Procedure:
Otoplasty
Balancing Both Ears
Ears are never perfect mirror images, and one of the harder parts of otoplasty is making two different ears look as though they belong together. The surgeon assesses each side separately, since one ear may need more correction than the other, and the aim is a balanced result and not an identical one. Individual results vary, and these photographs show one patient's outcome.
Some patients also have a stretched or torn earlobe, or an ear that is larger than average, alongside a prominent ear. Earlobe repair and the wider ear surgery options can be planned together with pinning when the need is identified early.
Credentials are worth checking for any facial surgery, and this explanation of what double board certification means is a good place to start. Patients from outside the area can begin with a video consultation, and the traveling patients guide covers planning a visit.
Further cases are in the men's ear gallery.
