EAR PINNING (OTOPLASTY) NASHVILLE, TN | ROBBINS PLASTIC SURGERY

WHAT IS EAR SURGERY (OTOPLASTY)?

Ear surgery or otoplasty is a straightforward procedure designed to
correct the appearance of the ears. This surgical technique can
minimize ear size or reposition ears, commonly referred to as "pinning
back" the ears. While more frequently performed on children, otoplasty
remains suitable for patients of all ages seeking to improve their ear
aesthetics.

BENEFITS OF EAR SURGERY

Otoplasty offers significant psychological and aesthetic advantages:

 	* Creates a well-balanced appearance complementing facial features
	* Eliminates potential teasing about ear size or shape
	* Enhances self-confidence and body image
	* Improves overall quality of life by reducing appearance-related
concerns

EAR PINNING FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS

PEDIATRIC OTOPLASTY

Otoplasty is typically performed on children after age 5, when ear
development is complete. The procedure can help prevent lifelong
self-doubt and potential social challenges resulting from unusually
shaped ears. Dr. Robbins can address structural ear defects from birth
or injury.

ADULT EAR SURGERY

For adult patients in Nashville, otoplasty addresses long-standing
aesthetic concerns. Dr. Robbins may reshape or reduce ear size to
create symmetry and streamline facial contours, ultimately improving
patient self-perception.

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

Dr. Robbins customizes otoplasty techniques to meet each patient's
unique aesthetic goals. Incisions are strategically concealed on the
ear's back or within front ear folds. Through these precise incisions,
internal permanent sutures sculpt and reposition ear cartilage.

CANDIDATE QUALIFICATIONS

Dr. Robbins recommends ear surgery for men, women, and children who
feel self-conscious about their ear appearance. Ideal candidates are
individuals experiencing social discomfort or seeking aesthetic ear
refinement.

PROCEDURE COSTS

Ear surgery costs vary based on procedure complexity and treatment
requirements. Most insurance plans do not cover cosmetic procedures.
Financing options are available through CareCredit® and Prosper
Healthcare Lending.

EAR SURGERY (OTOPLASTY) NASHVILLE, TN | JACOB G. UNGER, MD

UNDERSTANDING OTOPLASTY: EAR RESHAPING SURGERY

Being noticed for your looks can be a positive experience, but when
prominent or unevenly positioned ears draw unwanted attention, they
can negatively impact self-confidence. Nashville otoplasty, or ear
surgery, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that can
effectively adjust ear positioning, restoring a more natural
appearance and enhancing personal confidence.

WHAT OTOPLASTY CAN ACCOMPLISH

 	* Correct over-prominent ears
	* Restore balance between unevenly positioned ears
	* Create better facial feature harmony

OTOPLASTY PROCEDURE DETAILS

As a plastic surgeon committed to advanced surgical techniques, Dr.
Unger approaches otoplasty with precision and an aesthetic
sensibility. The procedure typically involves a small incision behind
the ear, through which the cartilage is gently repositioned to achieve
a more natural angle.

AGE CONSIDERATIONS FOR OTOPLASTY

PEDIATRIC OTOPLASTY

Dr. Unger carefully evaluates younger patients, considering both
physical ear shape and parental goals. The procedure is typically
recommended for children aged 4 and older, when ear tissues remain
soft and more responsive to repositioning.

ADULT OTOPLASTY

Many adults seek otoplasty to address long-standing self-consciousness
about ear appearance. Dr. Unger provides personalized treatment plans
that address individual physiological needs and aesthetic
expectations.

SURGICAL APPROACH AND RECOVERY

Otoplasty is an outpatient procedure performed in state-of-the-art
facilities. The surgery generally takes less than an hour, with
patients wearing protective bandages for the first week or two. Full
healing typically occurs within approximately 2 weeks, though
individual recovery times may vary.
