Enhance Your Ear Shape and Position
Otoplasty, also known as ear surgery, is a procedure designed to reshape or reposition ears that are overly prominent, misshapen, or asymmetrical. Many individuals seek otoplasty to correct ears that protrude significantly from the head, a condition known as "bat ears," or to address congenital deformities.
What to Expect at Your Otoplasty
During the procedure, Dr. Daniels will make small incisions behind the ear to access the cartilage. The cartilage is then sculpted, reshaped, and repositioned to create a more natural, balanced look. The surgery typically takes 1-2 hours and is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the patient’s preference.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Otoplasty?
Ideal candidates for otoplasty are individuals who:
- Have ears that protrude or are asymmetrical
- Are bothered by the appearance of their ears
- Are in good health and have realistic expectations about the results
- Are children (typically ages 5-6 or older) or adults seeking ear correction
If you feel self-conscious about the appearance of your ears, otoplasty can help improve ear shape and position for a more harmonious, balanced appearance.
