Ear Surgery Spring, TX | Andrew T. Lyos, MD, FACS

Understanding Aesthetic Ear Surgery

Aesthetic ear surgery, or otoplasty, is a specialized surgical procedure designed to reshape and improve the appearance of ears. Candidates typically have ears that are disproportionately large, protrude significantly from the head, have an underdeveloped middle fold, or exhibit structural deformities.

Ideal Candidates for Ear Surgery

• Children between ages 4-14
• Adults with ear shape or position concerns
• Individuals with protruding or asymmetrical ears
• Patients seeking to address ear-related self-consciousness

Surgical Procedure Details

The otoplasty procedure is performed under general anesthesia for children and can utilize general or local anesthesia for adult patients. Dr. Lyos makes a strategic incision behind the ear to modify its shape and positioning.

Procedure Characteristics

• Outpatient surgical procedure
• Immediate post-surgical head dressing
• Nighttime headband recommended for several weeks
• Minor swelling and discoloration typically subsides within weeks

Benefits of Professional Ear Surgery

Ear surgery can provide significant aesthetic and psychological benefits by addressing ear-related insecurities. The procedure offers a permanent solution to ear shape concerns, eliminating the need for temporary concealment techniques.

Long-Term Outcomes

Patients often experience improved self-confidence and reduced social anxiety following successful otoplasty. The surgical techniques employed by Dr. Lyos ensure natural-looking, balanced ear proportions.
