Otoplasty

Otoplasty, or cosmetic ear surgery, is a procedure performed to help patients improve the appearance of their ears. During this cosmetic procedure, a plastic surgeon uses strategically placed incisions to reshape the patient’s ear cartilages and positional them in an ideal and aesthetically pleasing position. Otoplasty can be performed on both infant and adult patients to help them achieve the desired ear shape.

Who Is a Candidate for Otoplasty?

Otoplasty can be performed on both children and adults. It is not necessary for children to have permanent cartilage when the surgery is performed.

At Dr. Prajwal K Rao clinic, our plastic surgeon takes into consideration a patient’s physical and mental health when selecting the most appropriate technique for them.

How Does Otoplasty Correct Ear Appearance?

During the otoplasty procedure, a plastic surgeon can remove, reshape, or rebuild the cartilage and abundantly-structural tissue behind the ears to achieve the desired outcome.
