Otoplasty Before & After Case 1099

This 23 year old asked Dr. Parker to improve his protruding ears which have become increasingly bothersome to him. At the patient’s initial consultation, Dr. Parker explained the anatomic reasons for his prominent ears and how they could be corrected surgically. At surgery, which was performed under local anesthesia, Dr. Parker made inconspicuous incisions in the crease behind the patient’s ears which allowed him to sculpture the ear cartilage with sutures into the desired shape. The patient said his recovery was easy and painless. He is very pleased with the improved, but natural looking contour of his ears.
