Frequently, patients experience symmetrical conditions to both ears. In these cases, we will perform an otoplasty on both ears to ensure they match each other and are well-balanced with the rest of your features. If your otoplasty in Jacksonville is for only one ear, we will surgically reshape it to match your other ear.

What Is Otoplasty?
If you’re concerned your ears are too noticeable because of their natural shape or an injury, the experts at Cosmetic Surgery Affiliates can help! With an otoplasty, we can reshape your ears to balance and improve the way they look.
We can also repair torn or stretched earlobes to help your ears look normal. Both children and adults can achieve a balanced facial profile and a normal ear appearance with an otoplasty in Jacksonville.

What To Expect From An Otoplasty
01
Consultation
During your consultation, you will sit down with one of our surgeons for a one-on-one discussion. They will listen attentively while you explain your concerns about your ears, and they’ll tell you about your available treatment options. Together, you’ll decide on the option that’s right for you.
02
Preparation
After deciding on an otoplasty in Jacksonville, you and your surgeon will talk through every step of treatment. We offer local anesthesia and IV sedation for otoplasty patients, and we will help you choose what’s best for you. We will also review your pre-care and post-care instructions to ensure you feel prepared.
03
Procedure
Our approach for your surgery will depend on the specific nature of your concerns. In most cases, your surgeon will make an incision to access the underlying cartilage. They will reshape the cartilage and may remove or graft tissue as necessary. Finally, they will carefully close the incision with small sutures.
04
Recovery
After your surgery, we wrap your ears in bandages to support their new shape and prevent healing complications. We will review your after-care instructions with you once more and schedule your first follow-up appointment before sending you home. Call our office if you have questions or concerns during recovery.

Otoplasty FAQs
We can perform an otoplasty for any healthy person who is dissatisfied with one or both of their ears. On average, children ages 5 to 6 are ideal candidates since their ears have already developed but the cartilage and tissues are still soft. We also recommend this age because we can help reshape the ears before any schooling, which will help your child avoid teasing in the classroom.
For many patients, the results of their otoplasty are permanent. The ears typically mature faster than any other part of the body. Even as the body changes due to age and gravity, your ears experience minimal changes. Patients typically don’t require a second otoplasty in Jacksonville.
