EAR RESHAPING SURGERY (OTOPLASTY) LOS ANGELES, CA | KIAN KARIMI MD,
FACS

UNDERSTANDING OTOPLASTY: EAR CORRECTION SURGERY

Otoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure designed to reposition
and reshape ears for children and adults with large or protruding
ears. The technique creates a natural fold along the back of the ear,
allowing them to lie flush with the head and appear more balanced.

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM OTOPLASTY?

Ideal candidates include individuals experiencing:

 	* Protruding ears that extend significantly from the head
	* Asymmetrical or misshapen ear structures
	* Emotional self-consciousness related to ear appearance

BENEFITS OF EAR SURGERY

 	* Increases personal self-confidence
	* Minimizes potential social teasing
	* Creates balanced, natural-looking ear proportions

OTOPLASTY PROCEDURE DETAILS

Typically performed as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia
with sedation, otoplasty involves reshaping ear cartilage and
repositioning ears to achieve a more harmonious facial appearance. The
entire process takes approximately two to three hours.

SURGICAL APPROACH

During the procedure, excess cartilage is carefully removed, and ears
are strategically reshaped to lay more closely against the head. Both
ears are usually treated to ensure symmetrical results, even if only
one ear appears misshapen.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Post-surgical recovery involves wearing protective bandages and
potentially a supportive headband. Most patients can return to normal
activities within one week, avoiding strenuous activities during
initial healing. Full results become evident within approximately one
month.

SCARRING CONSIDERATIONS

Surgical incisions are strategically placed where the back of the ear
meets the head, ensuring minimal visible scarring that typically
diminishes significantly over time.

AGE CONSIDERATIONS FOR OTOPLASTY

Children's ears reach near-adult size by ages 5-6, making this an
appropriate time to consider ear reshaping surgery. The procedure can
address both developmental and aesthetic concerns while supporting
psychological well-being.
