What Is Otoplasty?

Otoplasty, or ear surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to reshape or reposition the ears for improved proportion and balance. This surgery may address:

  • Prominent ears that stick out from the head
  • Large, elongated, or torn earlobes
  • Misshapen ears due to injury or genetics

Our surgeons make discreet incisions behind the ears or within natural folds, allowing for cartilage reshaping and skin adjustment. The result is a natural, balanced appearance that complements the rest of your facial features.

Benefits of Otoplasty

Choosing otoplasty in Scottsdale offers several advantages:

  • Corrects prominent or misshapen ears
  • Restores torn or stretched earlobes
  • Improves balance and symmetry in facial aesthetics
  • Boosts self-confidence for both children and adults
  • Provides permanent results with proper care
  • Involves minimal scarring, concealed by natural ear contours
  • Offers a relatively short recovery compared to more invasive surgeries

How Otoplasty Works

Otoplasty typically takes between two and three hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure. Patients receive either local or general anesthesia to ensure comfort, and most return home the same day.

During surgery:

  • Small incisions are made behind the ear or in natural folds.
  • Cartilage is reshaped and repositioned to achieve the desired contour.
  • Excess skin is trimmed if necessary, and sutures are placed to secure results.

Your Recovery Process

After otoplasty, it’s normal to experience swelling, mild discomfort, or a sensation of tightness around the ears. These effects usually improve within two weeks. Most patients return to work or school within about a week, while strenuous exercise should be avoided for three to four weeks.

Our Scottsdale surgeons will provide detailed instructions for incision care, bandaging, and follow-up visits to ensure smooth healing and beautiful results.
