 

EAR RESHAPING SURGERY (OTOPLASTY) HUNTERSVILLE, NY | ERIK J. MILES, MD

UNDERSTANDING OTOPLASTY: CORRECTING PROMINENT EARS

Otoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to address overly prominent
ears that can cause lifelong embarrassment. This specialized technique
surgically corrects ear deformities, creating a more balanced and
aesthetically pleasing ear appearance.

COMMON EAR IRREGULARITIES TREATED

Two primary ear irregularities are typically addressed during
otoplasty:

 	* Conchal Bowl Deformity: When ear cartilage fails to fully form,
causing ears to protrude
	* Antihelical Fold Absence: Resulting in ears that lack natural
contours and appear "elfin"

SURGICAL APPROACH

The otoplasty procedure involves strategically placed incisions behind
the ear to minimize visible scarring. Surgical techniques may include:

 	* Reducing excess cartilage
	* Reshaping ear contours
	* Repositioning ears closer to the head

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR EAR RESHAPING

Otoplasty is suitable for both children and adults who desire improved
ear symmetry and proportion. Early intervention during infancy can be
particularly effective due to the soft, pliable cartilage.

AGE CONSIDERATIONS

While ear cartilage can sometimes be remolded in early infancy,
surgical intervention remains a reliable solution for patients of
various ages seeking ear correction.

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

During otoplasty, patients can expect:

 	* Minimal invasive techniques
	* Strategic incision placement
	* Potential use of stabilizing stitches
	* Temporary protective headband post-surgery

UNDERSTANDING EAR SURGERY (OTOPLASTY)

Ear surgery, medically known as otoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure

	* Cartilage reshaping and correction techniques

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE

Lake Norman Oral & Facial Surgery prioritizes minimal scarring through
strategic incision placement, typically behind the ears or along
natural ear folds. The procedure may involve adjusting the antihelical
fold and reducing conchal cartilage to achieve optimal ear aesthetics.

RECOVERY AND AFTERCARE

professional medical guidance. Patients can expect:

 	* Managed pain and discomfort
	* Protective ear dressings
	* Restricted physical activities
	* Follow-up consultations

POTENTIAL SURGICAL RISKS

EAR PINNING (OTOPLASTY) IN HIGH POINT, NY

UNDERSTANDING OTOPLASTY: EAR RESHAPING SURGERY

Otoplasty, commonly known as ear surgery, is a precision cosmetic
procedure designed to adjust the size, position, and proportion of the
ears. This surgical technique can effectively correct ears that
protrude from the head, address misshapen ears, and modify overly
large ear structures.

CANDIDACY FOR EAR SURGERY

Ideal candidates for otoplasty typically have one or more of the
following ear concerns:

 	* Overly large ears
	* Disproportionately shaped ears
	* Asymmetrical ear placement
	* Ears that prominently project from the head
	* Irregular ear shape resulting from injury

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

The otoplasty procedure involves two primary techniques: ear pinning
and cartilage reshaping. Surgeons make incisions behind the ear to
remove excess skin and fat, then recontour the cartilage to restore a
natural ear shape.

ANESTHESIA AND DURATION

Procedure duration typically spans two hours. Children receive general
anesthesia, while adults may opt for local anesthesia with sedation.
The surgery is performed on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to
return home the same day.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Patients can expect initial results immediately after surgery, with
final outcomes becoming evident once healing is complete. Most
individuals return to normal activities within one week, though
strenuous activities should be avoided for up to six weeks.

POTENTIAL RISKS

Like any surgical procedure, otoplasty carries minimal risks,
including:

 	* Temporary swelling and redness
	* Potential for infection
	* Rare instances of scarring
	* Possible asymmetry

LONG-TERM CONSIDERATIONS

Otoplasty results are generally permanent and do not typically require
follow-up surgeries. The procedure maintains ear functionality while
improving aesthetic appearance.

