Otoplasty Before & After Case 243

This 30 year old became increasingly concerned about the prominent appearance of his ears as his hair thinned. During his initial consultation with Dr. Parker, the patient showed him ‘imaged’ pictures, his wife had performed, to show what he wanted his ears to look like after surgery. He was very specific in terms of what he wanted. Dr. Parker performed bilateral otoplasty surgery whereby, using a hidden incision behind each ear, he inserted sutures into the ear cartilage to form a better defined antihelical fold and bring the concha closer to the scalp. Dr. Parker had the patient’s ‘imaged’ pictures with him in the operating room, serving as a blueprint which he followed. The patient healed quickly after surgery. He is very happy with the improved appearance of his ears and for Dr. Parker honoring his specific requests.
