Who is a Good Candidate for Ear Surgery?

Otoplasty is appropriate for both children and adults who feel self-conscious about their ear appearance. Ideal candidates are in good mental and physical health, with realistic expectations about surgical outcomes. Children with asymmetric or protruding ears can particularly benefit from this procedure.

Surgical Approach

Dr. Zampell adjusts ear appearance by reshaping cartilage and skin. The surgical incision is strategically placed behind the ear, minimizing visible scarring. The procedure can address various anatomic variables, including ear angle and natural fold accentuation.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery typically requires wearing a protective strap or cap to maintain the new ear shape. Patients can usually resume light activities quickly, with full recovery taking several weeks. Dr. Zampell provides personalized aftercare instructions and pain management strategies.
