Ear Reshaping (Otoplasty)
Cosmetic ear surgery, also known as otoplasty, is a surgical procedure that aims to reshape the appearance of the ears.
Children with congenital ear deformities may undergo this procedure to avoid teasing or self-consciousness, while adults may seek otoplasty to improve the appearance of their ears. Dr. Barnsley performs ear reshaping surgery on both children and adults.
What can ear surgery correct?
The typical ear surgery involves correcting ears that stick out in order to reduce their projection, also known as “ear pinning”. However, this procedure can be used to address various other concerns, including:
- Asymmetrical/uneven ears,
- Misshapen cartilage or earlobe,
- Large or deformed earlobes.
The results of otoplasty are usually visible immediately after the procedure, although it may take several weeks for swelling and bruising to fully subside. The final results of the surgery will become apparent as the ears fully heal and take their new shape.
