UNDERSTANDING EAR SURGERY (OTOPLASTY)

Ear surgery, medically known as otoplasty, is a specialized plastic
surgery procedure designed to address prominent or differently shaped
ears. Patients often seek this treatment to improve ear appearance and
alleviate self-consciousness related to ear structure.

COMMON EAR CONDITIONS ADDRESSED

Otoplasty can effectively treat multiple ear-related concerns,
including:

 	* Protruding ears extending outward from the head
	* "Lop ear" where the ear tip folds down and forward
	* "Cupped ear" characterized by a very small ear structure
	* "Shell ear" lacking natural outer rim curves and creases
	* Large or stretched earlobes
	* Earlobes with significant creases or wrinkles

AGE CONSIDERATIONS FOR EAR SURGERY

Ear surgery can be performed on both children and adults. Since ears
are nearly fully developed by age four, early intervention can
minimize potential teasing and psychological impact. Adult patients
can also successfully undergo the procedure with comparable safety
profiles.

CANDIDACY FOR OTOPLASTY IN AUBURN, CA

Ideal candidates for ear surgery include individuals who:

 	* Feel self-conscious about ear appearance
	* Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
	* Understand that complete symmetry is not guaranteed
	* Are in good overall health

SURGICAL APPROACH

Freed Plastic Surgery customizes each ear surgery to address
individual patient needs. The procedure can be performed under local
or general anesthesia as an outpatient treatment, with techniques
tailored to specific ear concerns.

RECOVERY AND POST-SURGICAL CARE

Patients can expect a structured recovery process following ear
surgery:

 	* Gauze covering ears removed after 24 hours
	* Careful showering permitted
	* Daily antibiotic ointment application
	* Headband or ace wrap worn for initial two weeks
	* Limited physical activity during recovery
