EAR RESHAPING (OTOPLASTY) METAIRIE, LA | DR. JULES WALTERS - BOARD
CERTIFIED PLASTIC SURGEON

ABOUT COSMETIC EAR SURGERY

Ears that appear to protrude outward, are asymmetrical or misshapen,
or look unnaturally big can negatively impact self-esteem, especially
at a young age. Otoplasty (ear reshaping) is a cosmetic procedure that
helps recontour the ears' size, position, and shape to produce a
normal appearance.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR OTOPLASTY

Ear reshaping surgery can be performed at any age, though it is most
common among children and recommended before elementary school. By six
years of age, this surgery is safe and effective. Ideal candidates
include:

 	* Individuals feeling embarrassed by ear shape or size
	* Children with protruding or misshapen ears
	* Patients with torn, stretched, or damaged earlobes

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE

The otoplasty procedure is performed using anesthesia, which can be
general, IV sedation, or local anesthesia. Typically, the incision is
placed around the back portion of the ear or within inner folds.
During surgery, cartilage is manipulated to create a natural-looking
appearance.

KEY SURGICAL CONSIDERATIONS

 	* Both ears are usually addressed to ensure symmetry
	* Incisions are carefully stitched and protected
	* Procedure aims to create a balanced, natural ear contour

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

After the procedure, patients will heal at home with specific
post-operative instructions. Dr. Walters recommends a follow-up
appointment within 3 to 5 days to remove coverings and assess surgical
results. Patients can expect immediate visible improvements that
continue to refine during the healing process.

PROCEDURE BENEFITS

 	* Enhanced self-confidence
	* Improved ear symmetry
	* Natural-looking ear contour
