Ear Surgery: Otoplasty in Dallas

Ear surgery in Dallas help patients to improves the shape, position, and proportion of the ear. Otoplasty is also performed to modify the ear’s structure or reduce or reposition disproportionately large or prominent ears.  Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. David Azouz’s goal for an otoplasty is to create a more natural look with better-positioned ears that complement and balance the patients’ faces.

Am I a candidate for ear surgery?

Ear surgery or Otoplasty is performed in children as young as 5 and in older adults.  Patients have a variety of ear anomalies that are both congenital and caused by injury or trauma.  These include the following:

  • Outstanding Ear
  • Cauliflower Ear
  • Lop-Ear
  • Folded Ear
  • Constricted Ear
  • Stahls Ear (Spock Ear)
  • Gauged Ear (Patients who have undergone piercing or ear gauging)
  • Post Traumatic Ear Loss
  • Ear Asymmetry
  • Enlarged Ear

Ear surgery in Dallas can also be performed on adults and correct split ears from earrings.

Ear surgery benefits

There are a variety of benefits for cosmetic ear surgery.  Otoplasty can create more facial balance, can improve the shape of the ear.  Otoplasty can correct cupped, outstanding, folded, protruding, gauged, cauliflower, and enlarged ear deformities.  Many patients report that otoplasty improves their self-confidence and this is often true in adults and young children.

How Ear surgery is performed in Dallas?

The extent of the procedure depends on your desired goals and what Dr. Azouz believes is appropriate to achieve your ideal results.  Ear Surgery usually takes about one to two hours, although complicated procedures may take longer. Dr. Azouz will create small incisions on the back of the ears, which are concealed in the natural crevices of the ear so that virtually no scar will be visible after the healing period. The ear cartilage can be folded or removed as needed to reshape the ear and bring it closer to the head, improving the appearance of the patient.  Otoplasty is also sometimes called ear pinning but no actual pinning back of the ears is performed despite the name.

Anesthesia for Ear surgery

Dr. Azouz aims for the patient to have the best experience possible.  Many patients have varying desires in how awake or how asleep they would like to be during plastic surgery.  Dr. Azouz performs otoplasty under local and sedation.  Some patients desire deep sedation, and others wish for light sedation or no sedation.  With local anesthesia and sedation, patients tend to have a quicker recovery as compared to general anesthesia. 

Ear surgery recovery

After otoplasty, your ears will be covered in bandages for protection and support.   It is common to feel some discomfort and itching which are usually well controlled with medications prescribed by Dr. Azouz.   Dr. Azouz recommends trying not to rub or place excessive force on the incisions after ear surgery.  A few days after otoplasty, Dr. Azouz will remove your bandages.  Dr. Azouz will guide the use of headbands that cover, support, and protect the ears.

Combination of an Ear surgery with other plastic surgeries

Ear surgery in Dallas can be combined with a variety of plastic surgery procedures, including:

· Facelift

·  Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty)

· Neck lift

·  Chin augmentation (chin implant)

·  Brow lift

Ear surgery can also be performed in combination with breast and body surgery such as liposuction, mini tummy tuck, breast augmentation, or breast lift.

Ear surgery cost

Ear surgery cost can widely vary. After a physical evaluation, Dr. Azouz will determine the ear surgery cost on an individual basis.  Insurance does not routinely cover the cost of ear surgery; however, Dr. Azouz provides different financing options to make ear surgery in Dallas affordable for his patients.

Ear surgery results

Results are usually immediate and permanent, providing a life-long benefit to the patient’s appearance and self-esteem. Patients often return home shortly after the otoplasty is complete. As with any surgical procedure, Dallas Plastic Surgeon Dr. Azouz provides specific aftercare instructions and close follow-up care to ensure ideal results are achieved and a safe and healthy recovery.

Ear surgery FAQs

Can insurance cover otoplasty?

Otoplasty is deemed a cosmetic operation by most insurance companies.

What causes prominent or outstanding ears?

Outstanding ears are most commonly caused by genetics.  Prominent ears tend to run in families.  Ear prominence is anatomically caused by underdevelopment of the antihelical fold which usually keeps the top third of the ear close to the head.

What kind of dressing will I wear after otoplasty?

Dr. Azouz utilizes compression headbands that allow patients a cost-effective yet comfortable method of reducing bruising and swelling and avoid the chance of hematoma after otoplasty.

Can I have one ear set back and not the other?

Many patients have asymmetry which requires one ear to necessitate greater correction than the other. In the majority of cases, both ears will need to be repositioned.  There are cases where only one ear requires correction and this is common for cases of ear trauma,

Is it possible to fix an ear lobe that was damaged by an ear ring or ear gauge?

Dr. Azouz is able to correct split ear deformities from earrings and ear gauges.  In most cases Dr. Azouz able to utilize local tissues to recreate a natural-appearing ear lobe.
