Understanding Otoplasty: Cosmetic Ear Surgery in Annapolis

Otoplasty is a specialized cosmetic procedure designed to alter the shape of the ears to complement an individual's head size and proportions. This surgical intervention addresses protruding, enlarged, or asymmetrical ears, helping patients improve their self-image and confidence.

Candidates for Otoplasty

Adults with concerns about earlobe size or shape
Patients seeking correction of torn or stretched earlobes

Dr. Duggal and her team are absolutely amazing! As soon as you walk into their office you have a sense of relaxation. The entire team is so welcoming and friendly. Dr. Duggal is the most amazing doctor and I am so thankful that I found her. My mom being a breast cancer survivor had questions about previous surgeries and Dr. Duggal addressed them with such kindness and gave the most realistic end goal. Dr. Duggal tells you exactly what your end result will be, even if it's not what you want to hear. She's realistic and precise, even down to botox. I can promise you that if you come see her for any type of service, you will never go to anyone else. I am so thankful for each of them!

I should have had a breast reduction done 30 years ago, but at 57, I finally decided to go through with it. One of the main reasons I hesitated was the recovery time, as I had heard many horror stories and couldn’t afford to take time off work. However, the entire process with Dr. Duggal was seamless. She listened to my concerns and did not push additional procedures, even though I initially thought I needed a tummy tuck as well and she said don’t become that person that Think she needs to change everything we can all pick things about our body we don’t like A breast reduction will really help make you feel better and honestly, don’t we all need a little more self-confidence? My procedure was lengthy, requiring me to spend the night at the surgery center. I was very apprehensive about this, but Nurse Jeannie was outstanding. She made sure I had everything I needed and ensured I was in zero pain throughout the process. Her encouragement when she saw the results was invaluable—she assured me I would be thrilled with how I looked. I also want to give a shout-out to Nurse Holly and scrub tech Stephanie. Hollie went above and beyond to reassure me, and Stephanie made me feel at home and visited me the next day. Now, one week post-surgery, I am extremely pleased with the results. I’ve experienced no pain or significant discomfort and followed their directions closely. If you’re considering this procedure, make time for it. I’m going back to my full time job after 7 days without a concern .I guarantee that the improvement in your quality of life will be well worth it. I look forward to enjoying the benefits of the results for a long time to come. ---

I had a breast reduction surgery with Dr. Duggal in May 2024, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for her exceptional care and skill. From the first consultation, she was incredibly kind and informative, making me feel truly heard and seen in a way I didn’t think possible. Dr. Duggal not only transformed something that had caused me physical and emotional pain for most of my life but also gave me newfound confidence and pride in my appearance. The results are nothing short of a miracle! Her office and nursing staff deserve a special mention as well. They were consistently responsive to all my questions, both before and after the surgery. Their support and professionalism made the entire process smooth and reassuring. Dr. Duggal’s bedside manner is outstanding. She’s available via text for any concerns or questions, even when the office is closed. Her dedication to her patients is evident, and I am so grateful to have had her as my surgeon. Thank you, Dr. Duggal, for changing my life!

Dr. Claire Duggal is the most professional, thoughtful, and supportive plastic surgeon there is. From the first moment I met Dr. Duggal and her nurse, Jessica they made me feel more comfortable than I would have ever expected. I didn’t feel judged or ashamed, which was a concern of mine given the procedure I was interested in. I’ve done extensive research over the years while I built up the courage to schedule a consultation and she was able to answer every question I had and walk me through her thought process for the approach that would meet my goals. I was shocked at how little pain I had after my surgery (under Twilight anesthesia) and how fast I healed. I am beyond thrilled with the results of my surgery and aftercare. I highly recommend Dr Duggal! She is highly skilled, detail oriented, and TRULY cares about setting realistic expectations as well as your happiness and comfort. The results are even better than I imagined. Each person in the office and on her surgical team were so kind and lovely. The only regret I have is waiting so long to set up my initial consultation.
