What is an otoplasty?

Otoplasty, or cosmetic ear surgery, is a procedure designed to improve the appearance of a person’s ears by adjusting the shape, size, or position in relation to the skull. A variety of delicate techniques can be used to reshape or reposition the ears depending on each individual’s unique concerns and goals. The goal of otoplasty is to correct the appearance of the ear, so it’s best performed by a cosmetic surgeon with attention to detail and a keen artistic eye for angles and proportions, such as Dr. Michelle Lee in Beverly Hills.

What are the benefits of an otoplasty?

Whether the concern is ears that are large or that stick out too far, otoplasty can be life-changing for those that feel self-conscious about their ears. It’s a low-risk, outpatient procedure that can be performed under local or general anesthesia. The procedure is relatively quick and incisions are typically well hidden within the natural creases of the ear.

Am I a candidate for an otoplasty?

Otoplasty candidates include those who are insecure about the appearance of their ears. Beverly Hills otoplasty ear surgery can correct:

  • Large ears
  • Ears that extend out too far from the head
  • Ears that are injured from trauma
  • Ears needing restoration from skin cancer surgery
  • Any dissatisfaction with a previous ear surgery

Otoplasty recovery

Most otoplasty patients don’t experience any major pain or discomfort and thoroughly enjoy the transformative results. After the surgery is performed, a light dressing will be placed around the ears, and a compression headband will keep the ears covered and protected. Most of the swelling and discomfort will subside within the first week, though a compressive headband will need to be worn for a couple of weeks. Throughout recovery and while wearing the headband, patients are advised to avoid sleeping on their sides.

Frequently Asked Questions About Otoplasty

Will otoplasty results look natural?

The goal is to refine ear position and shape without making the results appear overly tight or artificial.

How long do otoplasty results last?

Otoplasty results are considered long-lasting because the cartilage is permanently reshaped during surgery.

Will there be visible scars after otoplasty?

Incisions are typically hidden within natural ear creases or behind the ears to minimize visible scarring.

Can adults undergo otoplasty?

Yes. Otoplasty is commonly performed on both adults and younger patients depending on their concerns.

Can otoplasty correct ears damaged by injury?

Yes. Otoplasty techniques may help restore ears affected by trauma or prior surgery.

How soon can I return to normal activities after otoplasty?

Most patients return to light daily activities within about a week, though healing restrictions continue longer.

Can otoplasty improve confidence?

Many patients feel less self-conscious about their appearance after correcting prominent or asymmetrical ears.

Can otoplasty be combined with other facial procedures?

Yes. Otoplasty may be performed alongside other facial procedures depending on the patient's goals.
