Regain Confidence in Your Appearance

Otoplasty (ear pinning surgery) corrects a variety of ear issues that can dramatically improve your confidence and looks, especially in children, such as:

  • Protruding Ears
  • Large Ears
  • Misshapen Ears
  • Damaged Earlobes

We also treat earlobes that have naturally enlarged and started sagging due to aging. Most treatments are performed through a thin incision in the fold behind the ear.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, “Otoplasty creates a more natural shape while bringing balance and proportion to the ears and face. Correction of even minor deformities can have profound benefits to appearance and self-esteem.”

What to Expect with Otoplasty Surgery

Otoplasty surgery is typically performed in the comfort of our office using local anesthesia and oral medications. Your ears are usually bandaged with a dressing that wraps around the head in a turban-like fashion for several days.

Understanding the Otoplasty Recovery Process

Initial mild postoperative discomfort is easily controlled with oral medication. Your ears, or your child’s ears, usually look “normal” within 10 to 20 days after your procedure. Usually, after the first dressing is removed, a thin stocking cap or headband is worn at night for three weeks to protect your ears. Contact sports should be avoided for about a month.

Am I a Good Candidate for Otoplasty?

Questioning whether otoplasty surgery is right for you or your child? In general, ideal otoplasty candidates are at least 5 years old without any medical conditions that may create risks during surgery and/or impair healing.

In addition, candidates for otoplasty surgery must have realistic expectations related to otoplasty surgery. To find out if you or your child is a good candidate for the otoplasty procedure, schedule your consultation with Dr. Rotatori today.
