EAR RESHAPING SURGERY (OTOPLASTY) HUNTERSVILLE, NY | ERIK J. MILES, MD

UNDERSTANDING OTOPLASTY: CORRECTING PROMINENT EARS

Otoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to address overly prominent
ears that can cause lifelong embarrassment. This specialized technique
surgically corrects ear deformities, creating a more balanced and
aesthetically pleasing ear appearance.

COMMON EAR IRREGULARITIES TREATED

Two primary ear irregularities are typically addressed during
otoplasty:

 	* Conchal Bowl Deformity: When ear cartilage fails to fully form,
causing ears to protrude
	* Antihelical Fold Absence: Resulting in ears that lack natural
contours and appear "elfin"

SURGICAL APPROACH

The otoplasty procedure involves strategically placed incisions behind
the ear to minimize visible scarring. Surgical techniques may include:

 	* Reducing excess cartilage
	* Reshaping ear contours
	* Repositioning ears closer to the head

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR EAR RESHAPING

Otoplasty is suitable for both children and adults who desire improved
ear symmetry and proportion. Early intervention during infancy can be
particularly effective due to the soft, pliable cartilage.

AGE CONSIDERATIONS

While ear cartilage can sometimes be remolded in early infancy,
surgical intervention remains a reliable solution for patients of
various ages seeking ear correction.

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

During otoplasty, patients can expect:

 	* Minimal invasive techniques
	* Strategic incision placement
	* Potential use of stabilizing stitches
	* Temporary protective headband post-surgery
