Ear Pinning Surgery (Otoplasty) Los Angeles, CA

Understanding Otoplasty: Ear Reshaping Procedure

Otoplasty, commonly known as ear surgery, is a specialized procedure designed to reposition, reshape, or reduce prominent ears. This surgical technique addresses ears that protrude too far from the head, which can cause significant psychological distress.

Ideal Candidates for Ear Surgery

• Children aged 4-14 with prominent ear concerns
• Adults seeking ear reshaping
• Individuals with congenital or hereditary ear structure issues

Surgical Approach and Techniques

Dr. Peter B Fodor employs precise surgical techniques to achieve natural-looking ear positioning. The procedure involves careful analysis of facial structure and ear anatomy to create balanced, aesthetically pleasing results.

Comprehensive Ear Reshaping Techniques

• Concha reduction and reshaping
• Cartilage modification
• Potential earlobe reconstruction

Procedure Details

Otoplasty typically takes two to three hours and can be performed using various anesthesia methods. Dr. Fodor specializes in TIVA (Total Intravenous Anesthesia), which minimizes bleeding and post-operative complications.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect minimal downtime, with most individuals resuming normal activities within one week. Contact sports should be avoided for approximately one month to ensure proper healing.

Scarring Considerations

Surgical incisions are strategically placed behind the ears, ensuring that scars fade naturally over time and remain virtually undetectable.
