Understanding Otoplasty: Ear Reshaping Surgery
Otoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure designed to reshape, resize, or reposition prominent ears closer to the head. At Southeastern Plastic Surgery, board-certified plastic surgeons provide expert ear surgery for patients in Tallahassee and surrounding regions including Destin, FL; Dothan, AL; and Valdosta, GA.
Procedure Overview
During ear surgery, physicians can address multiple aesthetic concerns, including:
- Setting protruding ears closer to the head
- Reducing the size of large ears
- Reshaping ear cartilage for improved symmetry
- Correcting congenital ear shape irregularities
Surgical Technique
Otoplasty typically involves two primary correction components to achieve optimal results. The surgical incisions are strategically concealed behind the ear, minimizing visible scarring.
Recovery Process
Following ear surgery, patients can expect minimal discomfort. Most individuals experience mild throbbing or aching that can be managed with prescribed medication. Specific post-operative instructions include:
- Wearing an elastic headband for two weeks after surgery
- Suture removal approximately one week post-procedure
- Gradual return to normal activities under physician guidance
Candidacy for Ear Surgery
