Ear Reconstruction

Ear surgery, also known as otoplasty, can improve the position, proportion or shape of the ear. It can also be used to correct ear or earlobe shape which has been changed by trauma or by the effects of earrings. The goal of ear surgery is to enhance the natural proportions of the face, to improve the appearance and shape of your ear, and to restore a sense of balance.

Ear surgery can correct a defect in the ear structure that is present at birth, overly large ears (macrotia) or protruding ears on one or both sides. The best plastic surgeons in South Florida will use varying techniques to perform the ear surgery depending on the type of correction being done. Given that the ear will be permanently positioned closer to the head, the surgical scars will be hidden in the natural creases of the ear or behind the ear.
