Your
choice of a qualified facial plastic surgeon is of
paramount importance. During the consultation, Dr.
Smith will examine the structure of your ears and
discuss possibilities for correcting the problems.
Even if only one ear needs “pinning back,” surgery
will probably be recommended for both ears to achieve
the most natural, symmetrical appearance.
If you
and Dr. Smith decide that otoplasty is indicated,
Dr. Smith will discuss the procedure. Following a
thorough medical history, Dr. Smith will explain
the kind of anesthesia required, surgical facility
and costs. Under normal conditions, otoplasty requires
approximately two hours to complete.
