Understanding Otoplasty: Ear Correction Surgery

Otoplasty is a transformative surgical procedure designed to restore ears to a normal appearance. This versatile surgery can be performed on both adults and children, offering solutions for various ear-related aesthetic concerns.

Conditions Addressed by Otoplasty

Roseville Facial Plastic Surgery addresses multiple ear abnormalities through otoplasty, including:

  • Protruding ears
  • Torn earlobes and elongated piercings
  • Misshapen ears
  • Oversized ears
  • Asymmetrical ear structures
  • Ear injuries

Surgical Approach to Otoplasty

The otoplasty procedure varies depending on the patient's specific needs. For children, general anesthesia is typically used, while adults may opt for local anesthetic with sedation. The surgery typically takes 1 to 1.5 hours.

Surgical Techniques

Roseville Facial Plastic Surgery employs advanced techniques to reshape ears, including:

  • Pinning protruding ears to deep tissues
  • Trimming cartilage from the conchal bowl
  • Creating or enhancing the anti-helical fold

Recovery and Healing Process

Patients can expect a recovery period of seven to ten days. Mild swelling and bruising are common, and patients will receive specific post-operative instructions to ensure optimal healing.

Post-Surgical Care

Key recovery recommendations include:

  • Wearing a protective headband for 4-6 weeks
  • Avoiding vigorous exercise
  • Protecting ears from potential trauma
  • Following prescribed antibiotic and pain management protocols

Candidate Evaluation

Ideal otoplasty candidates include individuals who feel self-conscious about their ear appearance. The procedure is most commonly performed on children between five and six years old, helping to prevent potential social challenges.

Important Considerations

Each otoplasty is uniquely tailored to the patient's specific anatomical needs and aesthetic goals. A comprehensive consultation will determine the most appropriate surgical approach.

Sykes is worthless! he's very unqualified for what he claims he can do. I was't happy with the results and had to go see another doctor who was worse than sykes. On the top of that he's a very mean Thing and very Prejudice, so if you're someone with an accent stay away from this jerk!

Had two bad experiences with inner and outer nose work. Paid $16k and still my nose looks crooked and I still cannot breathe well. šŸ˜”

Utterly disappointed in Dr Sykes ability and skill to properly administer Botox and filler. I’ve never had filler prior to seeing Sykes. My wedding was in October 21 and I thought why not treat myself. Several months prior to my wedding I got my smile lines and Botox. Immediately following while still in the office and he hands me a mirror. For someone who’s never had filler I immediately saw plumpness in my smile line but I saw it as immediately swelling from the injections. Dr Sykes acknowledges that it is swollen but will look great in a few weeks. 4 weeks I make another appointment to put filler in my lips. Which I have never done. The Botox in which I had done was done poorly but he blamed me because ā€œyou can’t have bothā€. I wanted a smooth forehead and a mini brow lift. Well potentially you should have explained that to me as the DOCTOR. That what I’m wanting isn’t possible that’s the first thing I would tell a patient. save me $600 to put where it was needed Tell me that my biggest trouble area would be exasperated!. So he created extra lines above my brow in my forehead. First visit was 40 units! I’ve never had more than 20 in a visit. So here I am to correct that and fill my lips. I explain the issue out my forehead and his solution is another 20 units to correct it. 60 units in a matter of several weeks. Whelp you can imagine how scary that was for a few weeks. The filler around my smile lines has done nothing! It looks exactly the same way it did before. When I expressed my disappointment I was told that filler wasn’t going to make those lines go away for various different reasons. First $600 for a full syringe down the drain.So you advise against it after I’ve done the procedure. . . Get my lips done. Hands me the mirror and same thing lips are crazy swollen couldn’t tell what they would look like as far as shape goes but I smile go home and wait. A few weeks later I go back because I’m not happy. I tell the nurse who helped me my concers. My lips are lopsided and he has given my lip a beak like bubble under my Cupid’s bow. She acknowledges seeing my concers. I did want to go bigger so I also tell him my concers and he does his thing. Fast forward a few weeks I am now passed the window to get more filler as far as my wedding is concerned but my lips look awful. I look like I went to a Groupon special! No I paid $1200 for this mess! I really thought seeing Dr Sykes would be perfect. He has done 2 friends nose jobs and a client. They look amazing. I though who better to see than a doctor who practices symmetry by creating beautiful contoured noses. Any one is better and I mean anyone. It has been almost 6m. I really wanted to fix my lips I can’t stand to look at them anymore. I have gone to 2 different consults both doctors told me I either have to dissolve what I have or wait for it to dissolve more. That they won’t work on the filler that was put in a few months ago because it’s so poorly done. Worst part is I want to go bigger. They can’t even by making my lips bigger save the shape that they currently are because they are so messed up. Disappointed to say the least and you teach others to do injections. To think your teaching others to botch clients fillers is concerning.

As a medical consultant for many years, I have had the unique opportunity to observe Facial Plastic Surgeons all over Northern California interact with patients and observe their final outcomes. These experiences have encompassed trauma and cancer reconstruction, as well as aesthetic procedures. So, when I decided to pursue elective facial surgery myself, the decision regarding where to go was a ā€œno brainerā€. The results of Dr. Sykes surgeries were, in my opinion, far superior to others in his field. My results were no exception. I couldn’t be more pleased with my decision. I’m currently 6 months post-op and the results are remarkable. The care received from Dr. Sykes, his partner Dr. Kiener, and their entire staff has been amazing! I can’t recommend him highly enough. Thank you, Dr. Sykes!

Well, nobody has "asked me" yet if I have had plastic surgery! People that do know that I have undergone a facelift cannot believe how "natural" my face looks, yet "younger" than most women my age. Doctor Sykes and his team are exceptional. In the past I have worked with plastic surgeons and their staff professionally; and am knowledgeable in the field. My husband and I chose Dr. Sykes, even though we do not actually live in California, due to his credentials. Both of us are extremely pleased with the results. We recommend having your surgery along with your significant other at the same time - we had such a tremendous experience and you will not be disappointed!
