Otoplasty
The Otoplasty procedure is suitable for individuals who have concerns regarding the appearance of their ears. It is commonly performed on children who experience teasing or bullying due to prominent or misshapen ears. Adults who are unhappy with the shape, size, or position of their ears can also benefit from this procedure. It is important to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon to assess your individual situation and determine if you or your child are suitable candidates for an Otoplasty procedure.
Features & Benefits
Improved Ear Proportion and Position
Otoplasty can correct ears that are protruding, asymmetrical, or misshapen. By reshaping and repositioning the ears closer to the head, the procedure can enhance the overall proportion and balance of the face.
Natural and Lasting Results
Skilled plastic surgeons focus on creating natural-looking results that enhance the ears’ appearance without looking overdone. Otoplasty offers lasting results, and once the ears are reshaped, the changes are typically permanent.
Boosted Self-Esteem
Individuals who have been self-conscious about the appearance of their ears, especially if they’ve been teased or felt embarrassed, often experience a significant boost in self-esteem and confidence after otoplasty. The procedure allows them to feel more comfortable in social situations.
Customized to Individual Needs
Otoplasty is a versatile procedure that can be customized to address various ear concerns. It can involve reshaping the cartilage, reducing ear size, or correcting asymmetry. Surgeons work with patients to tailor the procedure to their unique needs and goals.
