What is Otoplasty?
Otoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure used to adjust the size, shape, or position of your ears. Prominent or forward-facing ears can distract attention from high-value facial features and can be easily rectified. Procedures include Ear Set Back (conchal set back), Prominauris (prominent ear) Treatment, and overall Ear Lobe Rejuvenation. The details of each otoplasty procedure depend on their unique needs.

For any cosmetic procedure, patients should have realistic expectations for their results.
Your Otoplasty Procedure
What to Expect
Otoplasty is an outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia with sedation.
As each patient’s needs are different, the length varies, but you can generally expect your otoplasty to take between 1-3 hours. Once your anesthesia and sedation have taken effect, Dr. Davis will create an incision in the natural crease at the back of your ear or within the folds of your ear, depending on the goals of your procedure.
He will remove or manipulate portions of the ears’ tissue and skin to create the desired results before closing your incisions. He will place dressings over your ears to protect them from infection and prevent damage to your results. As it will take some time for the sedation to wear off, you will need to make prior arrangements for someone close to you to drive you home after surgery.
Otoplasty Recovery
Following an Otoplasty Beverly Hills patients will need to make sure to keep their ears clean and dry. They will also need to avoid touching, scratching, or rubbing them. We recommend wearing clothing that opens in the front to prevent having to pull anything over your head.
You will likely experience swelling, bruising, redness, itching, and numbness or tingling. Following your procedure for otoplasty Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon Dr. Davis will provide you with all of the information and resources you need to ensure that your recovery is as comfortable as possible. Keeping your head elevated can help to alleviate swelling and discomfort.
Dr. Davis will remove and necessary sutures and advise you as to when you may return to certain activities. After one week, your dressings will be removed. However, you will need to wear an elastic headband for four to six weeks to help your ears achieve their desired shape permanently.
