Ear Procedures
- Ear Surgery -
Ear surgery, or otoplasty, corrects the shape or position of the ears, most often by setting prominent ears closer to the head.
- Ideal for prominent, asymmetrical, or misshapen ears
- Commonly performed on both children and adults
- Incisions hidden behind the ear for minimal visibility
- Earlobe Repair -
Earlobe repair restores torn, stretched, or gauged lobes due to trauma or heavy earrings. It recreates a natural contour and allows for re-piercing if desired.
- Treats split, elongated, or damaged lobes
- In-office procedure with local anesthesia
- Quick, effective, and discreet with a natural result
What Happens During the procedures?
Both otoplasty and earlobe repair are typically performed under local anesthesia, though sedation may be used for children or more complex reshaping.
- Otoplasty: Incisions are made behind the ears to access the cartilage. The ears are then reshaped, repositioned, and sutured closer to the head.
- Earlobe Repair: A small section of the damaged skin is removed, and the lobe is meticulously reshaped and sutured for a smooth finish
Is Ear Surgery Right For Me?
You may be a good candidate if you:
-
Feel self-conscious about protruding, uneven, or large ears
- Have torn or stretched earlobes from earrings or injury
- Want to restore a more proportional, refined ear shape
-
Are in good health and want a subtle, natural-looking result
Recovery and Results
Both procedures have minimal downtime. You may experience mild swelling or tenderness, which resolves within a few days. Bandages or steri-strips may be applied to protect the area during healing.
You can expect:
Improved symmetry and proportion of the ears or earlobes
Minimal scarring - usually hidden or barely visible
Return to most activities within 3–7 days
Re-piercing allowed after full healing - typically 6–8 weeks

Frequently Asked Questions
What age is best for otoplasty?
Otoplasty can be performed as early as age 5 when the ears are nearly fully developed. Adults of any age can benefit as well.
Will ear surgery affect my hearing?
No. Otoplasty affects the outer ear only and does not impact hearing ability.
Is ear surgery permanent?
Yes. Once the cartilage is reshaped and healed, results are permanent.
Can I re-pierce my ears after earlobe repair?
Yes, typically after 6–8 weeks. Dr. Moosavi will guide you on proper healing time.
Are the scars visible?
Incisions for ear surgery are hidden behind the ears, and earlobe repair scars are minimal and fade quickly.
