Say Goodbye To Your Ear Complexes
Otoplasty or ear surgery is a procedure designed to reshape, resize, and/or reposition your ears for a more harmonious and aesthetically pleasing look.
Whether you’re an adult or a child over the age of 6, if you’re self-conscious about your ears, this procedure can help you regain confidence and eliminate your complexes. While this procedure is often performed on adults using local anesthesia and sedation; children have the choice to go under general anesthesia for comfort.
There are several types of otoplasty:
Protruding Ear Correction
Are your ears noticeably protruding? This is often caused by an underdeveloped antihelical fold, leading to an angle greater than 2 cm from the side of your head.
Our corrective procedure involves making a discreet incision behind the ear to expose the cartilage. We then sculpt the cartilage and bend it backward to minimize protrusion. Internal stitches help maintain the new shape, and in some cases, we may remove a portion of the cartilage for a more natural appearance. The resulting scar is well-hidden behind the ear, allowing you to enjoy your new look without the worry of visibility.
After surgery, most patients can return to their normal activities, although we recommend wearing sports tape for 15-20 days to support optimal healing.
Reduction Otoplasty
If you feel your ears are too large, reduction otoplasty may be the solution. Ears are generally considered proportionate when they measure between 6 and 7 cm in length. The image below demonstrates proportions and angles in the anatomy of the ear that are considered aesthetic.
Our skilled, recommended surgeons will reduce the size of your ears by excising excess cartilage, reshaping them for a more balanced look. We may also reposition the ears at an optimal angle or reduce the size of the lobe for aesthetic harmony. The thin skin of the ears helps keep scars discreet and nearly imperceptible.
Recovery is typically fast with minimal discomfort. Stitches are removed after about ten days. During recovery it is recommended to wear a supportive band at night.
Lobuloplasty
Is your earlobe sagging or torn? Lobuloplasty repairs and restores earlobes that have been damaged from heavy earrings, accidents, or other causes. Depending on the extent of the damage, we may perform a simple closure or use a more advanced technique involving triangular skin flaps to promote healing. The simple closure technique entails carefully aligning and suturing the skin, targeting the walls of the opening to effectively close both the front and back portions of the earlobe for optimal results. In some cases, a reconstruction technique using two triangular skin flaps on either side of the tear or hole may be selected. These flaps are carefully rotated and repositioned, bringing healthy tissue from the outer edge of the earlobe to the damaged area, effectively restoring the earlobe's natural appearance.
This quick procedure is performed under local anesthesia and lasts less than an hour, allowing you to return home shortly after. You’ll receive dressings to protect your wounds, and sutures are usually removed within 10-14 days. Once healed, you can safely wear earrings again, provided they don’t coincide with previous scars.
Ear Reconstructions
For those facing congenital (from birth) or acquired (occur during the patient’s lifetime) deformities, ear reconstruction is a specialized procedure aimed at restoring the ear’s structure.
Congenital issues, like microtia, can result in an underdeveloped ear, while acquired deformities may arise from trauma (amputations or burns) or skin cancer removal.
Reconstructing the ear typically requires a minimum of two surgeries to recreate both the cartilage and skin.
We often use your own tissues—cartilage from the other ear or rib, and skin from nearby areas.
In certain cases, ear reconstruction is achieved using custom-made prosthetic devices, crafted from high-quality silicone. These prosthetics can be secured in place with either medical adhesive or osseointegrated implants, which involve small screws integrated into the bone for a stable fit. Patients will need to remove the prosthesis each night and clean it daily to maintain hygiene and ensure optimal results.
For mixed reconstructions, we may incorporate synthetic materials (Medpor) for a durable and natural-looking result.
