Otoplasty (Ear Surgery) Houston, TX | Davis Kent G

Understanding Ear Surgery in Houston

Dr. Davis performs otoplasty, a surgical procedure designed to reduce ear size or pin back protruding ears. This treatment helps individuals with larger than average ears improve their appearance and self-confidence.

Who Can Benefit from Ear Surgery?

Ear pinning is typically performed on children age five or older and adults who experience self-consciousness about ear appearance. The procedure can effectively address ears that:

Protrude significantly from the head
Appear disproportionately large
Cause emotional distress or low self-esteem

The Otoplasty Procedure

Dr. Davis performs ear surgery using precise techniques to reshape ear cartilage. The procedure typically involves an incision behind or within the ear folds, allowing surgical modification of cartilage structure.

Procedure Details

Anesthesia: Local or general, depending on patient needs
Surgery Duration: One to three hours
Surgical Approach: Cartilage reshaping or removal
Outpatient Procedure: Patients return home same day

Benefits of Ear Surgery

While otoplasty is a cosmetic procedure, its psychological benefits can be profound. Patients often experience increased self-confidence and reduced self-consciousness about their ear appearance.

Recovery Expectations

Post-surgical recovery involves initial bandaging and temporary restrictions. Patients can expect some soreness, tenderness, and swelling, which typically subsides within several weeks.

Procedure Candidacy and Considerations

Dr. Davis evaluates each patient individually to determine otoplasty suitability. The procedure can address both ear reduction and augmentation through specialized cartilage grafting techniques.
