Ear Reshaping Surgery (Otoplasty) New York, NY | Dr Brad M Gandolfi, MD; Plastic Surgeon

Understanding Otoplasty: Ear Reshaping Surgery

Otoplasty, or ear reshaping surgery, is a specialized plastic surgery procedure designed to address prominent, asymmetric, or disproportionate ears. Dr. Brad Gandolfi, a double board-certified plastic surgeon, offers comprehensive ear surgery solutions for patients seeking facial harmony and improved ear aesthetics.

Common Reasons for Ear Reshaping Surgery

  • Ears that protrude excessively from the head
  • Asymmetric ear positioning
  • Ears disproportionate to head size
  • Unsatisfactory results from previous ear surgeries

Otoplasty Procedure Overview

During the ear surgery, Dr. Gandolfi carefully makes small incisions behind the ears. Through these discrete surgical sites, excess cartilage and skin are removed, and the remaining cartilage is strategically repositioned to create a more balanced, natural appearance.

Surgical Consultation and Preparation

The otoplasty journey begins with a comprehensive consultation. Dr. Gandolfi evaluates your unique facial anatomy, discusses aesthetic goals, and provides personalized recommendations. Patients may receive specific pre-surgical instructions, such as medication adjustments and lifestyle recommendations.

Recovery and Results

Most patients require approximately one week of recovery time. Post-surgical discomfort can be managed with prescribed pain medication. Following Dr. Gandolfi's detailed aftercare instructions helps ensure optimal healing and long-lasting results.

Potential Risks and Considerations

While surgical risks are minimal when performed by an experienced surgeon like Dr. Gandolfi, patients should understand potential complications. Bleeding is the most uncommon risk associated with otoplasty, and choosing a qualified plastic surgeon significantly minimizes surgical risks.

Surgical Outcomes

Otoplasty results are essentially permanent, providing patients with improved ear aesthetics and enhanced facial balance. Dr. Gandolfi is committed to delivering natural-looking, personalized outcomes that align with each patient's unique facial characteristics.

I met Dr. Gandolfi, Nicole Anderson and staff in December 2021. I came to the office because I lost weight and was suffering from back pain and wanted/needed a breast lift and reduction. I am a diabetic and that that point my A1C and iron levels were not where Dr. Gandolfi wanted them to be in order for me to have surgery. I went on to loose more weight and finally got my A1C and iron levels under control. I had breast a breast lift and reduction on 10-25-24. Dr. Gandolfi's office is amazing. The level of professionalism and care that I received from each person I met at the office was superb. I knew I was in excellent care day one when Dr. Gandolfi would not do the surgery until all of my blood levels were in check, he truly cares about his patients. The morning of the surgery he was amazing, he carefully marked everything in preparation for the surgery and his PA was comforting and reassuring. He and his team always made me feel comfortable and relaxed. They were always willing to answer any of my questions. It was a long road for me to get my breast reduction, but I am thrilled I stuck it out with Dr. Gandolfi and his staff. I am very happy with the surgery and the results. I highly recommend this him and his team.
