What Is Ear Surgery (Otoplasty)?

Ear surgery, or otoplasty, is a versatile cosmetic intervention that adjusts the ears’ appearance to create a more balanced and proportional look. It’s an effective solution for addressing overly large ears, protruding ears, asymmetry, or deformities due to birth defects or injuries. Typically recommended for patients as young as five, otoplasty can prevent the psychological distress associated with peer teasing by correcting the ears’ shape or size early in life. This procedure can be stand-alone or part of a broader aesthetic enhancement plan, including facial implants or skin treatments.

How Does Ear Surgery Work?

Performed by Dr. Kaweski, ear surgery is an outpatient procedure tailored to each patient’s specific needs. For children, general anesthesia is commonly used, while adults may undergo the procedure with local anesthesia. Incisions are strategically placed behind the ear or within its natural folds to minimize visibility. The surgery involves removing or reshaping excess cartilage and skin, then suturing the ear into its new position with possibly permanent internal stitches to maintain its placement. The entire process is carefully designed to ensure a natural, harmonious appearance.
