Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Ear Surgery.
Ear surgery (otoplasty) involves modifying cartilage and tissue to reposition or reshape prominent ears. Under local or general anesthesia, incisions are placed behind the ear, cartilage is adjusted, and sutures secure the new shape. Recovery, risks, and expectations are discussed during consultation.
Many patients, including children after ear cartilage stabilizes (typically around age five) and adults, are candidates. Candidacy depends on ear anatomy, overall health, and aesthetic goals. Dr. Javaheri evaluates your needs and recommends timing and technique for optimal results.
Initial recovery takes about one to two weeks; most patients return to non-strenuous activities within a week. Swelling and tenderness decrease over several weeks, while full contour refinement can continue for months. Clear aftercare instructions help minimize complications.
Scars are typically concealed behind the ear and fade over time. Proper technique preserves ear function; otoplasty does not impair hearing. Incision placement and scar management are planned to minimize visible scarring and promote discreet healing.
Risks include infection, bleeding, asymmetry, overcorrection, or changes in sensation. These are uncommon when performed by an experienced surgeon. Thorough preoperative assessment, sterile technique, and attentive postoperative care reduce complication rates.
Cost varies based on procedure complexity, anesthesia, facility fees, and surgeon expertise. During consultation we provide a transparent estimate and discuss financing. Insurance may cover cases with congenital or functional issues; we assist with documentation when applicable.
