Our lovely 28 year old patient was self conscious about the appearance of her protruding right ear. Goals were to allow her to wear her hair in a pony-tail, and to create a natural looking right ear appearance. She had "unfurling of her antihelical fold" which tends to be congenital, and autosomal dominant - it runs in the family. She was repaired with 3 Mustarde sutures, and she is seen 6 months after her otoplasty surgery.
Our lovely patient is seen six months following revision rhinoplasty and otoplasty surgery to set back her outstanding ear appearance. After her first rhinoplasty, she was dissatisfied with a persistent dorsal hump and bulbous, droopy nasal tip appearance. She also was insecure about her ear appearance when her hair was in a ponytail. You can see a natural-looking ear appearance, and ears that don't stick out so far. Her otoplasty was performed with conchal setback sutures, and Mustarde sutures in both ears. Her nasal dorsal hump was removed, along with a nasal mole, and tip-plasty was performed.
Some people are bothered by the appearance of their protruding ear appearance. Otoplasty ear reshaping surgery is designed to move your ears closer to your head so they do not stick out and are less distracting. We perform suture otoplasty with a scar hidden in the crease behind your ear.
When outstanding ears are a source of concern, otoplasty ear reshaping surgery may be considered for a less distracting appearance - and to feel comfortable wearing a ponytail.
Otoplasty ear reshaping surgery was performed in our handsome patient to position his ears closer to his head for a less distracting appearance.
