WHAT IS EAR SURGERY (OTOPLASTY)?

embarrassment, potentially affecting self-confidence, especially among
children, teenagers, and young adults. Otoplasty offers a

their ear appearance.

WHAT IS EAR SURGERY?

procedure designed to enhance the visual appearance of the ear by
adjusting its position, proportion, or shape. This procedure can
address various ear irregularities, whether caused by accidents,
injuries, or congenital conditions.

ear tissues and cartilage are soft and more adaptable. Early
intervention can prevent potential psychological impacts like bullying
and enhance long-term aesthetic outcomes.

COST AND RECOVERY

The average cost of ear surgery is approximately $5,800. As a cosmetic
procedure, it is not typically covered by insurance. Recovery involves
wearing a protective garment and avoiding direct ear manipulation

DR. THEUNISSEN'S SURGICAL APPROACH

SURGICAL TECHNIQUES

The surgical technique depends on the patient's current ear condition.
For protruding ears, reformation and splint support may be used.
Incisions are made behind the ears to trim soft tissues, tighten skin,
and reposition the ears. For small or hidden ears due to
underdeveloped cartilage, reshaping, repositioning, and tissue
grafting may be performed.

EAR PINNING AND REDUCTION

	* EAR PINNING: Cartilage is repositioned or removed to pin the ear
back. Incisions are made behind the ear, and sutures hold the ear
close to the head.
	* SIZE REDUCTION: Incisions are made behind the ear to remove
cartilage and reduce the ear's size by decreasing the chonchal
cartilage's surface area.

DURING AND AFTER SURGERY

Ear surgery typically takes 1-2 hours. The area is bandaged
post-surgery to manage swelling and soreness. Patients are discharged
for home recovery, with bandages remaining for 72 hours. A protective
garment is worn afterward. Incisions are made behind the ears,
concealing scars. Most patients can resume normal activities within
3-4 weeks.

PROCEDURE DETAILS

	* AVERAGE COST: $5,800
	* RECOVERY TIME: 3-4 weeks
	* PROCEDURE TIME: 1-3 hours
	* LOCATION: Outpatient, private O.R.
	* INSURANCE: Not covered (cosmetic procedure)
