UNDERSTANDING OTOPLASTY: EAR RESHAPING IN NASHUA, NH

Ear surgery, medically known as otoplasty, is a facial plastic surgery
procedure designed to adjust ear size, shape, and position to create
balanced facial proportions. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr.
George P. Chatson specializes in customized ear surgeries that enhance
facial harmony.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR EAR SURGERY

Ear surgery candidates typically include individuals with:

 	* Disproportionately large or protruding ears
	* Ear deformities from birth or injury
	* Self-consciousness about ear appearance

Patients can undergo the procedure as young as six years old, making
it an effective solution for childhood ear-related concerns.

SURGICAL BENEFITS AND TECHNIQUES

Dr. Chatson utilizes precise internal suturing techniques to reshape
ear cartilage, delivering natural-looking results that complement
facial features. The procedure can address multiple aesthetic
concerns, including:

 	* Ear size reduction
	* Correction of protruding ears
	* Reshaping ear tips
	* Improving overall ear symmetry

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Initial recovery from otoplasty is relatively quick, with most
patients experiencing minimal discomfort. Full healing typically
occurs within six weeks, during which patients must follow specific
post-surgical instructions to ensure optimal results.

SURGICAL CONSIDERATIONS

While ear surgery is generally safe, potential risks include minor
complications such as temporary swelling, scarring, and asymmetry. Dr.
Chatson's board-certified expertise minimizes these risks through
meticulous surgical planning and execution.

IMPORTANT SURGICAL DETAILS

 	* Procedure duration: Typically 1-2 hours
	* Anesthesia: Local or general, depending on patient needs
	* Recovery time: Most patients return to normal activities within 1-2
weeks

EAR RESHAPING (OTOPLASTY) IN BEDFORD | STERLING PLASTIC SURGERY

UNDERSTANDING EAR RESHAPING SURGERY

Otoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure designed to alter the
shape, size, and position of the external ear. This procedure helps
individuals feeling self-conscious about their ear appearance achieve
enhanced facial proportions and increased confidence.

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM OTOPLASTY?

Patients considering otoplasty might experience concerns such as:

 	* Ears that appear disproportionately large
	* Ears protruding significantly from the head
	* Ear damage or trauma from injuries
	* Congenital ear shape abnormalities

AGE CONSIDERATIONS FOR EAR SURGERY

Otoplasty can be performed once ears have reached their full size,
typically after age five. Some procedures are even conducted on
children as young as three to address specific birth-related ear
conditions.

OTOPLASTY PROCEDURE DETAILS

The surgical approach for otoplasty is highly personalized and
typically involves an outpatient procedure. Depending on individual
needs, patients receive either sedation with local anesthesia or
general anesthesia.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE

During the procedure, which generally takes approximately two hours,
the surgeon will:

 	* Make precise incisions within inner ear creases or behind the ears
	* Remove excess skin and cartilage
	* Fold and secure cartilage with specialized stitches
	* Apply protective bandages to support healing

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Following the procedure, patients will have bandages around their ears
for several days. During the follow-up appointment, the surgeon will
evaluate healing progress and provide guidance on resuming normal
activities.
