What is Ear Surgery?
Otoplasty, or ear surgery, fixes prominent ears by correcting deformities in the cartilage of the ear. This surgery can be performed as early as 6 years old and can be important to a child’s adjustment to school. Prominent ears are caused by one of several factors, including parts of the ear cartilage that are too big and parts of the ear cartilage that are not shaped properly. If you feel that you or your child could benefit from ear surgery, please give us a call today.
Here at Beaux Arts Institute of Plastic Surgery, our team treats every patient with compassion and respect. We would be happy to show you some ear surgery before and after pictures to help guide you in the right direction, as well as discuss ear surgery costs. Don’t hesitate to give us a call and set up your initial consultation.
How is Ear Surgery Performed?
During the ear surgery procedure, an incision is made on the back of the ear to do all the reshaping and cannot be seen even if your hair is worn up. At the end of the procedure, you will be placed in a protective dressing that will stay in place until your follow-up visit the following week. It is not a difficult surgery. It is an outpatient procedure with minimal pain, which is well-tolerated by both children and adults.
How Do I Know if Ear Surgery is Right for Me?
If you have severely misshaped ears or part of your ear is missing, you may need ear surgery to restore the ear’s normal appearance. Also, if you or your child is embarrassed by large or protruding ears, ear surgery can greatly minimize this. At your consultation, we will look at your ear and determine whether the ear cartilage needs to be reshaped, reduced or both. To see what a difference this surgery can make in your overall appearance, take a look at some ear surgery before and after pictures.

What Type of Post-Operative Ear Surgery Care Can I Expect?
Ear surgery recovery typically takes about one week. After the original bandages are removed, you will need to wear a headband to protect your ears for an additional week.

Real Patient Reviews
"I would highly recommend Dr. Nia Banks. She and her office staff are professional, yet caring about your fears and concerns. I am a 19 survivor of breast cancer. I have had two unsuccessful reconstructive surgeries and had come to the conclusion that there was no hope for me until I was referred to Dr. Banks by my primary care physician. Well, I had the surgery and I am so freaking proud of my breasts now. Dr. Banks did an amazing job and has made me feel like a woman again. I would recommend Dr. Banks for anyone needing plastic surgery!"
