EAR SURGERY (OTOPLASTY) IN ANN ARBOR, MI | PIERRE LAPAINE MD

UNDERSTANDING EAR SURGERY

Ear surgery, medically known as otoplasty, is a specialized procedure
designed to correct ear concerns such as prominent, uneven, or
protruding ears. This transformative treatment helps patients achieve
a more balanced and harmonious facial appearance.

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM EAR SURGERY?

Otoplasty is commonly performed on children aged 7-8 years old, but
adults can also benefit from this procedure. Candidates typically
include individuals with:

 	* Large or protruding ears
	* Uneven ear symmetry
	* Ear deformities
	* Torn or damaged ear lobes

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE

Pierre Lapaine MD utilizes an advanced cartilage excision technique to
reshape ears. Incisions are strategically placed behind the ear in
natural skin creases, ensuring minimal visible scarring. The procedure
involves removing prominent cartilage and using precise suturing
techniques to create natural-looking ear contours.

BENEFITS OF EAR SURGERY IN ANN ARBOR

 	* Improved self-confidence
	* Enhanced aesthetic appearance
	* Reduced potential for social teasing
	* Long-lasting ear reshaping results

RECOVERY AND AFTERCARE

Patients can expect to wear a protective headband following the
procedure. Most individuals can resume non-contact physical activities
after two weeks, with careful attention to avoiding ear trauma during
the healing process.
