Ear Surgery NYC

When your ears are too large, protruding, or misshapen, it can impact your confidence and overall appearance. By surgically repositioning the ears closer to the head, ear surgery can drastically improve your overall facial symmetry.

Otoplasty (Ear Pinning)

Otoplasty, also known as ear pinning, is a surgical procedure that addresses protruding ears by removing excess cartilage and reshaping the ear structure. This procedure helps position the ears flatter against the skull, creating a more aesthetically pleasing and natural appearance. Dr. Paul Leong is known for his skillful and artistic approach to otoplasty, ensuring that the results are not only functional but also harmonious with the rest of the facial features. The surgery typically takes two to three hours to complete and can be performed under local anesthesia for adults or general anesthesia for children. For ears that have a shell-like shape, Dr. Leong may also create a natural fold to further enhance the overall appearance.

Earlobe Surgery

Earlobes can be damaged by trauma, stretched from gauged earrings, or suffer from torn piercings. If you have overly large or asymmetrical earlobes, earlobe repair surgery can restore them to a more natural and proportionate look. Dr. Leong specializes in repairing earlobes that have been torn or stretched, providing a customized approach to return them to their original appearance or desired size. This surgery is relatively quick and highly effective, often performed under local anesthesia.

What Is the Recovery Like from Ear Surgery?

Recovery from ear surgery varies depending on the procedure, but most patients experience minimal downtime. For otoplasty, patients typically experience some swelling and discomfort, which usually subsides within a week. Wearing a headband or wrap may be recommended during the first few days to help secure the ears in place. The incision lines from ear surgery are typically well-hidden, and with proper care, scars fade over time. If you’re also having earlobe repair surgery, the recovery time is typically quicker, with most patients returning to their regular activities within a few days to a week. Regardless of the procedure, Dr. Leong ensures that the healing process is as smooth as possible.
