Ear Reshaping Surgery (Otoplasty) Newport Beach, CA | Sunny Park Facial Plastic Surgery

Understanding Ear Reshaping Surgery

Otoplasty, commonly known as "ear pinning," is a cosmetic procedure designed to improve the appearance of protruding ears. Dr. Park specializes in creating balanced, natural-looking results that enhance facial harmony and boost patient confidence.

Candidates for Otoplasty

Otoplasty is an excellent option for individuals ranging from children (age 5 or older) to adults who feel self-conscious about ear prominence. The procedure addresses two primary ear characteristics that contribute to protrusion:

• Lack of a natural fold (antihelix)
• Overgrowth of the ear's bowl area (conchal cartilage)

Surgical Techniques in Newport Beach

Dr. Park develops a personalized treatment plan tailored to each patient's unique ear structure. The surgical approach typically involves:

• Creating a defined fold to bring ears closer to the head
• Removing excess cartilage to reduce ear prominence

Recovery and Expectations

Otoplasty recovery is relatively straightforward and includes the following considerations:

• Anesthesia options: General for children, local for some adults
• Protective headband worn for 2 weeks during initial healing
• Suture removal typically occurs 2 weeks post-surgery
