Otoplasty Ear Surgery Questions
Serving Beverly Hills, Los Angeles,
Newport Beach, & Orange County, California
Can otoplasty ear surgery reduce the size of my ears?
Yes. If necessary, the cosmetic surgeon can remove small sections of cartilage from the outer ear, making the ears smaller.
Can ear surgery make my ears protrude less?
Yes. In an otoplasty, the surgeon can resculpt and reshape the ears so that they lay closer to the head.
What age is right for otoplasty?
Otoplasty can be performed on patients as young as four, and is most commonly performed on children and adolescents. There is no upper age limit for otoplasty, however, and it is a safe and effective procedure for any adult who is reasonably healthy.
Is otoplasty ear surgery permanent?
Yes. The ears are almost fully formed by about age four, so your ears will not continue to grow after an otoplasty.
The effects of the ear surgery should last a lifetime.
Does otoplasty ear surgery leave scars?
Otoplasty requires a tiny incision made at the back of the ears, so any scarring that results is minimal and out of view.
