Surgical Approach to Ear Reshaping

During otoplasty, Folsom Plastic Surgery's expert surgeons make precise incisions behind the ear, sculpting and repositioning cartilage to achieve the desired aesthetic outcome. The procedure can be performed using local or general anesthesia, depending on patient preference and age.

Recovery and Results

Most patients can return to work or school within five to seven days. Patients should avoid strenuous activities for one to two months. Scarring is minimal and strategically placed to ensure inconspicuous healing.

Candidacy for Otoplasty

Ideal candidates for ear surgery include individuals who:

• Are unhappy with their ear size or shape

Patients may choose to combine otoplasty with other facial rejuvenation procedures such as facelifts, brow lifts, or eyelid surgery to achieve comprehensive aesthetic enhancement.
