Otoplasty (Ear Surgery) in Ashburn, VA | The Loudoun Center for Plastic Surgery

Understanding Cosmetic Ear Surgery

Ears that appear to protrude outward, are asymmetrical, or look unnaturally large can significantly impact self-esteem. Otoplasty, or ear reshaping surgery, is a specialized cosmetic procedure designed to recontour the size, position, and shape of the ears to achieve a normal, balanced appearance.

Ideal Candidates for Ear Reshaping

• Children aged 5-6 years old
• Individuals with protruding or misshapen ears
• Patients with torn or stretched earlobes
• Those seeking improved facial symmetry

Surgical Technique

The ear surgery procedure is performed under anesthesia, with incisions strategically placed behind the ear or within inner folds. During the procedure, cartilage is carefully manipulated to create a natural-looking contour, ensuring both ears appear symmetrical.

Recovery and Expectations

Following the procedure, patients receive detailed recovery instructions. Recovery typically involves wearing protective ear dressings and avoiding direct pressure on the ears. Most patients can expect to see immediate results that continue to improve as healing progresses.
