EAR RESHAPING SURGERY RICHMOND, VA | DR. MICHAEL S. GODIN, MD

UNDERSTANDING OTOPLASTY: RESTORING FACIAL HARMONY

Ear shape and size can significantly impact facial appearance and
personal confidence. Otoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure
designed to address aesthetic concerns related to ear proportions and
positioning.

EMOTIONAL IMPACT OF EAR APPEARANCE

Years of thoughtless comments and social scrutiny can create deep
emotional challenges for individuals self-conscious about their ear
shape. Otoplasty offers a transformative solution to restore balance
and enhance natural facial features.

CANDIDATES FOR EAR RESHAPING SURGERY

Otoplasty is suitable for patients experiencing various ear-related
concerns, including:

 	* Overly large ears disproportionate to head shape
	* Protruding ears (ear angle greater than 35 degrees)
	* Excess cartilage around the outer ear
	* Cupped or shelled ear configurations
	* Ears resulting from injury or medical treatments

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

Dr. Michael Godin performs otoplasty with meticulous attention to
individual patient needs. The procedure typically requires one hour
per ear and can be conducted under local anesthesia or sedation,
depending on patient age and specific requirements.

RECOVERY AND HEALING

Post-surgical healing involves wearing a light dressing and headband
to maintain proper ear shape and positioning. Most patients experience
minimal discomfort and can expect gradual, natural-looking results.

AGE CONSIDERATIONS

While otoplasty can be performed at any age, Dr. Godin recommends
early intervention for children, typically between ages four to six,
to mitigate potential social challenges and optimize surgical
outcomes.

EXPERTISE IN FACIAL PLASTIC SURGERY

As a double Board-certified Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon,
Dr. Michael Godin combines surgical precision with artistic vision to
deliver naturally beautiful ear reshaping results.
