Ear Reshaping
Patients with prominent or large protruding ears, lack
of ear definition or shape irregularities due to trauma may benefit from
ear reshaping techniques. The actual technique used will vary depending
on the patient's concern and anatomy. The purpose of this procedure is
to obtain more naturally-looking ears.
This is an outpatient procedure done under general or local anesthesia.
General anesthesia
is recommended for children. The incisions are made behind
the ear and are usually not visible. A head dressing is worn for 5 to
7 days at which time the patient may return to
work or school.
