OUR APPROACH TO YOUR Ear Surgery
Otoplasty is not only about making the ears smaller, but also involves restoring the delicate balance that exists between the ears and other facial features to produce a natural-looking result. Our approach to reshaping the ears is designed to give our patients a more balanced and symmetrical appearance.
After surgery it is typical to have some bruising and swelling which will resolve over the following weeks. We recommend no heavy lifting or strenuous exercise for approximately 4 weeks following surgery. Most of our patients return to relatively normal activity and sedentary work after 3 days.
All surgery carries risks which are important to understand so that you make a well-informed decision. Complications associated with otoplasty include bleeding/hematoma, infection, asymmetry, skin necrosis (skin death/loss), recurrence of ear prominence, poor scarring, deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in the legs) and anesthetic complications.
This listing is not all-inclusive and patients may be at risk for additional complications depending on their past medical and surgical history. A thorough discussion will occur during consultation with your surgeon including ways to mitigate risks prior to surgery and steps taken to treat complications should they occur.
