Ear Surgery Philadelphia
Prominent ears can be a source of self-consciousness for both children and adults. When the ears draw too much attention, it is not uncommon for children to be subject to teasing that negatively impacts their selfesteem. The majority of the time, ear surgery, medically know as otoplasty, is performed on children between the ages of 4 to 18 years old. It is ideal to have a child undergo the procedure at age 4 or 5, as the ears have finished developing, and to prevent the low self-esteem that often results from ridicule from their school-age peers.
Adults often feel uncomfortable and suffer from low confidence when they feel that their ears are too noticeable. If your objective is for your ears or your children’s ears to be less obtrusive, otoplasty can help you achieve your goals.
Otoplasty is utilized to reduce the size of large ears and/or to set protruding ears back closer to the head. There are a number of variations of the procedure, depending upon the shape of ears and desired outcome. Dr. Chapin is a highly skilled board-certified plastic surgeon who offers his patients a fast and minimally invasive procedure that adjusts the ears to blend in naturally with the rest of the facial features and to restore a more balanced appearance.
Ear Surgery Can:
- Reduce the size of your ears
- Rectify ears that protrude too far from the head
- Restore symmetry between uneven ears
- Bring balance to facial features
