Ear Surgery Las Vegas, NV | Goesel Anson, MD, FACS

Understanding Ear Surgery (Otoplasty)

Ears that appear to protrude, are misshapen, or look oversized can significantly impact self-confidence. Ear surgery, or otoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure designed to recontour the size and shape of the ears, creating a more balanced and natural appearance. Plastic Surgery Vegas offers specialized ear surgery techniques that help patients achieve aesthetic harmony and renewed self-assurance.

Benefits of Ear Surgery

• Reducing overly large ears
• Reshaping and resizing ear structure
• Repositioning ears to lay flatter
• Correcting congenital ear abnormalities
• Boosting patient self-confidence
• Safe for children as young as six years old

Who is an Ideal Candidate?

Ear surgery can be performed on patients of all ages, though it is most commonly recommended for children before elementary school. Ideal candidates include individuals who feel self-conscious about protruding, large, or asymmetrical ears. The procedure is particularly beneficial for children around six years old, when ear cartilage remains malleable.

Surgical Procedure Details

Otoplasty is performed under general or IV sedation. Surgeons typically make incisions around the back of the ear or within inner ear folds. During the procedure, cartilage is carefully manipulated to achieve the desired size and shape. Both ears are usually addressed to ensure symmetry and natural-looking results.

Recovery and Expectations

Post-surgical recovery involves specific care instructions. Patients should avoid touching or laying directly on their ears and are advised to sleep in a propped-up position. Follow-up appointments are scheduled within 3-5 days to assess healing and remove surgical wrappings.

Frequently Addressed Concerns

Ear surgery results are typically long-lasting, with minimal changes as patients age. The procedure can address various concerns, from oversized ears to stretched or damaged earlobes. Plastic Surgery Vegas offers personalized consultations to develop tailored surgical plans.
