How is Ear Surgery Performed?
The procedure is customized to each patient’s needs and typically includes:
Consultation & Planning: A detailed assessment of ear structure and desired changes.
Anesthesia: Usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, especially for children.
Incisions: Small incisions are made behind the ear to access cartilage.
Reshaping & Repositioning: Cartilage is sculpted or repositioned to achieve a natural contour.
Closing Incisions: Sutures are placed discreetly, hidden in natural folds.
The surgery usually takes 1–2 hours, and patients can return home the same day.
