Ear Surgery

Ear Surgery is also known as an otoplasty.

The surgery will repair or reshape the ear to change the appearance of protruding or uneven ears.

Ear surgery may be performed on adults or children.

Good candidates for Ear Surgery:
Are self conscious about the appearance of the ears
Have ear deformities from trauma or genetics
Have uneven ears
Have realistic expectations
Do not smoke

Dr. Raven Henderson will examine you and help determine which procedure will acheive your desired look then provide you expert treatment and care during the process.

Dr. Henderson can only work with the existing structure of your ear cartilage, limiting how far your ear can be altered.

Ear surgery is usually performed on both ears for the best balance.

Exact symmetry is not likely. Just as natural ears are not perfectly matched, so to might the ear position after otoplasty not match perfectly.

Dr. Henderson will examine you and recommend the procedures that will help you achieve your desired look.

Most Ear Surgery on children is performed under general anesthesia.

Adults may have general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation.
