Ear Surgery Melville, NY | James N. Romanelli, MD, FACS

Understanding Ear Surgery in Long Island

The appearance of ears plays a critical role in overall facial aesthetics. Ears that are damaged, stretched, protruding, or misshapen can significantly impact self-esteem for both children and adults. Ear surgery, or otoplasty, offers a precise surgical solution to correct ear shape, size, and position.

Ear Surgery Candidacy

Ear surgery can be performed on patients of all ages, with particular benefits for children. Surgeons recommend addressing ear deformities before elementary school to prevent potential social challenges. By age six, ear surgery is considered safe and effective.

Ear Surgery Procedure Details

The procedure can be performed using general anesthesia or IV sedation with local anesthetic, tailored to patient preferences. Two primary surgical approaches include:

• Cartilage and ear shape correction
• Earlobe repair for stretched or damaged earlobes

Recovery and Expectations

Post-surgical recovery involves careful monitoring and specific healing protocols. Patients receive comprehensive instructions to ensure optimal healing and results. A follow-up appointment approximately one week after surgery allows surgeons to assess progress.
