What is Cosmetic Ear Surgery?

Cosmetic ear surgery is performed to improve the shape, size and/or position of the ears. In terms of the best time to perform the surgery, otoplasty can be performed during the first few weeks of life for a baby as well as when a person reaches the age of 5 or 6 years old. By the time a person reaches that age, their ears have reached around 80-90\\\% of their adult size.

Cosmetic ear surgery is a surgical option that addresses issues pertaining to the ears such as:

  • Ears that are overly large and are considered to be protruding
  • Ears that are injured or misshapen due to trauma or injury
  • Defects in the structure of the ear that have been present since the moment a person was born

Otoplasty, which is also known as ear pinning, is a solution that reshapes one or both of the ears. Cosmetic ear surgery can also be performed to reduce the size of the ears/earlobes and also remove any excess skin and cartilage. As mentioned above, otoplasty is typically performed on children as well as adults who did not have the surgery as a child. The end result is ears that are less prominent or misshapen in their appearance. By cutting out the cartilage, or folding and stitching the cartilage rather than cutting it, the ear can be reshaped into a new contour.

Whether the cartilage is cut, or the cartilage is folded and stitched, the surgeon will make a small cut at the back of the ear in order to better access the cartilage. An otoplasty procedure can be performed to reshape only one of the ears if desired by the patient. If both ears are reshaped, this is a procedure known as bilateral otoplasty. In general, ear reduction surgery will remove unwanted skin and cartilage to provide a look that is smaller and more natural in appearance.

Cost and Results of Cosmetic Ear Surgery

The cost of otoplasty surgery is anywhere in the range of $3000-$7000. This is just the price for the surgery and does not include any additional fees charged by the surgeon, the facility or any fees for the anesthesia used during the procedure. The price can also vary depending on the technique used by the surgeon, the amount of work that is performed by the doctor and the geographic location of the surgery.

Following the procedure, the patient will experience bruising and swelling. After about 2-3 weeks, some results will be visible but it takes about a year for the final results to be seen. Once the final results are visible after a year, they should last a lifetime.

Why San Diego is a Popular Destination

Cosmetic ear surgery is popular in San Diego, as well as its surrounding areas, due to the large number of skilled and board-certified doctors currently performing the procedure in the area. Patients also enjoy travelling to San Diego because of its beautiful weather and beaches and other tourist attractions. If you are interested in finding a doctor in San Diego to perform cosmetic ear surgery, do proper research by checking the website of the doctor you have in mind. You should also schedule a consultation appointment and ask the doctor for “before and after” photos of patients that have had the surgery performed in his, or her, office. Finally, you should discuss your desired results and make sure the surgeon is on the same page so you will not be disappointed by the final results.
