Otoplasty, or cosmetic ear surgery, is a procedure to reshape, resize or reposition the ears. The most common use is correcting prominent or protruding ears, bringing them closer to the head for a more natural appearance.
The surgery typically takes 1 to 2 hours and can be performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia. Incisions are placed behind the ear and are virtually invisible after healing.
Dr. Kia uses modern techniques and bespoke planning to create a natural result that harmonizes with your facial features.
