Otoplasty Before & After Case 239

Ear surgery (otoplasty) reshapes ear cartilage to draw less attention to the ears. The ear cartilage can be excessive, lack folds, or have a combination of factors that make them "stick out" and draw attention. As a result, the best plastic surgeons use a variety of techniques to reshape the cartilage.

This Washington otoplasty patient had hidden her ears with her hair. She disliked the prominence of the cartilage. She consulted facial plastic surgeon Dr. Chaboki to review otoplasty options. She underwent ear surgery via local anesthesia and had an uneventful recovery. Her ears now draw less attention and still look natural with otoplasty. She doesn't think about her ears anymore and styles her hair however she wants.
