Ear Surgery Techniques
Each case of ear surgery is highly individual as is the delicate and individual anatomy of the ear. Through an analysis of ear axis and positioning on the head, ear size and angle of protrusion, your surgeon will tailor a precise technique to correct the exact features that are disproportionate or deformed.
Repositioning protruding ears is the most common form of ear correction surgery performed. The procedure has a good safety record and high patient satisfaction. The goal of the surgery is to create an ear that is as normal in structure and balanced in proportion to other facial features.
Surgery for constricted ear and other deformities may use similar techniques as correction for protruding ears, in addition to other methods. These are more complex techniques and a secondary procedure may be necessary to obtain the optimal results.
Ear surgery revision may also be requested by adults who are dissatisfied with a prior surgery. This may include an unnatural appearance, over correction where ears appear to be pinned back sharply, and irregularity of the ear folds.
Ear surgery consultation
Overall health and personal outlook can greatly impact the outcome and the personal satisfaction of ear surgery. Safety and success of ear surgery requires an honest discussion with children about what they will experience and what is expected of them. Regardless of age, it is essential that you:
- Honestly share expectations for you or your child with your surgeon.
- Fully disclose health history and current medications
- Adults disclose the use of alcohol, tobacco or drugs
- Commit to following all of your surgeons instructions precisely
- During your consultation, your surgeon will ask about any previous ear surgery and discuss with out the normal asymmetry of your ears, something you have probably never noticed.
This asymmetry is caused by differences in the size and shape of your ears and in the shape of your skull where the ears sit. One of the goals of your surgery will be to improve this asymmetry, although it will never be perfect.

I encourage you to visit the web sites of the British Association of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons (BAPRAS), British Association of Aesthetic Surgeons (BAAPS) and American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

All this information will help you have a more informative consultation with your consultant plastic surgeon.

by injury. Correction of even minor deformities can have profound benefit to appearance
