What is Otoplasty?

Otoplasty, also known as ear surgery, is a transformative procedure designed to improve the appearance of the ears. Whether you’re addressing a structural defect present since birth, reshaping ears affected by injury, or correcting dissatisfaction with previous ear surgery, otoplasty can create a natural, balanced look that enhances your overall facial harmony.

Dr. Niki Christopoulos, a double board-certified plastic surgeon, combines advanced techniques with a personalized approach to deliver stunning, natural-looking results. During your consultation, she will evaluate your goals, discuss your options, and determine if otoplasty is the right procedure for you. With Dr. Christopoulos’s expertise, you can achieve ears that are proportional to your face, boosting your confidence and comfort in your appearance.

Am I a Good Candidate for Ear Surgery?

Otoplasty is a versatile procedure that can address a variety of concerns. You may be a good candidate if you:

• Have prominent ears that stick out or are not positioned close to the head
• Wish to correct split, torn, or stretched earlobes caused by earrings or gauging
• Are dissatisfied with the results of a previous ear surgery
• Have ears that appear overly large or small relative to your facial features

Dr. Christopoulos takes the time to assess your unique needs and create a customized surgical plan that delivers beautiful, natural results. Whether you’re looking to refine the shape, size, or position of your ears, otoplasty can help you achieve a balanced and harmonious look.

Dr. Christopoulos’s Approach to Otoplasty

Dr. Christopoulos’s approach to otoplasty is rooted in precision, artistry, and patient comfort. With her extensive experience and advanced techniques, she ensures that every procedure is tailored to your anatomy and aesthetic goals.

• Comfortable, Outpatient Procedure:
  Ear surgery is performed in the comfort of our fully accredited office as an outpatient procedure, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience.
• Minimally Invasive Techniques:
  For prominent ears, Dr. Christopoulos uses small incisions hidden behind the ear in natural creases. These incisions allow her to contour and mold the cartilage to achieve the desired shape and position. For large or torn earlobes, precise incisions are made to correct abnormalities and restore a natural look.
• Customized Anesthesia Options:
  Local anesthesia with or without oral sedation is used to ensure your comfort and safety throughout the procedure.
• Efficient Surgery:
  Most otoplasty procedures take about an hour, making it a convenient option for those seeking quick and effective results.

Dr. Christopoulos’s expertise as a double board-certified plastic surgeon ensures that your procedure is performed with the highest level of skill and care, giving you results that are as functional as they are aesthetically pleasing.

Otoplasty Recovery and Results

One of the most exciting aspects of otoplasty is the almost immediate improvement in the appearance of your ears.

• Quick Recovery Time:
  While recovery varies depending on the procedure, most patients experience mild swelling and tenderness, which subside within a few days.
• Suture Removal:
  Sutures are typically removed within 10 to 14 days after surgery.
• Long-Lasting Results:
  The enhancements achieved through otoplasty are permanent, allowing you to enjoy your refined look for years to come.

Dr. Christopoulos will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. She and her team are available to answer any questions and support you every step of the way.
