Otoplasty (Ear Surgery) in Palm Harbor, FL

Understanding Ear Surgery

Ear surgery, or otoplasty, can address protruding or disproportionate ears for both children and adults in the Palm Harbor and Clearwater area. Dr. Moraitis specializes in repositioning ears to create a more natural, balanced appearance.

Surgical Techniques

Otoplasty involves precise surgical techniques to modify ear cartilage and create a more aesthetically pleasing ear shape. Key techniques include:

• Increasing the antihelical fold
• Reducing enlarged conchal cartilage
• Strategically placed, hidden incisions
• Secure internal suturing

Surgical Approach

Dr. Moraitis takes exceptional care to ensure natural-looking results. The goal is to reposition ears closer to the head without creating an unnatural "pinned back" appearance.

Candidates for Ear Surgery in Palm Harbor

Ideal candidates for otoplasty include:

• Children with prominent or protruding ears
• Adults experiencing self-consciousness about ear appearance
• Individuals with ear asymmetry
• Patients seeking improved facial proportion

Recovery and Results

Otoplasty results are typically immediate, with minimal scarring and long-lasting aesthetic improvements. Patients can expect ears to be permanently positioned closer to the head with concealed surgical marks.
