What Is Otoplasty?

Otoplasty, commonly known as ear pinning or ear reshaping surgery, is a procedure that adjusts the position, shape, or size of the ears. Dr. Chopra tailors this procedure to address your specific concerns, like as ears that protrude too far from the head, overly large ears, or abnormalities resulting from injury or birth defects.

By modifying your ear’s cartilage and structural profile, Dr. Chopra can create a more natural and harmonious appearance. The end result will leave you with a higher level of symmetry and a better sense of proportion, allowing your ears to complement your facial features rather than draw unwanted attention to themselves.

When to Consider Otoplasty Surgery

If you're unhappy with the appearance of your ears, otoplasty in Miami at Chopra Plastic Surgery might be the solution you've been considering. During your initial consultation, Dr. Chopra will help you learn about the procedure and decide whether or not it’s the ideal choice for you. You might consider this surgery if you’ve experienced the following issues:

  • Feeling self-conscious about ears that stick out or are overly prominent
  • Having asymmetrical ears or deformities due to injury or congenital conditions
  • Wishing to correct previous ear surgeries that didn't meet your expectations
  • Experiencing discomfort or social anxiety related to the appearance of your ears
  • Desiring a permanent solution to improve ear shape or position

How Otoplasty Works

Dr. Chopra understands that every patient is unique and will customize your otoplasty procedure to address your personal cosmetic goals. On the day of your surgery, Dr. Chopra’s team will place you under either general or local anesthesia according to your treatment plan. In most cases, general anesthesia is ideal for children, and either local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia is used for adults. Dr. Chopra will then begin your surgery by making small incisions behind your ear, ensuring that any post-procedural scars will be naturally hidden once your recovery process is complete. Through these incisions, Dr. Chopra will then carefully reshape or reposition your ear’s cartilage. This may involve folding the cartilage to bring your ears closer to your head, reducing the size of larger ears, or correcting any structural abnormalities. Sutures will then be used to secure the new shape of your ears, and Dr. Chopra will carefully close the incisions with fine stitches.

Rest, Recovery, and Results

After the procedure, your ears will be bandaged to protect them and support their new shape during your initial healing phase. Some discomfort, swelling, and mild bruising are normal, and our team will ensure that you have everything you need to heal and recover comfortably. Dr. Chopra will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions and will set follow-up appointments so he can ensure that you’re healing nicely. Most patients can resume light activities within a few days, but it's important to avoid strenuous exercise and contact sports for six to eight weeks. Sleeping with your head elevated and not putting pressure on your ears will aid in healing. As the swelling subsides, you'll begin to see the full benefits of the surgery: ears that are in proportion and harmony with your face.
