Enhance Your Facial Harmony

When it comes to ear aesthetics, otoplasty is a highly sought-after procedure. This cosmetic treatment can address prominent or misshapen ears in adults or children, restoring balance and symmetry to the face. Modern otoplasty techniques reshape and reposition the ears, achieving natural-looking results without an overly pulled-back appearance. By adjusting the ear's shape and position, patients can enjoy improved facial harmony and boosted confidence.

What is Otoplasty?

An otoplasty or ear surgery is performed on both adults and children to correct ear shape and protrusion, allowing for a more natural appearance. Otoplasty makes one or both ears more proportionate to the size and shape of the head and face. An otoplasty procedure can pin back your ears, reshape them, reduce their size, or make them more symmetrical.

Who is a Candidate?

Individuals who seek to improve the appearance of their ears and are physically healthy may be good candidates for otoplasty in New Jersey. The surgery may be performed on children as young as five to six years of age, and it is often recommended that it take place at an early age. It is, however, becoming more and more common for adults to choose this procedure as well.

Where It Helps: Benefits of Ear Surgery

Otoplasty enhances the appearance of the outer ear in both adults and children so that it appears less prominent and more natural*. From a medical standpoint, ear-correcting surgery is ideally performed at ages five to six years because the ear has almost grown to adult size.

For most children, peer ridicule can be disruptive to a child’s self-esteem and outlook. Psychosocially, otoplasty performed prior to primary school age has had a tremendously positive impact on a child’s self-esteem.

What It Entails: Adults vs. Children

For adults, Dr. Wise conveniently performs the procedure in our fully accredited office-based surgical center. General anesthesia is unnecessary, and patients may go home the same day.

For young children, Dr. Wise generally performs the otoplasty at an ambulatory surgical center on an outpatient basis, under deeper sedation.

The Otoplasty Procedure: What to Expect

Patients who experience otoplasty in NJ with Dr. Wise can expect the procedure to last two to three hours. They can see the results of the procedure immediately. After your surgery, you will return home wearing a light dressing that remains until the next day. We ask that you wear a tighter bandage around your ears for the next week.

About a week after surgery, most individuals can return to work or school and most normal activities. After the first week, Dr. Wise asks his patients to continue to wear the tighter bandage at night to prevent the ear from folding over while they sleep. For more information, contact us now.

PATIENT FROM WAYNE, NJ

"I had otoplasty at another office when I was a teenager and I was very unhappy with the results. Years later, I finally decided to have the procedure done again. Dr. Wise listened to me and understood how I wanted my ears to look, which I did not get from my first surgeon. The procedure was very easy and Dr. Wise did an excellent job. The recovery was uncomfortable and somewhat painful, but it was completely worth it. I had been self-conscious of my ears my whole life, and now I am happy to say that I love my ears and enjoy wearing my hair up!"
