Ear Pinning Surgery (Otoplasty) in Bryn Mawr, OR

Understanding Otoplasty: Enhancing Ear Aesthetics

Otoplasty, commonly known as ear pinning surgery, is a transformative procedure designed to correct the shape, size, or projection of ears. The ears play a crucial role in facial proportion and balance, and when they appear unusual or disproportionate, they can significantly impact an individual's self-confidence.

Benefits of Ear Pinning Surgery

  • Improve facial harmony and proportion
  • Reduce ear protrusion
  • Enhance self-confidence and appearance
  • Correct congenital ear malformations

Ideal Candidates for Otoplasty

The ideal otoplasty candidate is an individual who:

  • Is unhappy with current ear appearance
  • Has realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
  • Is in good overall health
  • Is at least five years old (when ears are 85-90% developed)

The Otoplasty Procedure

During the procedure, Dr. Lohner will make a small incision behind the ear or along its natural crease. Through this incision, he will reshape the cartilage and reposition the ear to achieve the desired aesthetic result. The entire process typically takes two to three hours and is performed under local or general anesthesia.

Recovery and Aftercare

Otoplasty recovery generally takes one to two weeks. Patients can expect some initial bruising and swelling, which will gradually subside. Most individuals can return to work or school within seven to ten days.

Post-Surgical Restrictions

  • Avoid strenuous exercise for four weeks
  • Refrain from heavy lifting for three weeks
  • Avoid contact sports for six weeks
  • Wear a protective headband during initial healing

Cost Considerations

The cost of otoplasty varies depending on the specific correction required. During the initial consultation, Dr. Lohner will provide a comprehensive overview of the procedure and associated costs.