EARLOBE REPAIR IN CHARLOTTE, NY | NUANCE FACIAL PLASTICS

UNDERSTANDING EARLOBE REPAIR PROCEDURES

Elongated ear piercings, gauged ears, and torn earlobes are common
aesthetic concerns that can be effectively treated through specialized
surgical techniques. Earlobe repair focuses on restoring the natural
aesthetic contour of the ear, addressing structural irregularities
that may impact facial symmetry.

KEY REPAIR OBJECTIVES

 	* Restore natural ear margin and contour
	* Minimize visible scarring
	* Preserve overall ear shape and proportion

SURGICAL APPROACH TO EARLOBE RECONSTRUCTION

The most effective earlobe repair occurs before complete tissue
separation. Surgical techniques involve precise overcorrection to
ensure a natural-looking final result. Each procedure is customized to
address specific concerns such as elongated piercings or gauge-related
deformations.

GAUGED EARLOBE REPAIR CONSIDERATIONS

Repairing gauged earlobes requires careful tissue reduction and
symmetry restoration. Surgeons take meticulous steps to minimize
asymmetry and preserve the ear's natural contour, often achieving
excellent results through a single surgical intervention.

POST-PROCEDURE RECOVERY AND PIERCING GUIDELINES

Patients can typically return to normal activities immediately after
the procedure. Most individuals can re-pierce their ears 6-8 weeks
post-surgery, provided the new piercing avoids the surgical scar line.
More extensive reconstructive procedures may require a slightly longer
healing period.

PROCEDURE DETAILS

OTOPLASTY (EAR SURGERY) IN CHARLOTTE, NC

The ears play an important role in facial aesthetics by framing the
face. The shape, symmetry, and prominence of the ears contribute to
overall facial harmony. Protruding or misshapen ears, often due to

effective surgical procedure to reshape the ears and create better
balance and proportion.

BENEFITS OF OTOPLASTY

	* Reduces prominence of protruding ears
	* Improves symmetry between ears
	* Reshapes abnormal ear contours
	* Enhances overall facial harmony
	* Boosts self-confidence

All incisions are carefully hidden behind the ears to minimize visible
scarring.

OTOPLASTY RECOVERY

headband is worn for several weeks to support the newly shaped ears as
they heal. Most patients can resume normal daily activities within 1-2
weeks. Final results emerge over 2-3 months as swelling fully
resolves.

Otoplasty in Charlotte by Dr. Joshua Surowitz

OTOPLASTY (EAR SURGERY) IN CHARLOTTE, NC

The ears play an important role in framing the face and contributing
to overall facial aesthetics. Protruding or misshapen ears, often
caused by genetics or trauma, can significantly impact a person's
self-confidence. Otoplasty, also known as "ear pinning," is a powerful
surgical option to reshape the ears and create improved facial
harmony.

BENEFITS OF OTOPLASTY

	* Reduces prominence of ears
	* Improves symmetry and balance of ears
	* Enhances overall facial proportions
	* Boosts self-esteem, especially for children

THE OTOPLASTY PROCEDURE

At Dilworth Facial Plastic Surgery, Dr. Andrea Garcia and Dr. Joshua
Surowitz perform otoplasty as an outpatient procedure. The surgery may
involve:

	* Internal sutures to reshape ear cartilage
	* Sutures to pull ears closer to the head
	* Removal of excess cartilage if needed
	* Incisions hidden in natural creases behind the ear

OTOPLASTY RECOVERY

Patients can return home the same day as surgery. A protective
headband is worn for several weeks during the healing process. Most
patients are able to resume normal activities within 1-2 weeks as the
newly shaped ears heal.

EARLOBE REPAIR AND REDUCTION

In addition to otoplasty, Dilworth Facial Plastic Surgery offers
earlobe repair and reduction procedures. These can address stretched
or torn earlobes due to heavy earrings or trauma. Earlobe repair is a
simple in-office procedure with minimal downtime.
