Otoplasty – Baltimore Plastic Surgery
Otoplasty surgery begins with an incision made along the back side of the ear. Through this incision excess cartilage and unneeded tissue is removed. As the incisions are closed the ears are repositioned more closely to the sides of the head, reducing protrusion. The ears are then bandaged and allowed to heal into their new position. Depending on the specifics of the case, otoplasty can take one to two hours to complete.
After Your Otoplasty
Following otoplasty surgery, contact with the ears should be avoided during the healing process. Normal activities may be resumed within several weeks of the surgery. Most patients are pleased to discover they experience only mild discomfort following their procedure.
