Ear Surgery California | Susan Kaweski, MD

What is Ear Surgery (Otoplasty)?

Ear surgery, or otoplasty, is a versatile cosmetic intervention designed to adjust the ears' appearance and create a more balanced facial profile. This procedure addresses various ear-related concerns, including overly large ears, protruding ears, asymmetry, and congenital or injury-related deformities.

Key Benefits of Ear Surgery

• Enhanced Self-Esteem: Reduces potential emotional impacts from ear-related appearance concerns
