Ear Surgery (Otoplasty) Colts Neck, NJ | Dr. Rudolf Thompson

Understanding Ear Surgery

Ear surgery, clinically known as otoplasty, is a specialized surgical procedure designed to correct and enhance the shape, position, and proportion of the ears. This procedure can address congenital ear defects, ear protrusion, and asymmetry, providing patients with improved aesthetic and functional outcomes.

Ear Surgery Candidacy

Ideal candidates for ear surgery have stable ear cartilage and specific concerns about their ear appearance. The procedure can address multiple ear-related issues, including:

• Protruding ears
• Congenital ear defects
• Ear asymmetry
• Injury-related ear deformities
• Oversized ears (macrotia)

Surgical Techniques

Dr. Rudolf Thompson employs advanced otoplasty techniques tailored to each patient's unique ear structure and aesthetic goals. The specific approach depends on the desired corrections, with incisions strategically placed to minimize visible scarring.

Common Surgical Approaches

• Posterior ear incisions for repositioning
• Inconspicuous incisions within ear folds
• Cartilage reshaping and repositioning
• Internal non-removable sutures for structural support

Recovery and Results

Following ear surgery, patients can expect a structured recovery process. A post-surgical ear garment helps the ears adapt to their new shape, and most patients can resume normal activities within 10 days. Results are typically long-lasting and designed to provide natural-looking ear enhancement.

Potential Surgical Risks

As with any surgical procedure, ear surgery involves potential risks that patients should carefully consider:

• Bleeding
• Infection
• Asymmetry
• Scarring
• Contour irregularities
