appearance and enhance patient confidence.

Conditions Addressed by Otoplasty

• Ear deformities (lop ear, cupped ear, shell ear)
• Protruding ears
• Ear size and prominence
• Stretched or damaged earlobes
• Congenital ear abnormalities

Ideal Candidates for Ear Surgery

The optimal age for otoplasty is between 5-6 years old, when ear cartilage has reached approximately 90% of adult size and children become more self-aware. Graham Plastic Surgery tailors each procedure to individual patient needs.

Surgical Approach

Otoplasty is a highly individualized procedure that may involve tissue excision, cartilage modification, and precise suturing techniques. The goal is to create balanced, natural-looking ears that harmonize with facial features.

Recovery and Expectations

Otoplasty is an outpatient procedure with minimal downtime. Patients can typically return to normal activities within a few days, wearing a protective headband for several weeks following surgery.

Potential Benefits

• Improved aesthetic appearance
• Enhanced self-confidence
• Correction of ear-related physical concerns
