Do You Need Plastic Surgery for Your Ears?

You may not think of the ears as a popular body part for cosmetic improvement. However, just like a large nose or receding hairline, unsightly ears can be a real threat to your self-esteem and confidence. After all, your ears are the framework of your face. When they are irregular in size, shape or form, they can be a distraction from your facial beauty and even a source of peer ridicule. Fortunately, a skilled facial plastic surgeon can correct unattractive ears just like other features of your face. At Back Bay Plastic Surgery, we offer ear plastic surgery for ear deformities you were born with as well as those that may have occurred during trauma.

It is rare to hear someone say, “you have beautiful ears.” Your ears should never be the first thing others see when they look at you. Instead, they should complement your overall facial structure and not be a distraction tearo your most attractive features, such as your eyes, lips or cheeks. Regardless of the reason for your cosmetic ear surgery, you can trust that we understand what it takes to bring the ears back into natural proportion and balance with the rest of your face.

Who Needs Ear Reconstruction?

There are a number of concerns that can cause patients to be unhappy with their ear appearance, including those that involve protruding ears, overly large ears as well as damaged or stretched earlobes. Even the smallest irregularity of the ears can significantly disrupt the symmetry and harmony of the face. Ear plastic surgery involves both cosmetic and reconstructive techniques that are tailored to the patient’s individual needs. Back Bay Plastic Surgery is pleased to offer the following options in ear surgery:

• Otoplasty/ Ear Pinning
• Torn Earlobe Repair

In general, cosmetic ear surgery is minimally invasive with minimal to no downtime. When it comes to Otoplasty, it is recommended that children be at least 5 to 6 years old, or have ears that are fully developed.
