Otoplasty

Starting from $3,000

What can Otoplasty Surgery improve?

Protruding ears

Patients with protruding ears have changes in the ear cartilage that cause it to gain projection and loose definition. Ear surgery removes some of the excess cartilage and uses internal sutures to mold its shape.

Large earlobe

Although not present in every patient, large ears may also be caused by a large or protruding ear lobe. Otoplasty reduces the protrusion and excess earlobe skin.

Split earlobe

Frequently caused by piercings or heavy earrings, the earlobe may appear split or floppy and dilated. Earlobe surgery rearranges the excess and split skin to create a new and natural look.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

Patients with protruding ears, large ears, or split earlobes are good candidates for the procedure. Dr. Rueda will review your case and recommend the most appropriate procedure.

Ear surgery requires the cartilage of the ear to be malleable and moldable and is possible to perform at any age if the cartilage remains in this form. However, most procedure are done on patients ages 9-25; these ages reflect increased social pressure from peers, friends, or coworkers.

If the molding is not disrupted the results of ear surgery can be permanent. Dr. Rueda maximizes the durability of the molding by relying on cartilage carving and not only sutures.
