Ear Pinning Surgery (Otoplasty) Fremont, CA | Eric Okamoto, MD

Understanding Otoplasty: Ear Reshaping Procedure

When ears "stick out" from the head, children often become targets of ridicule. Dr. Eric Okamoto specializes in otoplasty, a surgical procedure designed to address prominent or protruding ears. With his unique background as a former ear, nose, and throat surgeon, Dr. Okamoto offers expert precision in ear reshaping.

Key Anatomical Considerations in Ear Reshaping

Successful otoplasty requires correcting specific anatomical features that contribute to prominent ears. These may include:

Excessive cartilage development
Improper ear cartilage folding
Disproportionate ear-to-head positioning

Otoplasty Expertise in Fremont

Dr. Okamoto's specialized training enables him to develop personalized surgical approaches tailored to each patient's unique ear structure. His comprehensive understanding of ear anatomy ensures precise and natural-looking results.

Otoplasty Candidacy and Considerations

Ear pinning surgery can benefit both children and adults experiencing self-consciousness about ear prominence. Typically, the procedure is most commonly performed on children between ages 4-14, when ear cartilage is more malleable.

Dr. Okamoto has been nothing short of amazing. When I first walked in, I had expectations of what I wanted. I explained to him what I did not like, and from there, he provided me a detailed drawing of those goals I had, let me know if my expectations could be met, and gave me my options. I was very fortunate that I had multiple options that could help me achieve those goals. You see, after losing a lot of weight, I was pretty rough with some extra skin. I wanted a tummy tuck, but did not want a 6 pack. Crazy right? I told Dr. Okamoto, that wasn't me! No one would believe if all of a sudden, I had some crazy extra skin, then suddenly I walked out with a 6 pack. So, I opted for a mini tummy tuck and boy, that was the BEST thing I could've ever done! With my Mommy makeover, I not only got a great looking stomach, I got some new additions to my chest area! I can finally wear that swim suit with great results! Thank you Dr. Okamoto! You're truly a genius! My scars are HARDLY there and I couldn't be happier!

I don’t trust him, this guy is a liar. He did a consult for 2nd opinion and lied to my face. I’ll never forget what he did to me. It’s been 20 yrs but still I’m bothered by it.

Abdominoplasty Surgery and liposuction 4/13/23; I paid for lipo of flank and bra midriff areas, he lipo'd my upper hips, which I didn't expect and it appears that my bra line wasn't even touched. Abdominoplasty; he placed my belly button to low, and left bunched up hard lumps of sutured skin and tissue at my pelvis pubic-panty line which is still there and painful a year later like a tree branch at the suture line, also liposuction to my Abdomin was uneven; R side he left pocket of fat compared to flat L side. There was an over night stay, during the stay the over night nurse caused a large blister on my right thigh from shearing which happend from pulling the plastic pad or sheet from under me without turning me over, the scar is still there. I'm an RN and have worked for 45 years in nursing. I was sent home from surgery with NO drains and bled all over everything all the way home and for 3 days. the drain hole healed fast, causing the accumulation of bloody fluid, which collected in my Abdomen and hips for months. I should have insisted on drains. He does no History and physical nor pre surgery labs to check blood health, I became very anemic within the weeks after surgery due to blood loss. The information on WHAT to expect post op was very limited. Do your post op care and expectation research before surgery!!!! It's NOT a walk in the park. Dr. doesn't tell you everything you need to know. He didn't offer a compression garment or FAHA nor inform me of lymphatic drainage massage, you need to know how important it is. I found out months later online!! When I mentioned it, he then let me know I could have one free FAHA and they mailed me one. It was really too late for post op compression. Another thing, I was told I might have some numbness around my umbilical area, yes about 6 inches around it that is still totally numb. Total numbness 12 Months later, no sign of feeling. I need 2 more surgeries, but will choose another surgeon! BTW he was using and old inaccurate scale 10Lbs off, from mid century. It was never correct, so I supplied one for his office. Just had my 1 year post op visit today. New scale still in good use, my weight 25Lb less than 6 months ago. Dr was amazed at my weight loss. it wasn't easy, he explained away all my complaints and wanted me to sign a waiver so he could use my before and after pictures from my hard work dieting and exercise. I decined. He said I should have lost the weight before he did the surgery. I do agree.

I went in for a consult a while back. This rating is for the office staff and Dr. Okamoto. The office is very welcoming, I was greeted by a kind front desk receptionist Danna who was very helpful with booking my appointment and doing a follow up with me. Dr. Okamoto I can tell has many years of experience, he answered all my questions and was very helpful in understanding me. I do recommend him if you want someone with many years of experience and knowledge.
