Otoplasty information in Arizona.

Otoplasty is a general term for cosmetic surgery of the ears, but more specifically for a procedure that pins the ears closer to head when they unpleasantly “stick out“. Many people experience this condition. In childhood ears that “stick out“ can be psychologically traumatic for the individual, specifically through grades 1-5 as other children “tease“ the child incessantly. By age 6 the ears have grown almost to adult size and surgery to improve the situation can be performed at this time.

Patient Testimonial

Dear Dr. Guerra,

I cannot imagine why anyone would hesitate to get a face lift, in your hands that is. I encountered no problems whatsoever. You prescribed pain medication that I did not even require. Other than icing down the night of surgery, there was no down time. Even when you removed my staples, you did not hurt me at all. I truly believe your gentle manner and again, your genuine compassion and concern, has everything to do with this

Otoplasty plastic surgery details.

The most common reason to for “big ears” is excess cartilage tissue. During the operation this cartilage tissue is removed or modified in order to make the ears appear smaller and closer to the head. In childhood, cartilage is more easily shaped than in adulthood. In adults the operation is carried out in a similar manner, but the cartilage is usually stiffer and has more of a tendency to return to its original state after surgery. Adult patients need to understand and accept these facts.
