If you have protruding ears, long or large ears, or misshapen or prominent ears, you are definitely a good candidate for Otoplasty in Miami. It may be that you are unhappy with the shape and proportion of your ears. Ear surgery can be performed on anyone, including children beginning at age four to six years old. Young children need to be mature enough to understand how their ears are different and what is involved with this type of procedure. Anyone undergoing an otoplasty needs to be in good physical health.
Otoplasty is a safe procedure that can correct many of the issues with the ears. It is a surgery meaning there are possible complications to be aware of, including asymmetry, bleeding, blood clots requiring draining, changes in sensation, infection of cartilage, scarring, and skin irregularities.
Once your bandages are removed, you will see immediate results in the appearance of your ears. Swelling slowly decreases -- meaning it can take up to six months before you notice the full impact of the permanent changes to your ears.
It can be as young as age four. It depends on the child, their maturity and unique circumstances. It is important for your child to understand what the procedure is about and what it can do. They need to be comfortable to go through with the surgery.
Otoplasty is a surgical procedure that decreases the size of large ears, brings protruding ears closer to the head or treats misshapen ears by pulling them back in a way that creates balance to the ears. With more natural-looking and proportional ears, our Miami Otoplasty procedure makes prominent ears less noticeable and makes someone less self-conscious about their ears.
By reshaping the ear, it gives confidence, especially for young children and teenagers. The typical otoplasty can take up to three hours depending on the nature of the surgery. For young children, general anesthesia is usually administered. Older children and adults receive general or local anesthesia with sedation. An incision is usually done in the crease behind the ear where the cartilage is sculpted or bent back to the head to reshape the ear cartilage on the inside. Cartilage may be removed based on the size of the ear and the goal of the surgery.
There are usually no visible scars on the front surface of the ear so it's hard for anyone to know you’ve had ear surgery. The incision may be placed on the front of the ear when dealing with larger ears. At the end of the procedure, sutures are used to close the incisions. The aim of an otoplasty is to make your ears less prominent by bringing your ears closer to your head giving you a more normal appearance. After the surgery, your ears will organically better fit your profile and no longer be a source of attention.
A certified and experienced surgeon like Dr. Z can perform an otoplasty and take care of reshaping your ears to properly fit your profile and take away the self-consciousness from having a prominent or misshapen ear.

When they go back to school, they should be careful during certain activities such as when they are on the playground. It is also a good idea to let their teacher(s) know about the surgery and have them help monitor their activities for a few weeks. Here are some other things to look for:
