Otoplasty (Ear Surgery)
Serving Albuquerque & Santa Fe, New Mexico
Ear
surgery is a procedure performed to reshape the ear and give it
a more natural appearance.
The surgery is usually done on ears that are too large or that protrude from the head. Many times, the problem
is caused by an undeveloped middle fold of the ear. It is one of
the few cosmetic procedures performed on children.
During an otoplasty
surgery, the cartilage of the ear is weakened so that it bends easily
into the desired shape. At the same time, stitches are placed in
the cartilage to hold the ear in position until the new shape has
formed. The results of otoplasty are subtle and can have a very
positive effect on one's overall appearance and confidence.
