You might choose to have otoplasty if you\u2019re bothered by how far your ears stick out from your head. You might also consider otoplasty if your ear or ears are misshapen due to an injury or birth defect. Otoplasty can be done at any age after the ears have reached their full size \u2014 usually after age 5 \u2014 through adulthood. In some cases, the surgery is done as early as age 3. If a child is born with prominent ears and certain other ear-shape problems, splinting may successfully correct these issues if started immediately after birth.<\/p><p><strong>WHY IT&#8217;S DONE<\/strong><\/p><p>You might consider otoplasty if:<\/p><p>Your ear or ears stick out too far from your head<br \/>Your ears are large in proportion to your head<br \/>You\u2019re dissatisfied with a previous ear surgery<br \/>Otoplasty is typically done on both ears to optimize symmetry.<br \/>Otoplasty can be done at any age after the ears have reached their full size \u2014 usually after age 5.<\/p><p>Otoplasty won\u2019t change the location of your ears or alter your ability to hear.<\/p><p><strong>RISKS<\/strong><\/p><p>Otoplasty poses various risks, including:<\/p><p>Scarring: While scars are permanent, they\u2019ll likely be hidden behind your ears or within the creases of your ears.<br \/>Asymmetry in ear placement: This could occur as a result of changes during the healing process. Also, surgery might not successfully correct pre-existing asymmetry.<br \/>Changes in skin sensation: During otoplasty, the repositioning of your ears can temporarily affect skin sensation in the area. Rarely, changes are permanent.<br \/>Problems with stitches: Stitches used to secure the ear\u2019s new shape might work their way to the surface of the skin and need to be removed. This can cause inflammation of the affected skin. As a result, you might need additional surgery.<br \/>Overcorrection: Otoplasty can create unnatural contours that make ears appear to be pinned back.<\/p><p><strong>HOW YOU PREPARE<\/strong><\/p><p>A consultation for otoplasty<br \/>Initially, you\u2019ll talk to a cosmetic surgeon about otoplasty. During your first visit, your cosmetic surgeon will likely:<\/p><p>Review your medical history. Be prepared to answer questions about current and past medical conditions, especially any ear infections. Talk about any medications you\u2019re taking or you\u2019ve taken recently, as well as any surgeries you\u2019ve had.<br \/>Do a physical exam. To determine your treatment options, the doctor will examine your ears \u2014 including their placement, size, shape and symmetry. The doctor might also take pictures of your ears for your medical record.<br \/>Discuss your expectations. Explain why you want otoplasty and what you\u2019re hoping for in terms of appearance after the procedure. Make sure you understand the risks, such as possible overcorrection.<\/p><p>If you\u2019re a good candidate for otoplasty, your doctor may recommend that you take some steps to prepare beforehand.<\/p><p><strong>WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT<\/strong><\/p><p>Otoplasty can be done in a hospital or an outpatient surgical facility.<\/p><p>Sometimes the procedure is done with sedation and local anesthesia, which numbs only part of your body. In other cases, general anesthesia \u2014 which renders you unconscious \u2014 may be given before your procedure.<\/p><p><strong>RESULTS<\/strong><\/p><p>After your bandages are removed, you\u2019ll notice an immediate change in the appearance of your ears. These changes are permanent.<\/p><p>If you\u2019re not satisfied with your results, check with your surgeon about the possibility of revision surgery.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Otoplasty \u2014 also known as cosmetic ear surgery \u2014 is a procedure to change the shape, position or size of the ears.
