Understanding Ear Surgery (Otoplasty)

Ears that appear to protrude, are misshapen, or look oversized can significantly impact self-confidence. Ear surgery, or otoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure designed to recontour the size and shape of the ears, creating a natural, balanced appearance. Plastic Surgery Vegas specializes in helping patients achieve aesthetic ear transformations that enhance their self-assurance.

Benefits of Ear Surgery

  • Reducing overly large ears
  • Reshaping and resizing ear structure
  • Repositioning ears to lay flatter
  • Correcting congenital ear abnormalities
  • Boosting patient self-confidence
  • Safe for children as young as six years old

Ideal Candidates for Otoplasty

Ear surgery is most commonly performed on children before elementary school, typically around ages five to six. Patients who feel embarrassed by protruding or oversized ears, or those with torn or damaged earlobes, may be excellent candidates for this procedure.

Surgical Procedure Details

Otoplasty is performed under general or IV sedation. The surgical team typically makes incisions around the back of the ear or within inner ear folds. Cartilage is carefully manipulated to achieve the desired shape and size, with both ears addressed to ensure symmetry. Incisions are then closed with sutures and protected during the initial healing phase.

Recovery and Expectations

Post-surgical recovery requires careful attention. Patients should avoid touching or laying on the ears and are advised to sleep in a propped-up position. Follow-up appointments are scheduled within 3-5 days to remove wrappings and assess initial results. Natural-looking ears are typically visible immediately, with continued improvement during the healing process.

Long-Term Results

Ear surgery typically provides long-lasting results due to the early maturation of ear cartilage. While the body and face change with age, ear modifications tend to remain stable. In rare cases of significant injury, a revision procedure may be considered.

Comprehensive Ear Transformation

Even small adjustments to ear shape and position can make a substantial difference in overall appearance and self-confidence. Plastic Surgery Vegas is committed to helping patients achieve their aesthetic goals through personalized ear surgery solutions.

Dr. Higgins and the entire staff are amazing. They have the best communication of and office I have ever delt with. Dr. Higgins himself is not only a perfectionist but an exceptional human being. If you are planning a procedure you owe it to yourself to see Dr. Higgins.

My experience with Dr. Higgins & his staff has been outstanding. He is a highly skilled surgeon and truly an artist. I am a week post op brow, face & neck lift and could not be happier with my results! I would like to add that I am a Nurse Practitioner and practice in the field of medical aesthetics. I highly recommend a consultation with Dr. Higgins if you are considering cosmetic surgery!

Absolutely Amazing Doctor!!! I’m so impressed with the level and care associated with the performance of the surgery. My son had a procedure done by Dr. Silver that literally changed his and our life. Before the procedure my son suffered A really bad case of gynecomastia which cased major social issues for him, leaving me feeling helpless. It wasn’t until After the Surgery Doctor Silver performed our life’s changed. it’s like I have a new son who is confident, strong and very much satisfied with his look. We love this doctor and would not go anywhere else to have any other doctor perform such life changing surgeries performed! Pricing was very reasonable as well. Talmadge D.
