How Is Otoplasty Performed?
Every case is different, but the doctor typically begins otoplasty by incising at the ear where the lobe meets the head. Dr. Taghizadeh will then remove excess cartilage and skin for a more appealing, natural ear shape. After removal of cartilage, he will permanently suture the ears to the head as necessary. If no cartilage is removed, he may use sutures to bring sections of the ear together. Once he attains your desired shape, Dr. Taghizadeh will add sutures to help the ear reform during the recovery process.
If you are seeking a reduction in size through otoplasty, the doctor will make an incision at the front of your ear, inside the ear rim. This placement, plus the use of dissolvable sutures, results in a scar-free look after your ear heals from the procedure.
