What is Ear Reshaping surgery?
Otoplasty, sometimes called ear pinning, reshapes the ears. This surgery is often performed on children after their ears are grown.
Results from surgery
Ear Reshaping surgery can make the ears smaller or bring them closer to the head. This cosmetic surgery is used to bring the ears into proportion with the face.
Ear Reshaping details
The Ear Reshaping incision is made just behind the ear, right where it joins to the head. Dr. Rau cuts away the cartilage and skin necessary to bring about the desired result. Sometimes, Dr. Rau shapes the cartilage of the ear and pins it into place using permanent sutures.
In some cases, Dr. Rau does not remove any cartilage. He just uses stitches to hold the cartilage in place. During the healing process, sutures are used to hold the cartilage in the desired shape after Dr. Rau has sculpted it.
Cost of Ear Reshaping surgery
The cost of ear reshaping will depend on several factors. The price can be affected by body type, type of technique performed, surgical complications, and even allergies.
