Otoplasty Procedure

In older children and adults, the procedure can be performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia in the office. Younger children often require general anesthetic to decrease anxiety and ensure cooperation during the procedure. The most common technique utilizes an incision in a concealed location behind the ear. This is where sutures will be placed to hold the ear cartilage in its new, permanent location, to get the ears closer to the head. The goal of this cosmetic surgery is to reposition or reshape the ear into a more natural position.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Thompson for several months. He is so gentle and kind when examining you, that you forget your at the doctor’s office. He takes the time to explain everything in detail and makes you feel very comfortable during your visits and procedures. He has called me personally to check up on me. After surgery Not something doctors normally do. I highly recommend Dr. Thompson. He’s the best!

Recovery from Otoplasty

The Otoplasty procedure is performed on an outpatient basis. Patients go home the same day and can resume near-normal activity. Due to the risk of injury or disrupting the sutures as the ear heals, patients are counseled to avoid exertional physical activity for the first two weeks after the surgery and contact sports for the first one to two months. There is usually very little pain or discomfort, but if present can be controlled with over the counter pain medications. A dressing will be placed immediately after surgery and removed during the patient’s follow up visit.
