What is Otoplasty?

Otoplasty, also known as ear surgery, can correct a number of issues associated with the appearance of the ears including: large or protruding ears, small or “cupped” ears, “shell” ears with no outer curve in the cartilage, or “lop” ears where the top of the ear folds downward or inward.

How Much Does Otoplasty Cost?

To determine the cost of your ear surgery, we invite you to schedule a private consultation at our practice. During your consultation, we will assess your cosmetic goals in order to pursue a treatment plan that matches your unique needs. Then, we will be able to provide you with a clear breakdown of the costs associated with your treatment. At Plastic Surgery of Palm Beach, we offer a wide array of monthly payment options to help you reach your individual wellness, beauty, and performance goals. We accept major credit cards, and our financing plans include CareCredit® and Alphaeon® Credit.

How Does Otoplasty Work?

The procedure can take roughly two to three hours depending on the amount of work that needs to be done, and it is performed under general anesthesia. Once the anesthesia has been administered, the doctor begins by making a small incision behind each of your ears, providing access to your ear cartilage. The cartilage can then be removed or reshaped as necessary. Because the incision is made discreetly behind the ear, the scar is hidden in the natural folds of the ear, making it undetectable to others.

What Can I Expect Following Otoplasty?

For five to seven days following surgery, you will need to wear a bandage to hold your ears in their new position. Recovery may vary from patient to patient, but some swelling and discoloration is not uncommon. Mild discomfort can easily be managed with pain medication.

How Can Otoplasty Fix the Appearance of My Ears?
