What Is Otoplasty?
Otoplasty, commonly known as ear surgery or ear pinning, is a cosmetic procedure that improves the shape, size, or position of the ears to create a more balanced and natural appearance. This treatment is often chosen by patients who feel their ears are overly prominent, asymmetrical, or disproportionate to their facial features. At Advanced Aesthetics Plastic Surgery Center, our skilled surgeons customize otoplasty to meet each patient’s unique goals, helping both children and adults achieve greater confidence in their appearance. Contact our offices in Fayetteville, Newnan, or Stockbridge, GA today to schedule a consultation and learn how otoplasty can enhance your facial harmony.
How Is Otoplasty Performed?
Otoplasty is typically performed as an outpatient procedure in about 1 – 2 hours under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the patient’s age and comfort level. During surgery, one of our plastic surgeons will make small incisions behind the ear to access the cartilage, allowing for reshaping, repositioning, or pinning the ears closer to the head. Excess skin or cartilage may be removed if needed to achieve the desired contour and balance. The incisions are then carefully closed with sutures, leaving scars discreetly hidden in the natural crease behind the ear. Most patients return home the same day and enjoy a noticeable improvement in ear appearance once healing is complete.
What Are the Benefits of Otoplasty?
Otoplasty offers both cosmetic and emotional benefits by creating ears that are more proportionate and balanced with the rest of the face. Benefits include:
- Reduces the appearance of overly prominent or protruding ears
- Improves facial symmetry and balance
- Corrects ear shape, size, or position for a natural look
- Leaves scars discreetly hidden behind the ears
- Provides long-lasting, permanent results
- Boosts self-confidence and comfort in social situations
- Suitable for both children and adults seeking improved ear appearance
