How Otoplasty is Performed
The surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure. It is usually done using regional or local anesthesia. Most incisions are made in the area behind the ear. This means that you will have minimal visible scarring once the surgery has been completed and you have healed.
There are many techniques that are used depending on your specific goals. For example, if you are dealing with ears that protrude, or stick out far, it may be possible to permanently pin them closer to the head. Or it may be necessary to manipulate the inner tissues and cartilage of the ear in order to create a more cosmetically-appealing look. These are just some examples of how otoplasty can be used to fix misshapen or unattractive ears. Once the surgery is done, a pressure dressing will be applied in order to help the ears heal.
Cosmetic ear surgery can help you feel great about the way you look on the outside and give you more self-confidence. Schedule an otoplasty consultation today at Town and Country Plastic Surgeons by contacting any of our offices in Houston and Lake Jackson. We are excited to meet you!
