The Procedure

  • Local or general anesthesia can be used and it takes about one to two hours.
  • Incision is usually on the back of the ear to expose the ear cartilage.
  • The cartilage is then reshaped and sutured in place to create the natural fold and decrease the prominence.
  • Occasionally, a piece of cartilage is removed either from the posterior incision or from an incision inside the ear.
  • This can be combined with many other cosmetic surgeries especially nose reshaping to bring better balance to your facial features.

The Recovery

Example diagram of how ear shaping surgery happens.
  • The head is wrapped in gauze dressing to help with the healing and molding of the ears.
  • After a few days the bulky gauze dressing is removed and a headband can be worn.
  • Most patients experience minimal pain that is mostly gone by the second or third day and is easily controlled by medications.
  • Swelling is mild to moderate for the first week, and rapidly disappears thereafter.
  • The ears may throb or ache for a few days.
  • Resume many activities within the first week, and most by the third week.
  • Stitches are removed between seven and ten days.
  • Off of work for three to five days.

The Result

  • Better balance of the facial features.
  • More natural curvature of the ears.
  • Improved look.
