Otoplasty Before & After Case 239

This 19 year old has been aware of his protruding ears for years but recently decided he wanted the problem corrected. Under local anesthesia, Dr. Parker performed an otoplasty on both ears. Using a small inconspicuous incision in the crease behind both ears, he created an normal-appearing anti helical fold with sutures, giving the ears a normal shape and made them less noticeable. The patient experienced no pain after surgery and returned to activities in a short period of time. He is very happy with the natural appearance of his ears.
