What Is Ear Surgery?
Ear surgery, or otoplasty, is a surgical cosmetic treatment that helps to correct the size, shape, and proportion of the ears for a more natural and balanced appearance. At Hedden & Gunn Plastic Surgery, our plastic surgeons have assisted many individuals wishing to correct overly large or protruding ears or who are dissatisfied with the results of a past ear surgery.

How Is Ear Surgery Performed?
Ear reshaping surgery is performed using general anesthesia or IV sedation. In most cases, the incision is placed around the back portion of the ear or the natural folds of the inner ear. During surgery, cartilage is reshaped, folded, or removed to achieve the desired contour. In some cases, the ears may be pinned back closer to the head. It is common for both ears to be altered during treatment to make sure they appear balanced. Once the adjustments are made, the incisions are closed with sutures and a protective dressing is applied to support healing.
