Cosmetic Ear Surgery
(Otoplasty) in New York
Manhattan, New York City
Cosmetic Ear surgery, or Otoplasty,
is a procedure designed to correct and reshape abnormally
protruding or misshapen ears . This procedure
is especially popular for children who are self-conscious
about their ears . Dr. Lefkovits
recommends that protruding ears be repaired by about 5-6
years of age by which time the ears have reached near total
development.
The Procedure
Otoplasty can be performed under local anesthesia
in adults, but requires sedation in children. Dr. Lefkovits
will make an incision in the back of the ear so the scar
will remain inconspicuous.
The ear cartilage is then manipulated and reshaped to a
normal contour.
Recovery
Following Otoplasty, a bandage is worn for
about 5 days after which a light compression garment may
be worn at night for a short while. Stitches are removed
at 10 to 14 days postoperatively.
