Discreet Ears That Blend In

The shape and position of your ears can significantly influence how you look. They can contribute to facial balance, or they can draw attention away from your natural beauty.

Subtle, Confident Change

If you have ears that stick out too far and make you self-conscious, otoplasty can draw them closer to your head so they are more discreet. It’s a cosmetic procedure that reshapes and repositions prominent ears.

Ear pinning with Dr. Wingate can:

  • Improve facial symmetry
  • Correct ears that are too prominent
  • Reposition ears so they are more discreet

Ear Reduction and Ear Augmentation Surgery

If your ears require reshaping in addition to pinning, Dr. Wingate can perform ear reduction surgery or ear augmentation surgery. For those who are self-conscious about large ears, an ear reduction can reduce the overall size of the ears so they are more proportionate with the rest of your features. If your ears are too small or lack definition, an ear augmentation can add structure to the ears to improve balance.

The Surgery

Your otoplasty will be done under general anesthesia. Once the medication has taken effect, Dr. Wingate will create an incision on the back of your ear. He will then weaken or remove the cartilage that’s causing your ear to protrude. He will then position your ear in a more desirable location before sewing it into place with sutures. 

Once the process has been completed on both ears, we will apply a dressing and compression bandage to your ears to protect the area during the initial recovery period.

The Recovery

You’ll return home the same day as your otoplasty to begin the recovery period. The bandages will stay in place for about one week. Once the bandages are removed, you may need to wear a supportive headband while you’re sleeping for a few additional weeks to promote optimal healing.

Your Results

Once the bandages are removed, you’ll see an immediate improvement in your ears’ appearance. However, your results won’t be considered final for another several weeks. During that time, swelling and bruising will continue to subside.
