OTOPLASTY (EAR SURGERY)
Beverly Hills & Los Angeles
Ear surgery for children or adults can set prominent ears back closer to the head and reduce the size of large ears. Surgery may also be helpful for “lop ear,” “cupped ear” and “shell ear,” large or stretched earlobes, and lobes with creases and wrinkles. The otoplasty procedure lasts from two to three hours and may be performed in a hospital or an outpatient surgery center under general anesthesia. The results are immediate and are critical to many people’s self-esteem.

How Ear Pinning Works
Though not as prevalent as other forms of plastic surgery, such as rhinoplasty, otoplasty is still a very common procedure. Otoplasty refers to surgery performed on the ear for a number of reasons. It can be performed to augment an underdeveloped or small ear, to reshape a malformed ear, or more commonly to decrease the protrusion or size of an ear. Cartilage, unlike fat tissue, is not as easily sculpted and thus requires very precise removal and replacement by a plastic surgeon with ample experience.
