OTOPLASTY (EAR SURGERY) NEWPORT BEACH, CA | DR. NIRAV SAVALIA |
NEWPORT BEACH CENTER FOR PLASTIC SURGERY

UNDERSTANDING EAR SURGERY IN NEWPORT BEACH

At Newport Beach Center for Plastic Surgery, ear surgery addresses
aesthetic concerns for two primary patient groups: children with
prominent ears experiencing social challenges and adults seeking to
correct long-standing ear-related insecurities.

WHY DO PATIENTS CONSIDER EAR SURGERY?

 	* Reduce self-consciousness about ear prominence
	* Address childhood teasing and social stigma
	* Achieve a more proportional facial appearance

PEDIATRIC EAR SURGERY CONSIDERATIONS

Otoplasty is particularly effective for children around ages five to
six, when ear cartilage remains pliable and before potential social
challenges intensify. Early intervention can prevent long-term
emotional impacts related to ear appearance.

ADULT EAR SURGERY OPPORTUNITIES

For adults, ear surgery remains a transformative procedure. Though
cartilage becomes stiffer with age, skilled plastic surgeons like Dr.
Savalia can still achieve remarkable aesthetic improvements that
enhance self-confidence.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Ear surgery recovery typically involves wearing a protective headband
for several weeks. Most patients return to normal activities within
several days to a week, experiencing minimal discomfort during the
healing process.

natural-looking results. The procedure may involve:

bruising. Patients can usually return to work or school within one
week, with specific guidelines for wearing protective headbands and
avoiding ear trauma.
