Get answers to common questions about Ear Surgery.

Ear surgery, or otoplasty, is a procedure to reshape, resize, or reposition ears that are prominent or misshapen, enhancing facial symmetry.

Ideal candidates include children over five, teenagers, and adults looking to address prominent or asymmetric ears for aesthetic reasons.

The procedure generally involves making incisions behind the ears, adjusting the cartilage structure, and stitching for a natural appearance.

Most patients experience minimal downtime and can return to normal activities within a week, with final results visible after a few months.

As with any surgery, there are risks including infection, scarring, or dissatisfaction with results, all of which we will discuss during your consultation.

Preparation includes avoiding certain medications, understanding post-operative care, and discussing your goals and concerns with Dr. Javaheri.
