Ear Surgery (Otoplasty) in Newport Beach & Orange County
Many people feel insecure about having ears that do not fit their faces. Whether it’s due to their size, shape, or projection, otoplasty can address ears that distract from the rest of their facial features. At Pacific Center for Plastic Surgery in Newport Beach, our highly skilled surgeons have decades of experience helping patients achieve smaller, more symmetrical ears with otoplasty.
What is Ear Surgery (Otoplasty)?
Otoplasty, or ear pinning, works by reshaping and resizing the ears or “pinning” back ears that stick out. Our renowned surgeons at the Pacific Center for Plastic Surgery can also perform ear surgery to improve the results of a previous otoplasty procedure.
During your consultation, our surgeons will discuss your goals and examine your ears to determine if otoplasty is right for you. We’ll be honest and transparent throughout your transformation journey and answer any questions you have along the way.
At Pacific Center for Plastic Surgery, we strive to understand your unique concerns and goals to find the best treatment plan for you. We are committed to helping you manage your ear surgery expenses with our various financing options. With a simple application process, we work to ensure that nothing comes between you and reaching your aesthetic goals.
What are the Benefits of Ear Surgery (Otoplasty)?
Ear surgery, also known as otoplasty, helps people improve the look and function of their ears. Whether it’s for cosmetic or functional reasons, otoplasty can greatly enhance confidence and well-being.
Enhanced Aesthetic Appearance
One of the main benefits of ear surgery is an improved appearance. For those with protruding ears or overly large ears, otoplasty can bring the ears closer to the head or resize them. The procedure creates a more balanced look with other facial features by reshaping the ear cartilage.
Correction of Ear Deformities
Otoplasty is also effective for fixing ear deformities that may have been present since birth or developed over time. Issues such as misshapen ears, excess cartilage, or outer ear problems can be addressed.
Functional Improvements
While ear surgery is often done for cosmetic reasons, it can also improve function. Some people experience better ear function after their surgery, especially if the shape or size of the ears has caused issues like recurring ear infections.
Long-Lasting Results
The results from otoplasty are generally long-lasting and, in most cases, permanent. With a one-time procedure, you can achieve results that last for years. The ears retain their new shape, helping patients enjoy the benefits of ear reshaping well into the future.
What Will My Scars From Ear Surgery (Otoplasty) Look Like?
When done by an experienced plastic surgeon, otoplasty leaves minimal, often hidden scars. Surgeons usually make small incisions behind the ears, where they are less noticeable. If incisions are required on the front, they are carefully placed in the natural folds to avoid visible scarring.
What Are the Risks of Ear Surgery (Otoplasty)?
Like any plastic surgery, ear surgery (otoplasty) carries some risks. While it is generally safe, patients may experience some side effects, such as swelling, a minor infection, or scarring. Discussing these risks with a board-certified plastic surgeon during consultation is essential to ensure a clear understanding.
Considerations Before Ear Surgery (Otoplasty)
Ear surgery can be life-changing, but it’s important to prepare thoughtfully. Patients should consider various factors, from selecting a skilled surgeon to understanding the potential risks and setting realistic goals.
Consultation with a Qualified Surgeon
The first step is to meet with a qualified surgeon, ideally a board-certified plastic surgeon with experience with ear reshaping. During the consultation, your surgeon will evaluate your ears and discuss the best approach to meeting your goals.
Realistic Expectations
While otoplasty can produce excellent results, realistic expectations are essential. It’s important to understand what ear surgery can and cannot do. Your surgeon will guide you through what to expect, helping you make informed decisions about your procedure.
Potential Risks
There are risks associated with general anesthesia and local anesthesia, as well as specific risks tied to ear surgery, such as scarring, infection, or, in rare cases, changes in ear shape. While risks are minimized with an experienced surgeon, being aware of them helps ensure you are fully prepared.
Age Factors
Otoplasty is suitable for patients as young as five. If prominent ears are a concern for young children, surgery at an early age can help avoid social discomfort. Adults can also benefit from ear surgery; the procedure has no upper age limit.
