Otoplasty Overview

What Is Ear Surgery?

Ear surgery, also known as otoplasty, can be an effective solution for individuals looking to improve the appearance of their ears. Whether it’s reducing the size, correcting the shape, or repositioning the ears closer to the head, otoplasty can address various aesthetic concerns. For patients in Ponte Vedra Beach, our team offers expert ear surgery focusing on natural, balanced results that harmonize with your overall facial structure.

The procedure is commonly chosen by both adults and children, particularly those who experience embarrassment or discomfort due to prominent or asymmetrical ears. At Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery, our surgeons employ advanced techniques to minimize scarring while achieving long-lasting, aesthetically pleasing outcomes.

The Ear Surgery Procedure

During ear surgery, your surgeon carefully reshapes the cartilage to achieve a more balanced and symmetrical appearance. This procedure typically involves making small incisions behind the ears, which allows for discreet scar placement. Depending on the patient’s needs, the surgeon may reposition the ears closer to the head or reduce the size of overly large ears. The entire procedure is usually performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, making it a relatively comfortable experience for patients.

What's Recovery Like After Ear Surgery?

Recovery from ear surgery is generally straightforward. Most patients experience mild discomfort and swelling, which can be managed with prescribed medications. A bandage or head wrap may be applied to protect the ears and help them heal in their new position. Most patients can return to normal activities, including work or school, within a week, though strenuous activities should be avoided for several weeks. Final results, with reduced swelling and enhanced ear shape, typically become apparent over a few months.
