Miami Ear Surgery (Otoplasty)
While the ears help us hear, listen and understand, if you have protruding, disfigured or unusually large ears, you may feel self-conscious about them. Ear surgery, which is also known as otoplasty, can improve the shape, position and proportion of the ears, which probably sounds like really good news to anyone who's dealt with lifelong ear issues. Ear surgery can correct birth defects in the ears as well as issues that came about with time or with injury.
Music to your ears
Ear surgery brings balance and proportion to the ears and the entire face by recreating the natural shape of the ear. While many cosmetic services are more appropriate for adults, children as young as 5 years old may be good candidates for the procedure, if their ear cartilage is stable and they are able to communicate and follow directions well.
At Elite Plastic Surgery, Dr. Salama offers elite, expert attention to anyone dealing with large or oddly shaped ears, listening to all of your concerns and answering any questions you may have about ear surgery.
The best candidates for ear surgery are in good overall health, at least 5 years of age, don't smoke and have a positive outlook and specific goals in mind for the surgery. Ear surgery is a highly individualized procedure and you should do it for yourself, not to fulfill someone else's desires.
Consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon
Before you schedule ear surgery for yourself or for a child, you should first consult with a board-certified cosmetic surgeon who has a wealth of experience performing this specialized procedure. Anyone in Miami interested in this procedure can meet with Dr. Salama to discuss:
- The specifics of the actual otoplasty procedure
- Why you want the procedure, your expectations and desired outcome
- Previous medical history as well as use of current medications, vitamins, herbal supplements, alcohol, tobacco and drugs
- Pre-surgery prep and post-surgery recovery plans
- Concerns, questions, costs, benefits and more
- Any other plastic surgery services you are interested in
The results of ear surgery are almost immediate and will be visible after the dressings that support the new shape of the ear are removed. If you have struggled with ear issues, whether it's size, shape or placement, an otoplasty may be music to your ears.
