Otoplasty Before & After Case 250

This 28 year old told Dr Parker that he has been bothered by his prominent ears for some time and finally decided to have them fixed. During the patient’s initial consultation, Dr. Parker explained that his ears were prominent because the anti helical fold had not fully formed and his concha was large. At surgery, under local anesthesia, Dr. Parker used well-hidden incisions in the crease behind the ears.  He created a normal antihelical fold in both ears with sutures, then reduced the size of the concha and set it back into a normal position with additional sutures. The patient recovered easily and without pain after surgery. He is very pleased with the appearance of his ears and how natural they look.
