COMMON REASONS FOR EARLOBE REPAIR

 	* Enlarged piercings

PROCEDURE OPTIONS

PIERCING HOLE CLOSURE

Suitable for patients with enlarged piercings. The hole is excised

Surgery typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes per earlobe, with stitches
removed five to seven days post-procedure.

CLEFT EARLOBE REPAIR

Optimal for patients with split earlobe deformities. The cleft is
excised in a precise pattern, with deep and superficial stitches
ensuring proper wound closure. Surgery duration ranges from 30 to 60
minutes per earlobe.

EARLOBE REJUVENATION

Addresses wrinkled or shrunken earlobes through fat injection and
optional chemical peeling. Fat is carefully harvested and injected to
restore volume and smooth skin texture.

SURGICAL EXPERTISE

Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon is crucial. Dr. Kirwan's
meticulous approach minimizes risks and ensures optimal aesthetic
outcomes, understanding the delicate aesthetics of earlobe
reconstruction.

RECOVERY EXPECTATIONS

 	* Return to work within 24 hours
	* Avoid contact sports for three weeks
	* Minor bleeding expected for 24 hours
	* Scars initially red, fading to thin white lines

POST-OPERATIVE CARE

Dr. Kirwan recommends sunblock to protect healing scars and
silicone-based scar cream to prevent keloid formation. Personalized
post-operative instructions ensure smooth recovery and optimal
results.

EAR RESHAPING SURGERY (OTOPLASTY) FARMINGTON, CT | NICHOLAS KARTER, MD

EAR RESHAPING SURGERY OVERVIEW

Otoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure designed to reshape and
reposition ears for improved facial harmony. At Connecticut Facial
Plastic Surgery, board-certified surgeons help patients of all ages
address ear-related aesthetic concerns.

CONDITIONS TREATED BY OTOPLASTY

 	* Protruding ears extending from the head
	* Oversized or disproportionate ears
	* Asymmetrical ear structures
	* Congenital ear deformities
	* Ear trauma or cauliflower ear

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR EAR SURGERY

Candidates for otoplasty include physically healthy individuals with
realistic expectations. The procedure is suitable for both children
and adults seeking aesthetic ear improvements.

THE OTOPLASTY PROCEDURE IN FARMINGTON

Connecticut Facial Plastic Surgery performs ear reshaping surgery
using precise techniques. The procedure typically involves a small
incision behind the ear, allowing surgeons to reposition cartilage and
create a more balanced appearance.

PROCEDURE DETAILS

 	* Incision placed in natural ear fold
	* Cartilage repositioning or removal
	* Permanent sutures to maintain new ear shape
	* Minimal scarring

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Patients return home the same day, with initial results visible after
bandage removal. Most individuals can resume normal activities within
one week, with complete healing occurring over several weeks.

RECOVERY GUIDELINES

 	* Temporary protective bandaging
	* Limited physical activities for six weeks
	* Follow specific post-operative instructions

PEDIATRIC OTOPLASTY CONSIDERATIONS

For children, ear surgery is typically recommended around ages five to
six when ears reach adult size. Early intervention can prevent
potential psychological impacts from teasing or self-consciousness.

POTENTIAL RISKS AND CONSIDERATIONS

While otoplasty is generally safe, potential risks include asymmetry,
scarring, and changes in skin sensation. Choosing an experienced,
board-certified surgeon significantly minimizes these risks.

EAR SURGERY SOUTHBURY, CT | AESTHETIQUE COSMETIC & LASER SURGERY
CENTER, L.L.C., PRASAD SUREDDI, MD

UNDERSTANDING EAR SURGERY (OTOPLASTY)

Large, protruding ears can cause significant self-consciousness,
particularly during childhood. Approximately 25% of children with
parents who have prominent ears will develop similar ear
characteristics. Otoplasty, or corrective ear surgery, offers a
permanent solution to reshape and reposition ear cartilage.

CANDIDACY FOR EAR SURGERY

Ear surgery can be performed safely on patients aged five and older.
By age five, ear cartilage has grown to nearly adult size and becomes
resilient enough to support corrective surgical techniques. Dr.
Sureddi utilizes specialized suture methods to reshape ear cartilages
into a natural, balanced appearance.

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

 	* Performed under local or general anesthesia
	* Approximately two-hour procedure
	* Incision made behind the ear to ensure no visible scarring
	* Recommended for children to be under general anesthesia

RECOVERY AND HEALING PROCESS

Post-surgical recovery involves specific protective measures to ensure
optimal healing:

 	* Large protective dressing applied for first three days
	* Children wear headband day and night for two weeks
	* Continued nighttime headband use for four additional weeks
	* Full activity resumption possible within two weeks
	* Contact sports permitted after six weeks

PATIENT EXPERIENCE

During initial recovery, patients may experience temporary numbness
and flattened ear positioning. Mild bruising is common but subsides
within two weeks. Most patients report minimal discomfort and feel
completely normalized within four to six weeks.

POTENTIAL BENEFITS

 	* Improved ear symmetry and proportion
	* Enhanced self-confidence
	* Permanent aesthetic correction
	* Minimal surgical intervention
