EAR RESHAPING (OTOPLASTY) BEVERLY HILLS, AZ | DR. CAT PLASTIC SURGERY

WHAT IS EAR RESHAPING (OTOPLASTY)?

Otoplasty, also known as ear shaping or ear pinning, is a surgical
procedure designed to alter the size, shape, or position of the ears.
Patients typically seek this procedure for aesthetic concerns,
including:

 	* Ears that protrude too far from the head
	* Disproportionate ear size compared to the head
	* Structural ear deformities like "lop ear" or "shell ear"
	* Ears affected by medical conditions or injury

CANDIDATE CONSIDERATIONS FOR OTOPLASTY

Otoplasty can be performed on patients of various ages, from children
to adults. Dr. Cat Begovic carefully evaluates each patient's unique
anatomy, overall health, and aesthetic goals during a comprehensive
consultation.

OTOPLASTY PROCEDURE IN BEVERLY HILLS

Dr. Cat performs otoplasty under general anesthesia, using precise
3.5X microscopic examination to ensure the most natural-looking
results. The surgical approach depends on the specific ear
modifications needed:

 	* Discrete incisions behind or within the inner ear crease
	* Cartilage reshaping or removal as needed
	* Repositioning of ear structure

PROCEDURE DURATION AND RECOVERY

The otoplasty procedure typically takes two to three hours. Patients
can return home the same day, with initial recovery involving:

 	* Protective ear bandages for approximately one week
	* Minor swelling and redness for 2-3 weeks
	* Gradual return to normal activities

SCARRING AND RESULTS

Dr. Cat utilizes an advanced surgical technique that minimizes
scarring. Incisions are strategically placed in discrete ear creases,
and a comprehensive scar treatment plan helps ensure nearly invisible
surgical marks.

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

Most otoplasty procedures are considered cosmetic and are not
typically covered by insurance. The results are permanent and can
significantly improve a patient's confidence and appearance.

UNDERSTANDING OTOPLASTY: COMPREHENSIVE EAR CORRECTION PROCEDURE

Otoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure designed to address
various ear-related aesthetic concerns. Developed centuries ago and
refined in the early 1900s, this technique allows plastic surgeons to
modify ear shape, size, and positioning with precision and care.

KEY CONDITIONS ADDRESSED BY OTOPLASTY

 	* Overly prominent or protruding ears
	* Disproportionate ear size
	* Misshapen earlobes
	* Ear asymmetry
	* Ear deformations from injury or previous procedures

PROCEDURE CHARACTERISTICS

Otoplasty involves carefully manipulating ear cartilage and soft
tissue through strategic incisions, typically placed discreetly behind
the ear. The procedure can reshape, resize, or reposition ears to
create a more balanced and harmonious appearance.

BENEFITS OF EAR RESHAPING SURGERY

Beyond physical correction, otoplasty offers significant psychological
benefits. By addressing ear-related insecurities, patients often
experience improved self-confidence and reduced social anxiety,
particularly for younger patients who may face potential teasing or
bullying.

PROCEDURE DETAILS

 	* Performed under general or local anesthesia
	* Typically completed in 1-2 hours
	* Minimal scarring due to strategic incision placement
	* Quick recovery with minimal downtime

SURGICAL APPROACH AT SPALDING DRIVE PLASTIC SURGERY

suturing, and personalized surgical planning.

CANDIDACY AND CONSIDERATIONS

Otoplasty is suitable for both children and adults. Many parents
choose early intervention to prevent potential psychological
challenges. Adult patients can also benefit from ear correction to
enhance facial symmetry and personal aesthetics.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Initial recovery typically takes 1-2 weeks, with patients wearing a
protective headband to support healing. Swelling subsides quickly,
revealing refined, natural-looking ear contours. Most patients return
to normal activities within a week.

in the crease behind each ear, carefully evaluating the ear's concha
and anti-helix cartilage folds.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE

 	* Precise suturing to reconstruct natural ear anatomy
	* Removal of excess skin and cartilage
	* Closure with dissolvable sutures
	* Incisions hidden discreetly behind the ears

procedure designed to address prominent or protruding ears. For
individuals feeling self-conscious about ear appearance, this
transformative procedure can significantly improve aesthetic
confidence and reduce unwanted attention.

WHAT CAUSES PROMINENT EARS?

