Otoplasty (Ear Surgery) Sarasota, FL | Sarasota Plastic Surgery Center

Understanding Ear Surgery in Sarasota

Excessively large or protruding ears can cause significant personal discomfort and self-consciousness. Aesthetic ear surgery, known as otoplasty, offers patients a solution to reshape ear size, position, and configuration. Sarasota Plastic Surgery provides comprehensive ear surgery services for both children and adults.

Who Can Benefit from Ear Surgery?

Children experiencing teasing or self-esteem issues
Adults with asymmetrical or prominent ears
Patients requiring earlobe repair
Individuals seeking subtle, long-lasting aesthetic improvements

Ear Surgery Procedure Details

Our plastic surgeons perform otoplasty using advanced techniques tailored to individual patient needs. The procedure typically involves:

Reforming ear cartilage
Repositioning ears
Trimming soft tissues
Using strategic incisions behind the ear

Surgical Approach

Otoplasties are conducted under general anesthesia at the Sarasota surgical center. The procedure generally takes 1-2 hours, with patients returning home the same day for recovery. Specialized bandaging helps maintain the new ear position and protect the surgical site.

Key Considerations for Ear Surgery

Age Recommendations

The ideal age for ear surgery is typically 7-8 years old. At this stage, ear cartilage remains soft and malleable, allowing for easier reshaping while avoiding potential school-age teasing.

Long-Term Results

Ear surgery results are generally permanent. The ears are reshaped during a critical developmental period, ensuring minimal changes as the patient ages. Most patients experience lasting aesthetic improvements without requiring additional procedures.

Earlobe Reduction Specialty

Sarasota Plastic Surgery also offers earlobe reduction procedures to address elongated or stretched earlobes. This specialized treatment helps patients restore a more proportional and youthful ear appearance.

Procedure Highlights

Trims long, hanging earlobes
Performed for aesthetic purposes
Minimally invasive technique
Sutures removed within one week

As a woman who had matured early and had been “blessed” with a big chest from a young age, getting a breast reduction had been on my radar since the age of 18. There is a lot of emotional and mental stress that develops over time when you’ve dealt with the attention that a big chest can draw as well as the inconvenience they can bring in limiting clothing and other aspects of life. So, finding a plastic surgeon who not only could perform a breast reduction, but who could also show empathy and kindness in acknowledging the baggage that comes with the desire to have one, was a must. I found that in Dr. Derby. He let me cry as I off loaded the “why” behind me sitting in his consult room and, from that moment on, cradled my feelings and ensured I would get what I was seeking physically. From that point on, every appointment was like going to meet a friend and that extended to the entire staff from the front of house to the surgical team and day to day nursing staff at Sarasota Plastic Surgery Center. I could not be happier with the results of my surgery and have a refreshed perspective on my own self-esteem, wholly because of Dr. Derby and his team. There aren’t enough stars I can give him for what he’s done for me.

I had an outstanding experience at Sarasota Plastic Surgery Center. From the moment I walked in, the staff was warm, welcoming, and incredibly professional. The office is not only spotless and well-organized but also creates a comfortable and reassuring atmosphere. Dr. Baratta is truly exceptional – kind, knowledgeable, and deeply attentive. He took the time to listen to my concerns, thoroughly explained my options, and even addressed the questions I didn’t know to ask. His ability to set clear, realistic expectations while demonstrating such genuine care made all the difference. Thanks to his expertise and compassionate approach, I felt completely confident in my decision, and the results of my surgery exceeded all my expectations. I can't say enough about the incredible experience I had. A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Baratta and the entire Sarasota Plastic Surgery Center team for their outstanding care and dedication!

I couldn’t be more impressed with the experience I had at Sarasota Plastic Surgery. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel comfortable and welcomed. The clinic itself is clean, modern, and equipped with the latest technology, which immediately gave me confidence in their ability to provide quality care. Dr. Engel and their team were incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to walk me through every step of the process. They answered all my questions, addressed my concerns, and helped me set realistic expectations for the outcome of my procedure. It was clear that patient safety and satisfaction are their top priorities. The procedure itself went smoothly, and I was kept informed throughout. Post-op care was thorough, with the clinic providing clear instructions and support for my recovery. I felt at ease knowing I could reach out to the team with any questions, and they were quick to respond with helpful advice. The results have exceeded my expectations, and I’m extremely pleased with how everything turned out. I highly recommend Sarasota Plastic Surgery. The level of expertise, professionalism, and care they provide is unmatched, and I would not hesitate to return for future treatments.
