Every year thousands of patients visit our plastic surgery practice to address ears that protrude, feel oversized, or look asymmetrical. Otoplasty is a streamlined procedure that can be performed once the ears have matured, typically after age four, and it remains just as effective for adults who did not have surgery earlier in life.
The approach is tailored to your anatomy. One of the most common techniques gently pins the ear back by reshaping cartilage behind the ear so it rests closer to the head. During the same visit Dr. Core can reduce ear size, refine shape, or correct previous piercings or trauma.
Incisions hide in the crease behind the ear, and most surgeries take under two hours with a short recovery.
If you are concerned about ear size, shape, or projection for yourself or your child, schedule a consultation with Dr. Grady Core to review options.
We are happy to answer any questions you may have and get you on your way to beautiful, natural-looking results. Contact us.