Prominent ears typically result from three main anatomical variations:

 	* Inadequate ear cartilage folding
	* Oversized ear structures
	* Abnormal ear rotation

EAR SURGERY CANDIDACY

Otoplasty candidates include children and adults with:

 	* Ears that stick out significantly from the head
	* Congenital ear shape deformities
	* Ears causing social discomfort or self-consciousness

The minimum recommended age for the procedure is five years old, when
ear growth is nearly complete.

SURGICAL APPROACH IN WALNUT CREEK

Dr. Joseph Mele performs otoplasty as an outpatient procedure,
typically under local or general anesthesia. The surgery involves
carefully reshaping ear cartilage through strategic incisions behind
the ear, ensuring minimal visible scarring.

POTENTIAL EAR CORRECTIONS

Beyond prominent ears, otoplasty can address various ear deformities,
including:

 	* Cauliflower ear
	* Stahl's ear ("Spock ears")
	* Cupped ears
	* Congenital ear development issues

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Post-surgical recovery involves wearing a protective head dressing and
avoiding strenuous activities. Patients can typically resume normal

FACS

UNDERSTANDING OTOPLASTY: EAR CORRECTION SURGERY

Otoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure designed to reposition
and reshape ears for children and adults with large or protruding
ears. The technique creates a natural fold along the back of the ear,
allowing them to lie flush with the head and appear more balanced.

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM OTOPLASTY?

Ideal candidates include individuals experiencing:

 	* Protruding ears that extend significantly from the head
	* Asymmetrical or misshapen ear structures
	* Emotional self-consciousness related to ear appearance

BENEFITS OF EAR SURGERY

 	* Increases personal self-confidence
	* Minimizes potential social teasing
	* Creates balanced, natural-looking ear proportions

OTOPLASTY PROCEDURE DETAILS

Typically performed as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia
with sedation, otoplasty involves reshaping ear cartilage and
repositioning ears to achieve a more harmonious facial appearance. The
entire process takes approximately two to three hours.

SURGICAL APPROACH

During the procedure, excess cartilage is carefully removed, and ears
are strategically reshaped to lay more closely against the head. Both
ears are usually treated to ensure symmetrical results, even if only
one ear appears misshapen.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Post-surgical recovery involves wearing protective bandages and
potentially a supportive headband. Most patients can return to normal
activities within one week, avoiding strenuous activities during
initial healing. Full results become evident within approximately one
month.

SCARRING CONSIDERATIONS

Surgical incisions are strategically placed where the back of the ear
meets the head, ensuring minimal visible scarring that typically
diminishes significantly over time.

AGE CONSIDERATIONS FOR OTOPLASTY

Children's ears reach near-adult size by ages 5-6, making this an
appropriate time to consider ear reshaping surgery. The procedure can
address both developmental and aesthetic concerns while supporting
psychological well-being.

EAR RESHAPING (OTOPLASTY) PINOLE, CA | JEFFREY FRIEDMAN M.D.

UNDERSTANDING OTOPLASTY: EAR CORRECTION PROCEDURE

Otoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure designed to correct ear
deformities, particularly addressing prominent or protruding ears. The
primary goal of this surgical intervention is to reshape and
reposition the ears to achieve a more balanced and aesthetically
pleasing appearance.

SURGICAL APPROACH FOR EAR CORRECTION

During an otoplasty procedure, surgeons focus on repositioning and
reshaping ear cartilage to create a more natural contour. The
technique involves precise surgical modifications that reduce ear
prominence and create a more harmonious facial profile.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE HIGHLIGHTS

 	* Incisions strategically placed behind the ear
	* Cartilage reshaping to minimize ear protrusion
	* Minimal visible scarring techniques
	* Customized approach for individual ear anatomy

SCARRING CONSIDERATIONS IN OTOPLASTY

One of the most advanced aspects of modern otoplasty is the strategic
placement of surgical incisions. Scars are carefully hidden within the
natural creases behind the ear, ensuring minimal visible evidence of
the surgical procedure.

POTENTIAL CANDIDATES FOR EAR CORRECTION SURGERY

Otoplasty can benefit individuals experiencing ear deformities or
those seeking aesthetic improvements. The procedure is suitable for
both children and adults who wish to address prominent or asymmetrical
ears.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Patients can expect a comprehensive consultation to discuss individual
goals, potential outcomes, and personalized surgical strategies. The
recovery process involves careful monitoring and adherence to
post-operative instructions to ensure optimal healing.
