Ear Surgery Westlake Village, CA | Schwartz Aesthetic Institute

Understanding Ear Surgery

Ear surgery, or otoplasty, is a specialized surgical procedure designed to reshape and resize ears that are protruding, large, or misshapen. Candidates for this procedure should be in good overall health and possess realistic expectations about surgical outcomes.

Benefits of Ear Surgery

Ear surgery offers significant cosmetic and psychological advantages for patients of all ages, including:

• A more positive body image
• An enhanced overall appearance
• Improved quality of life
• Protection from potential social challenges

Surgical Approach and Technique

Dr. Schwartz employs two primary surgical techniques to address ear imperfections:

• Precise cartilage removal and ear repositioning
• Strategic cartilage folding using specialized stitching techniques

Incisions are carefully placed behind the ear to ensure minimal visible scarring. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia to maximize patient comfort and safety.

Recovery and Post-Operative Care

Ear surgery recovery typically involves minimal discomfort. Patients can expect initial swelling and bruising, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication. Most individuals can resume normal activities within one week, with personalized guidance from Dr. Schwartz's team.

Patient Candidacy

Ear surgery is safe for adults and children over five years old. The procedure can significantly improve self-esteem and confidence for individuals experiencing emotional distress related to ear appearance.
