Ear Surgery (Otoplasty) in El Paso | Humberto Palladino, MD

Understanding Ear Surgery

Protruding, oversized, or disfigured ears can significantly impact self-confidence. Surgical ear correction, known as otoplasty, provides a solution for achieving a more aesthetically pleasing ear size and shape. This procedure addresses genetic abnormalities and is frequently performed on children to prevent social challenges.

Candidacy for Ear Surgery

Ideal candidates for otoplasty are individuals in good health with realistic expectations. For pediatric patients, children should be at least five years old and able to communicate effectively. During a comprehensive consultation, Dr. Palladino will:

• Discuss specific ear concerns
• Perform a detailed examination
• Develop a personalized correction plan
• Provide comprehensive pre-surgical instructions

Surgical Procedure Details

Otoplasty is an outpatient procedure performed under anesthesia. Patients will need a designated driver and companion during the surgery. The procedure involves precise surgical techniques to reshape or reposition the ears for optimal aesthetic results.

Recovery and Healing

Post-surgical recovery involves temporary swelling and tenderness, manageable with prescription medication. Patients should keep their head elevated and follow Dr. Palladino's specific post-operative instructions. Follow-up appointments will monitor healing progress and determine when normal activities can resume.

Procedure Pricing

Ear surgery costs typically range between $2,700 to $3,900, inclusive of surgeon's fees, anesthesia, and medical facility expenses. Pricing varies based on individual surgical requirements and selected technique.
