Ear Surgery (Otoplasty)

The "pinning" back of the prominent ears is called an otoplasty. This procedure can be done as early as five years of age. In teenage and adult patients, this procedure is often done as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia with or without intravenous sedation. The incision for the otoplasty is entirely behind the ear. Patients generally are required to wear a compression dressing around the head for several days. After the dressing is removed, some sort of protective headband is worn, especially at night, for several weeks afterwards.

The treatments listed are not intended to be complete or comprehensive.
