Otoplasty - Case # 22431
A 34-year-old patient with both ears protruding, one more than the other. I performed an otoplasty under local anaesthesia in one hour, correcting each ear with a different tension to even out the distance to the head. He was back to his routine within a week. The photo was taken at 4 months, from behind: the ears now sit close and symmetrical, and the scar, hidden in the crease behind the ear, cannot be seen. More about this surgery on the otoplasty page.
