Otoplasty candidates include adults looking to improve the size, shape, or positioning of their ears.
Understanding Otoplasty: Reshaping Ears with Care
Performed on an outpatient basis, otoplasty involves the use of local anesthetic combined with sedation for comfort. Dr. Stella begins by making incisions discreetly behind the ear within natural folds. Subsequently, she delicately adjusts cartilage and removes excess skin, securing it in the desired position using permanent sutures. The incisions are meticulously closed with fine sutures, and soft dressings are applied to cushion the ears. Dr. Stella provides prescribed pain relief to ensure minimal post-procedure discomfort, allowing most patients to resume their daily routines within 5 to 10 days.
